[Comprehensive] Traveling through Liaozhai with a hundred ghosts

Yuzao's body stiffened for a moment, and then shouted: "Shut up!"

Xu Hang resolutely remained silent.

Tamazamo looked tenderly at the figure of Aika in front of her.

In fact, as Xu Hang said, this is just a trace of obsession left by Aihua, it does not have thinking and consciousness, it is purely a mechanical desire to complete the last remnant of life.

The demonic aura raging in front of Yuzao just now aroused it, making it seem to go back to the time before dying and seeing his father transform back into a nine-tailed fox and go berserk.

Aihua looked at Yuzao with obsession, and said softly: "It's great to see you again, father."

"My child, come here and let me see you again."

Tamamo said while reaching out to "Aika", hoping to touch her, but as the wish was about to be fulfilled, this obsession gradually dissipated, and the figure of "Aika" began to become more and more blurred.

"Father, I have always been very happy, thank you..."

Finally, as "Aihua" murmured these words, the figure finally disappeared.

Tamamomae's hand was still in mid-air, although at the last moment he seemed to be stroking "Aika"'s cheek, but Tamamomae knew that he hadn't actually touched anything.

His child is really gone...

Think of that father again.

"So that child knows everything..." Yuzao said melancholy.

For a moment, I felt empty in my heart, and I didn't have the mood to get angry anymore, so I took back my evil spirit and tail.

Xu Hang finally calmed down before seeing Yuzao, and secretly heaved a sigh of relief.But seeing the other party's lost look now, he hesitated, whether he should speak to comfort the other party.

But he also knows very well that a big monster like Yu Zaoqian usually has extremely strong self-esteem and strength.After thinking about it, he still didn't say anything, but stood silently beside Yuzao.

"Hey! Are you two okay!"

At this moment, Shuten-douji's voice came from not far away.

It seems that because of Tamamo-mae's sudden riot just now, the monsters who hadn't gone far were alarmed, Shuten, Ibaraki, Yasha and others all rushed towards this side.

Tamazamo had almost turned into a prototype when she was angry before, so her clothes were a little messy at this time, and Shi Nvli was also blown up by the evil wind just now, and she disappeared without a trace.

Seeing Shuten and the others approaching, Tamamo covered his face with his sleeves and turned his back, looking like he was frightened.

Xu Hang glanced at Yuzao beside him, and replied, "We're fine."

Seeing that Xu Hang said he was fine, the rest of the monsters relaxed a lot.

The bookman felt the evil spirit remaining at the scene, and couldn't help sighing in fear: "It's really a terrible evil spirit!"

Jiu Tun frowned and said, "What's going on?"

Xu Hang was a little confused, because he never told lies, so he could only hesitate: "This..."

Yu Zaoqian who was beside him probably saw that he was very awkward, so he lowered his voice and said: "Just now a big monster passed by here, it is really scary."

He flinched as he spoke, as if he was really frightened.

Xu Hang was speechless, and simply put on a tacit appearance.

Seeing that it was just like this, and that Xu Hang and the others were fine, the monsters said a few words of concern, and then dispersed.

After watching them leave, Xu Hang was about to return to Ping'an Capital, but at this moment, Yu Zaoqian suddenly said, "Painter, why don't you have a drink with me if you have nothing to do."

Xu Hang was a little surprised, Yu Zaoqian had already looked normal at this time, but I don't know if Xu Hang thought too much, he always felt a feeling of loneliness and loneliness on the other party.

After thinking about it, but still not refusing, Xu Hang nodded and said, "Okay."

Yu Zaoqian didn't take him back to the palace, but went to a nearby mountain, randomly found an abandoned dilapidated house, left Xu Hang in the courtyard, and ran out by himself.

Not long after, Yuzao returned with a few jugs of wine.

As soon as Xu Hang smelled the wine, he knew it was the demon wine made by civet cats. He had drunk this kind of wine in Heiye Mountain before.

Seeing Yu Zao brought it like this before, it must be that the other party ransacked the civet cat's wine store while the civet cat was drunk.In fact, Jiu Tun Douzi often does this kind of thing. Sometimes he gets tired of drinking the demon wine in his wine gourd, and when he wants to change his taste, he will go and rob civet cats. Opinion, at most, is to feel sorry for the wine I brewed.

Yu Zaoqian filled two wine cups with wine and handed one to Xu Hang.Then he drank it all in one gulp, Xu Hang also drank the wine in the wine cup in one gulp.

After a few back and forth conversations in silence, Tamamomae opened his mouth to speak.

But he didn't mention his own affairs, but asked Xu Hang: "Painter, have you always been this cold?"

