The next day.

It was noon, the sun was shining, the breeze was blowing, the shadows of the trees were stretched, and the weaker imps could only rely on this shade to relieve their discomfort.

"Uh-huh......" the red-haired ghost opened his confused eyes. "It's... Where?"

"Lingmu Mountain. ”

At that moment, two small birds flew up to the tree behind them and began to chirp.

"Ah, Tsukime, I remember that we met a powerful Yin Spirit last night, and you and I were frozen, why are you here..."

"Stupid, you slept all night, and I carried you back. Tsukime bent down and stroked Gollum's hair with his slender fingers.

"Oh... That..."Red hair was about to open his mouth when he was interrupted by Tsukime's words.

"I know what you're asking, what happened last night, it's all true. ”

"That's... How did we get saved? You probably slaughtered that guy, right?" Red Hair frowned, propped up his still numb body with his hands, and looked at Tsukime suspiciously.

"How is it possible, that kind of cultivated yin spirit, let alone slaughtering, it's a blessing to be able to run away. ”

"Hmm?!What's going on?"

Tsukime pinched a handful of dirt at this point, rubbed it into crumbs with her fingers, and let it do its free-fall motion.

"We met a demon last night, and she got rid of the horse. ”

"Oh. Demon, I really haven't seen her, what does she look like?" Red Hair finally sat up on those arms.

"It's very powerful, not only is it in good shape, but it also looks better than our ghosts. ”

"Ah?!!! then why didn't you wake me up!! I feel like I missed a hundred million!"

"Hey, I've called you many times, but you're sleeping like a dead pig, and you can't wake up no matter how you scream. ”

"Uh..."

Redhead was stunned for a moment and said, "What did you do with that horse?

"No, I absorbed it. Tsukime said neatly.

At this moment, a breeze blew by, blowing the singing birds on the branches behind them and flying away.

"What... What? Absorbed by you?"

"Or else, wait until dawn?"

At this moment, Tsukime opened his dark red eyes, but this time, they were noticeably deeper than before.

"Cunning, hmm... It's too cunning. ”

Red hair continued: "Then, isn't your cultivation much higher than before?"

"Well, twice as high. Tsukime pursed the corners of his mouth, and his tone was very disapproving, as if it didn't matter if he sucked it or not.

“......”

"Big brother, be worshiped by the younger brother. The red-haired jokingly hugged his fists to show his admiration.

"Okay, then I'll be patient and accept you as a junior brother!"

"Humph!"

Red Hair calmed down at this point, and he put his hands on the knees of his legs, closed his eyes, and listened to the rustle of leaves.

"Thank you all the way to carry me back, without you, I guess I would have been roasted by the sun. The corners of his mouth curled slightly, and he said serenely.

"By the way, do you know this thing? the horse left over from before it was gone. Tsukime pulled out something that looked like a stone from his pocket, covered in strange patterns, and from above, there was a faint cold aura around the hard guy.

"I don't know, but there's no doubt that it's something of more value. ”

"Why don't you ask Elder Xiu. ”

"Good. ”

“......”

"Hmm... I'll see, well... This must be a deed stone. Xiu Lao played with the beautiful stone in his hand, he would touch the fine lines on it with his hand, and smell the cool air emanating from the stone with his nose.

"Stone?"

"A symbol of the Yin Spirit with the power of contract, injecting your own Yin Qi into it can awaken the spirit of contract. Then he turned his eyes to the fine lines at the bottom of the stone.

"Ahem, ah... Usually cultivating a powerful Yin Spirit wants to exist in this world for a longer time, so it will give birth to such a stone in its body, in case it is destroyed by others one day, so that it can retain its soul. ”

"However, this ability is also limited, and there is a premise that they must absolutely obey the orders of the ghosts who inject yin energy into this stone, so arrogant yin spirits will not have this kind of stone. ”

"Looks like we met a yin spirit that is afraid of death yesterday. Tsukime, you guy, you've really picked up a big bargain this time!" said the red hair and patted Tsukime's shoulder repeatedly.

"But. Elder Xiu continued: "Yuemu, this spirit beast was killed by a demon, right? ”

"Yes. ”

"It's better not to get involved with those demon guys. ”

"Why?"

"Demons and demons have been a race that has not interfered with each other for thousands of years, and they have lived peacefully. Until a few years ago, many powerful demon kings appeared among the demons, and they brutally killed our people, trying to slaughter all our ghosts. ”

"Well, why is that? We should have no conflict of interest with them. ”

"Well, theoretically so, I don't know what the specific reason is. Xiu Lao took his cherished pipe from his pocket and smoked it.

