frivolous

The bow and arrow hit the ground violently, Chu Ci's hands trembled, and he called Chu Ge's name sadly: "Second Brother..."

The sharp arrow pierced the viscera, causing a few drops of cold sweat to ooze from the forehead. Chu Ge forced a smile: "Brother, I have never begged you since I was a child, please let them go, and my child ..."

Originally he was holding his breath, but now that he was stimulated, Xie Yan couldn't help but bent down and coughed violently. At the same time, it affected the wounds on his body, and the pain made his throat feel fishy and sweet.

Lanyue was like a nightmare, holding Chu Ge in her arms blankly, holding back tears and desperately covering Chu Ge's wound: "Don't...don't..."

However, no matter how hard you try, you can't slow down the speed of life passing. Lan Yueshi hugged Chu Ge's gradually icy body and cried loudly, and everyone who heard it was moved.

"For the sake of my second brother, Lan Yueshi, let's go..." His voice was hoarse for a moment, his hands were still shaking, but Chu Ci narrowed his eyes slightly and looked firmly in a certain direction, "But thank you for the banquet... Can't go."

At this time, there was a burst of flute sound from the sky, and it was as cold as frost, and everyone felt the cold spread from the soles of their feet, straight to the top of the sky.Immediately, a gust of cold wind blew past, gray and black clouds covered the bright full moon, and indistinct black shadows sprang out from the ground.A guard closest to Xie Yan suddenly let out a scream, and then was strangled by some unknown shadow, unable to utter a whimper for help.Before he could utter a word clearly, everyone heard the sound of a broken bone. When they looked closely, the man's head was tilted to one side, drooping like a rag doll, and he fell straight down.

The bright full moon revealed half of its face from the clouds, and at some point on the cornice stood a black silhouette against the wind.The person who came over on the moon put down his flute, with a wild and unrestrained smile on his lips: "Thank you for the banquet, Fengdu welcomes you."

Fengdu Ghost Land is dark all year round, but never daylight.

Pu Xinjiu touched his pale face, and said frankly: "The ghost is too heavy, and the sun cannot shine into the city."

In addition, there are lanterns and festoons throughout the year in Huangquan, and the city is full of shops of all sizes, and the laughter never stops.All the lonely and wild ghosts with a radius of hundreds of miles have settled down in this city, living their lives as before when they were still in the world of the sun.

A clear stream ran across the city, reflecting the dark night and the twinkling stars.On weekdays, there are a few scattered boats scattered along the river, each with a punter on board.They were transformed by drowned ghosts, and after they died, they worked diligently on boats in the ghost domain. Their favorite thing to do was to kick people who couldn't pay the boat fare into the water.They don't need coins for punting, they only need the guests on the boat to tell the happiest story of the day, and only the guests who make the drowned ghost laugh can avoid the ending of being kicked into the water.However, for the first time today, they carried people for free for a day, which surprised many little ghosts who crossed the river.

There was an uninformed little ghost with a face full of disbelief, and questioned: "Drowned ghost, you are not playing with us, are you?"

The ghost who punted the boat put his fat straw hat on his head, and replied in a vicious voice: "Aren't you willing to pick up the pie that fell from the sky? Today, the adults are going to have a wedding, and the ghosts who sell rouge and satin bring their own gifts." I was very excited and ran to watch the excitement, and those of us who can’t go have to do our part.”

All ghosts know that in Fengdu Ghost Domain, "Master" refers to one person in particular.

"What? Your Excellency is getting married?" Someone answered in surprise.

"I'm going to see the bride!"

"And I!"

"I'm going to see the fun too!"

The ghosts who set up stalls on the shore paused at the sound, then quickly grabbed the closest thing to them, swarmed into the boat of the drowned ghost, and started talking about it.

"Go inside a little bit—by the way, why did your lord suddenly get married?"

"When I came back this time, I suddenly said that I would have a wedding - ouch, who squeezed me!"

"Don't step on my foot!"

"Squeeze me again and I'll fall!"

"Who stole the roast duck I brought to adults?"

The drowned ghost couldn't bear it anymore and kicked a kid who was trying to squeeze into the boat into the water, and threatened in a low voice: "If anyone keeps talking and delaying the auspicious time, I will kick him down."

"Li Cheng——" Pu Xin dragged his voice and shouted after drinking the glass of parents' wine toasted by Lanyue Shi after Xie Yan, who could barely express his joy.

Pu Xinjiu, who was rumored to be getting married, changed into a bright red wedding gown, but stood in the matchmaker's place, disappointing the little ghosts who came to watch the ceremony.

Ghost marriage is a normal thing in the ghosts everywhere, so many little ghosts stretched their necks curiously, and poked their heads to look at the people lying in the ice coffin, but they were knocked down by a sudden chestnut on the forehead. Shout out.

"What are you looking around for? Hurry up and get seated." He directed with a mindless frown.

Under the urging of the mindless, all the little ghosts who arrived were drinking and chatting at the special banquet, discussing enthusiastically when their adults will get married, but the three people who were the center of this marriage avoided after the dust fell. After all the hustle and bustle, they lined up like magpies on a branch and sat down on the roof together.

There was a suffocating silence in the air, very different from the beaming under the eaves.