Xu Hang said lightly: "Probably, people around me say that about me."

Yuzao was silent for a long time, then suddenly said maliciously: "You always look calm and calm, sometimes I really want to break your face. If you go crazy because of despair, I don't know what it will be like." of?"

Xu Hang remained silent, because of the situation that Yuzao said before, he actually had some expectations in his heart.Just like when he was young, he was curious about the laughter and happiness of his peers, and tried to participate in it and understand their happiness.Although it was useless, and he no longer forced himself to blend in later, the exploration has never been less.

Perhaps it is precisely because they do not understand and have not experienced it, so it makes people miss, guess, and look forward to it.

Seeing Xu Hang in a daze, Yuzao smiled.

"Xu Hang, you are indeed an interesting human being."

Xu Hang looked at him strangely, then, Yu Zaoqian suddenly took out the fan, pressed the fan against Xu Hang's chin and lifted it gently.

"Speaking of which, if you want to feel the feeling of worrying about gains and losses, you might as well try falling in love with me."

"..." He probably didn't expect him to say that, Xu Hang was very surprised for a moment, and after a while, he managed to say, "You're drunk, Yuzaoqian."

Yuzao was stunned for a moment before laughing out loud: "I'm just joking with you, but to be honest, love is the easiest thing to destroy reason. If you want to find someone to experience it, you might as well target me Ah. I consider myself to be one of the best in all aspects. As for whether I will respond to you, this kind of thing..."

Seeing this, Xu Hang knew that Yu Zaoqian had completely recovered, so he said helplessly, "Don't make jokes about this kind of thing."

"It's really not fun." Seeing that he didn't cooperate, Yuzao could only express regret, "You took so much trouble to ask me out and indulged me so much, if I didn't know that you are a ruthless man, I would have doubted you Do you like me?"

Xu Hang knew that Yuzao was talking nonsense, so he didn't answer at all.

After a while, Yu Zaoqian saw that there was no more wine in the jug, so she said, "Forget it, I've been out for so long today."

The moon is already high in the sky, and there is no human habitation in the deep mountains. The courtyard in this abandoned building is extraordinarily quiet.

"Go back." Xu Hang said.

Yu Zaoqian threw the wine cup casually, and there was a "clang", the sound of broken porcelain became particularly abrupt in the quiet night.

Then Yuzao didn't say anything before this time, and they returned to Heianjing soon after.

Afterwards, for Xu Hang, his stay in Ping'an Jingzhong was similar to that of the past. If there was any change, it was probably that in his free time, besides looking for Qingming, he now had more places like Yuzaoqian.

In the beginning, the other party sent a frog to invite him, and later he gradually got used to it, and sometimes it was inconvenient to talk to Qingming about things between monsters, but it was possible to chat with Qingming in front of Yuzao, and then unconsciously, Xu Hang found himself Already subconsciously, they went to the other party's yard to reminisce and chat twice every three days.

For such an elusive monster like Yu Zaoqian, Xu Hang couldn't judge the other party's mind, maybe the other party regarded himself as half a friend, right?

One month has passed since Cherry Blossom Forest came back, and the portraits commissioned by the emperor Xu Hang for the concubines have been completed.

The emperor was very happy and hoped to keep Xu Hang as a court painter.But Xu Hang painted for the emperor at the beginning, just because he first came to Heian capital, he was famous but had no connections, so he needed some political power as his backing.

It happened that Da Nayan recommended him at that time, so he simply followed the trend. Besides, serving the nobles as a painter, he didn't have to worry about arousing the fear of Yinyang Liao.

Although the emperor regretted it, he didn't force it, so he rewarded some gold and silver treasures.

And because Xu Hang fulfilled the task entrusted by the emperor very well, Da Nayan, as the recommender, was also rewarded for this, which won a certain advantage for his party leader, so Da Nayan naturally praised Xu Hang a lot.

After doing this, Xu Hang lived very comfortably in Ping'an Capital in the following days.

From time to time, I go back to Heiye Mountain to communicate with the monsters there, and occasionally go to Atago Mountain to catch up with Otengu, sometimes I meet Shuten and accompany him to drink and learn, and I go to the opponent's house to drink tea and play chess when I am resting, and I go to the palace with Oboro at night.

These days are relaxed and happy.

Occasionally, however, there are ripples in the calm waters.

Since Xu Hang completed the task of the emperor, he no longer entered the palace on the surface.

Although he no longer entered and left the palace, the maids and wives in the palace did not forget him.After all, a handsome and talented young man with a mysterious origin is really an existence that is easy to admire for the lonely women in the palace.

In a side hall of the palace, several women in the palace were chatting with each other after work.