"Hey... I'm also old, and I'll soon be gone, and I don't know why the Netherworld sent me to this yang world to go to the bottom again. ”

"Xiu Lao, you are still young, don't say something that is soulless. The red-haired ghost said loudly.

"Haha, aren't we dead in the first place? ”

“...... That's true, but now we are living in this world in another form, and we still have to cherish life!"

"Haha, yes, yes, it's good that you can think so, young man! After all, people who don't know how to cherish life don't deserve life!"

"Old man, I didn't expect you to say such philosophical things!" Red Hair patted Old Man on the shoulder again.

"Hmph, boy, don't think that I'm just going to nest on this coffin board that doesn't see the sun when I'm an old bone, I know a lot of things in this world. ”

"Oh, isn't it? That's pretty good......"

"Hey, redhead, how long are you going to brag about it? Tsukime on the side really couldn't stand the yin and yang weird tone of the red hair.

"Ahh ”

Tsukime turned to Xiu Lao: "Thank you for telling us so much." ”

Immediately, he slowly bowed to the cultivator.

"Well, don't be so polite! Talking to you kids is just the right way to kill my boring time. Xiu Lao smiled kindly.

Looking at Yuemu, Xiu Lao lowered his head slightly and sighed: "Hey... Since your sister left us, you have become depressed all day long, but I think, your sister must still be alive, just somewhere in this world waiting for you to grow up, and then go to her, at that time, you were too weak, in order to protect your sister was forcibly cursed by the ghost king, I reluctantly sealed this power, but I think, it will not be long before you can control this power yourself. ”

At this time, Xiu Lao smiled again. "In my heart, you have always been a gentle child!"

"I... Not gentle at all. Yuemu stared at the seal mark on the back of his hand, and his expression became more and more frozen.

"Farewell. ”

"Hey, Tsukime, why do you say just go, hey! Then, Xiu Lao, I'm going too! Thank you. ”

"It's okay, it's okay. ”

The figure of the two ghosts gradually disappeared into the rugged mountain road, leaving only the old man sitting on the coffin board. He shook the ash from his pipe, took a puff, and let out white smoke. "Alas, it seems that he has always been haunted by the Yuehua incident. ”

Xiu Lao took a hard puff of his pipe and spat out a smoke ring that was twice as large as before.

"Where did the ghost go after it was gone?"

“......”

"Hey, Tsukime, don't go so fast! The red hair ran to Tsukime's side with some gasp.

"Hey!"

"Red hair. Tsukime stopped suddenly.

"Huh?"

"I'm a, gentle... The ghost?"

"Haha, how is it possible, you are really indifferent!"

"That's right. Tsukime lowered her head and muttered quietly.

"Really, Elder Xiu actually said that you are very gentle, I don't understand it at all!"

Red hair looked at Tsukime expectantly, "Then, then, Tsukime, should we go to Yuhan Mountain to play at night?"

"You really have a soft spot for it!"

"Haha, that's, I'm very worried about the female ghost there, aren't you excited?"

"Not at all. ”

"Haha, freak. Red hair laughed.

"Hey, you're not qualified to talk about anyone else, are you?"

"Are you human?"

"I'd love to use the word 'human,' can't I?"

"Okay, okay, you can call yourself whatever you like, then, at night?"

"I can go as long as I go, but I don't think it's impossible to go during the day. ”

"Alas?... What do you mean?" the red hair was a little confused by Tsukime's words.

"Absorbing that horse's yin energy, um... It was nearly dawn by the time I carried you back to the Garden of Rest, and... When the sun hit my face, I realized that the burning sensation was gone. ”

"What, what, is that horse so strong? I know, I know, ah!!!!! red-haired, why don't you have such good luck. ”

"Try to improve yourself, stupid. ”

"Humph!!"

"I'm going to go to the human world now, aren't you going to take a look?" Tsukime turned his head and teased as he stared at the redhead with his dark red eyes.

"Kill you!!" Redhead growled.

"Well, you can't go. Tsukime hurriedly dodged Red Hair's punch and ran to the intersection.

"It's not cute at all. Even the sarcastic expression is so indifferent. The redhead shouted cross-legged.

"Goodbye. ”

Tsukime turned around, waved his hand with his back to Chi, and walked down the mountain.

"Hmph, nasty guy. ”