"How can you not drink on the big day?" Pu Xinjiu smiled relaxedly, not knowing where to conjure up a jar of fine wine, "When a woman gets married, she should open a jar of mellow daughter's red wine. In the future, she will definitely... Happiness." He wanted to say that the family was happy, but when he thought of the cold man lying in the hall, he secretly sighed.

Lanyue, who was dressed in red, was as bright as fire, and she was more beautiful than spring flowers, but there was a bit of forced sadness on her overly gorgeous face.Just as she was about to reach out to take it, she felt that a hand in front of her took over the wine jar faster than him.

"Yueshi is about to become a mother. Drinking too much is not good." After saying that, Xie Yan raised his head and drank heavily, and the nectar tasted bitter.

After being silent for a while, Lanyue rolled over the wine jar with a whip, took a few sips, and felt a few tears overflowing from his eyes: "He is dead."

"Although I don't like him, after meeting him with his uncle and aunt in Yincao Difu, I think they should be very satisfied with him." Xie Yan hugged Lanyue's thin shoulders and softly comforted the tearful person : "You still have me. The sky is falling, and your brother is holding it up."

"Brother..." As if the stranded Jiang Liu had found a breakthrough, Lan Yue Shi nestled in Xie Yan's arms and burst into tears, her delicate and gorgeous makeup was washed into a mess.The sound of the wind covered up the whimpering, which was more painful than the sound of water in the stream not far away.

"I'm here." Xie Yan had a rare moment of tenderness, patting Lan Yueshi's back lightly like coaxing a child.

Afterwards, the stamina of the wine picked up, and Lan Yue, who had been sad for several days, fell into a deep sleep.

"Thank you." Xie Yan looked at the stream not far from the city, and the stars reflected in the sky were dazzling.A strand of hair on the front of the forehead was blown to the corner of the mouth by the breeze, and Xie Yan stretched out his hand to fiddle with it.

Pu Xinjiu knew that the words were addressed to himself, so he reached out and took out a pendant that radiated golden light from his bosom.Realizing that he was holding it too tightly, he immediately released it, with a bit of reluctance in his eyes: "This time, I occasionally found that something was wrong with the dragon scale, and then I received a letter from Liu Gudeng, so I asked around for news about you The Daoist said before that this dragon scale is a piece of your soul essence, which should be returned to the original owner, but I always want to keep it by my side for a thought..."

"Then keep it." Xie Yan smiled indifferently, "In such a big city, with so many ghosts, how can you nourish them with your own strength?"

"They are not lonely ghosts, but my family." When Pu Xinjiu said this, his face softened a little.As soon as he lowered his head, he happened to see No Mind holding a jar of wine, hiding in the dark and watching him quietly, wanting to come up to offer wine but not daring to come up to disturb him.

"Then you can use my soul essence to raise it. Anyway, I am born with natural aptitude, so I won't be able to die for a while." Xie Yan concluded.

If Pu Xinjiu himself doesn't care, because his body can absorb ghost energy by itself, it can be used to warm and nourish the ghosts in the city, but if he uses someone else's, will it cause any damage to Xie Yan's body... Pu Xinjiu was tangled frown.

"If you are really ashamed of it—" As if sensing Pu Xinjiu's hesitation, Xie Yan suddenly turned his head and stared seriously at Pu Xinjiu's eyes, and said seriously, "Then tell me, there are people in Fengdu. There is no rumored soul-calling technique?"

Xie Yan's meridians, which were scarred by Fu Shui, were taken back by Pu Xinjiu.While recuperating from his injuries, Xie Yan, who knew nothing about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, had nothing to do, so he began to tinker with flowers and plants.When he raised the fifth pot of flowers, Xie Yan focused on vegetables.

Pu Xinjiu looked at someone who was holding a bowl of garlic and smirking with contempt on his face, and said quietly, "Didn't you have bigu early?"

Just about to open his mouth to refute a few words, Xie Yan suddenly felt that the hem of his clothes tightened, and then an enthusiastic and thoughtless person sprang out from behind.

With a bag of ideas in mind, he wandered around Xie Yan twice, as if he finally mustered up his courage: "Would you like to try carrots?"

"Radish...radish?" Xie Yan choked for breath.

Brainless never heard anything unusual, bragging: "I heard other ghosts say that radishes are easy to feed—"

"Shua—" A white light flashed in front of his eyes, and his head was tilted aside in fright.With one move, Baihong Guanri, the bag in Mindless's hand was split into pieces, and the tiny seeds leaked through the gaps between his fingers, and fell sparsely into the soil.

Unknown why Pu Xinjiu and brainless, one person and one ghost stare at each other.

When Lanyue entered the door, she almost bumped into Xie Yan with a gloomy face. She sighed: "After he accidentally ate a radish, he developed a rash all over his body, and it took two days for him to get better."

"Why do I feel like he's thinking of something like this, and he's angry with others?" Pu Xinjiu muttered.

Lan Yueshi nodded: "Indeed."

Growing up together, Xie Yan frowned and looked at each other, Lan Yueshi could guess what he was thinking.

"miss who?"

Clutching the Baihong in her hand, Lan Yueshi had a sullen face, pursed her lips and stopped talking.

Who else could it be...