A female official said slightly sadly: "It seems that the painter hasn't been to the palace for a long time."

The female officer who answered the conversation next to him said: "That Shujingshe doesn't come out for activities recently, does she?"

"Maybe it's because she was abandoned by the painter, so I'm depressed now, so I'm not in the mood to come out. I heard that the painter hasn't contacted her since he stopped entering the palace. That ruthless man..."

Even though she said so, the female officer had a gloating tone.

"That's not necessarily the case!" said a married woman, "When the Sun Palace staff went in to clean her clothes the day before yesterday, they saw peach blossom petals on them."

The female officer who was gloating just now said with an unpredictable look: "I remember that there seems to be no peach blossoms in this palace?"

"Yes, there are only peach blossom forests in the suburbs of Kyoto."

The female officials quickly speculated that the painter might have a private relationship with Zao Nu from Shujingshe.

A few of them are talking about it purely with the mentality of gossip, but the people listening on the sidelines may not be.

Among the palace people serving next to her, there was a low-status palace lady, after hearing their conversation, her eyes faintly revealed the color of pain.

Master painter, master painter... why do you fall in love with such a reckless woman?

This court lady came to the courtyard by chance when Xu Hang was painting for the concubine.

Behind the bamboo curtain, the court lady only took a glimpse, and was captured by Xu Hang's figure ever since.

How can there be such a beautiful man in this world, how happy it would be to be loved by him!

Jealousy quickly spread in the court lady's heart, and finally, a vision was born in the darkness that settled in her heart.

That night.

"Huh?" Yuzao, who was teasing the dog in the courtyard, suddenly showed a questioning look, and then he looked into the air.

I saw a woman's head floating in mid-air, with a long neck attached to her head. The woman's eyes were closed, her brows were tightly frowned, and she looked very disturbed. Obviously, the other party was unconscious at this time.

This head floated into the courtyard in front of Yuzao with obsession, and wrapped around Yuzao. If it were an ordinary person, he would probably be entangled to death by the rope-like neck at this moment.

Yuzao showed a displeased expression in front of him, and was about to deal with this ignorant woman, but heard her muttering something.

"Master Painter...Master Painter..."

Immediately, Tamamomae looked weird, and then chuckled, with the mentality of wanting to cause some trouble for the instigator who provoked the woman's heart without knowing it, Tamamomae said in a persuasive tone to the woman who unconsciously turned into a monster due to her obsession : "Your master painter is not here, go, go to the other courtyard of the Yuan family, your master painter will be waiting for you there."

Hearing his words, the potter's wheel slowly left the courtyard in front of Yuzao and flew towards Yuan's house.

Not long after, Xu Hang, who was meditating on the side edge, suddenly opened his eyes, and saw the pulley head flying towards him with his name in his mouth, he couldn't help frowning.

A spell to exorcise evil spirits and purify the heart was uttered from his mouth and hit the head of the pulley.The woman's head, whose eyes were originally closed, suddenly opened its eyes, and there was a sound of "Ah!", and then on the other side where the neck was connected, as if someone was pulling a rope, the head was withdrawn with a whimper.

In a room in the palace.

The palace maid woke up from her sleep, vaguely remembering that she had turned into a monster and flew out in her dream, with a frightened expression on her face.

……

a few days later.

Xu Hang followed the car into the palace to visit Yuzaoqian.

Just after getting out of the car, Yuzao said with a half-smile, "Xu Hang, you must have a lot of good fortune these days, right?"

Xu Hang: "..."

Inadvertently won the woman's heart, and made the other party obsessed with it, obsessed with turning into a monster in sleep.

Although it was a disaster without recklessness, this incident can be regarded as Xu Hang's dark history. In the days to come, Yu Zaoqian used it to make fun of him from time to time.

The author has something to say:

I saw that some readers worried that the uncle's feelings for the protagonist would not be as good as his past wife.

Well... When the media interviewed Wong Kar Wai before, they asked him, "Leslie Cheung or Tony Leung, who is your favorite actor?"

Wong Kar Wai replied: "Drunk flowers should be sunny, drunk snow should be late, they are different flavors, I was lucky to meet them."

In fact, it is not necessary to earn high or low. The protagonist and the witch are originally two different types of people that the uncle met in different stages, so there is no comparison.The character of the protagonist is originally a type with relatively little emotional fluctuations, so it is destined to be difficult to get warm with the uncle, and the long flow of water is also a way of getting along.

The current progress is probably in the state where the uncle has already regarded the protagonist as a friend...

Well, the uncle only regards the protagonist as a friend now, before he was just a funny junior→_→
