Chapter 43: The Legend of the Rain
The dark sky is full of clouds, and it is a unique view of the Netherworld.
was chased by Xiao Xun and rushed into the Netherworld, and before Xiaoying had time to think about the situation in front of him, he was drenched in a shower of soup chickens.
Looking at the "pedestrian" in front of him who seemed to be fine, Xiaoying stayed on the spot in surprise.
It's Xiao Xun who came after him, and when he saw this situation, he also made the same action as Xiaoying.
"This ...... What's going on? Although it was redundant, Xiao Xun couldn't help but ask.
Hearing this, Xiaoying suddenly woke up, and after automatically replaying the rainy day in the cemetery in her mind, she calmly explained: "It rains in Netherworld, and the residents who have lived in the city for a long time must have been familiar with rainy days. ”
"Is there a way to stop the rain?" Xiao Xun touched the rain on his face and asked a little irritably.
No matter who it is, after being drenched in the rain, there will be no good mood, not to mention that in the bottom of Xiaoxun's heart, he has always resisted the days of wind and rain.
Shaking his head, Xiaoying said with a rare seriousness: "The rain in Netherworld is naturally formed, and you want to stop it, unless you have the ability to defy the sky." ”
Of course, there is another point, although it is only a legend, Xiaoying has always believed in it.
It was a boring day, and the ghost king came to chat with Xiaoying because several ladies were not around, and that time, Xiaoying found the opportunity to let the ghost tell a story, and at that time, the ghost king told the legend about the rain in the Netherworld.
The Netherworld is the first city established by the Seven Cities, and according to legend, it was born in ancient times when this continent was called "Xuanfen", at that time, the Netherworld was at the junction of the four countries on the continent, and it included the souls of all the people who died in vain, but excluded the souls of love in their hearts.
Originally, the mode of Netherworld would continue, but because of the appearance of time-space anomalies, the magicians in the modern Seven Cities were summoned by the summoners of the Xuanfen Continent, and the divine sword and magic sword that belonged to that period were confronted, and the Netherworld City at that time was moved to the ground.
The souls living in the city fled in all directions, and Jiang Ji, who had the name of divine calculation, should have shouldered the responsibility of capturing the fleeing spirits, but because of his own private affairs, he delayed the good time of the seal, and later in order to make up for his mistake, his lover was willing to incarnate into the city and imprison those souls for eternity.
It's just that Jiang Ji and his lover have a special identity, and after Jiang Ji became a god, this matter has completely become a legend, but what his lover said before he died was left on the stone tablet in front of the city lord's mansion.
Xiaoying's memory has always been not very good, and at this moment, Xiao Xun waited expectantly for her to say those words, but Xiaoying frowned and scratched her head, unable to remember what the ghost king told her at the beginning.
"What did that man say when he was dying, you should say it quickly!" Anxious to know the most critical words, Xiao Xun seemed to forget that he was still in the rain.
was urged by her, Xiaoying's thinking was completely confused, and the more she tried to remember, the more she couldn't remember.
The man who was planning to leave the muddy place saw Xiaoying's anxious appearance, so he had to tell her.
Hearing his voice, Xiaoying immediately opened his mouth and repeated: "He said, I would like to turn the city into a city for the spirits to live, and I only ask you to wait for the obsession to turn into rain and paint a unique scenery for the people in your heart." ”
"This ...... What do you mean? Xiao Xun blinked, expressing doubt.
Xiaoying, who also didn't know much, didn't have his own opinions, so he had to copy the original Ghost King's explanation: "The rain in the Netherworld, every drop is an obsession of the spirit." ”
Nodding as if she didn't understand, Xiao Xun looked up, the raindrops that washed down made her unable to open her eyes, she naturally couldn't feel the obsession contained in the raindrops, plus the soaked clothes stuck to her body, the uncomfortable feeling directly made her angry.
After looking around, he didn't find anything to vent, so Xiao Xun had to drag Xiaoying to find a place to shelter from the rain.
Coincidentally, there is a tavern not far from their left-hand side, along the way, almost every time Xiaoying rests is a tavern, Xiaoxun mistakenly thinks that Xiaoying likes to drink, and now when he sees the tavern, he naturally wants to pull Xiaoying over.
Seeing that she couldn't stop it, Xiaoying had no choice but to let her pull it.
Unfortunately, when they stepped into the tavern, a black shadow flew in front of them, and with Xiao Xun's strength, she could easily dodge away, but she didn't have time to remind Xiao Ying, and when Xiao Ying realized it, the black shadow had already hit her hard, and used her as a backing, avoiding the intimate call of the earth.
After making sure that there was no danger, Xiao Xun ran over in a panic to investigate the situation, and after Liuli's eyes touched Xiaoying's distorted expression, she covered her mouth with her hand in horror to prevent herself from screaming.
"Hey, why is the ground so soft today? When did the hostess change the floor. The "black shadow", who was still unaware, scratched his head suspiciously, and then got up with a calm expression in front of everyone's eyes, as if it was a normal thing for him to be thrown out.
"I said......" Xiaoying said weakly: "You can get up, why do you have to step on me when you get up?" ”
Xiaoying thought, this kid has a problem with his head, stepping on someone else's body and thinking that he is stepping on the floor, the fire that originally ignited in his stomach turned into nothingness because of his stupidity.
Hearing Xiaoying's voice, the child subconsciously lowered his head, and after discovering the truth, he fell to the ground in a panic, and he stepped back again, Xiaoying took the opportunity to get up, and wanted to reach out to pull him up, but her hand was stretched out, and the child stumbled out.
Not wanting to get drenched in the rain back on the street, Xiaoying glanced at Xiaoxun and motioned for her to find a place to sit down.
I don't know if the proprietress of this tavern is addicted to people, so she threw away the child, and took a broom to drive away the guests on the table next to Xiaoying.
Unable to see this kind of thing, Xiao Xun stopped between the proprietress and the guests in the empty time when the proprietress waved the broom.
"How can there be a reason to drive customers in business?" Xiao Xun's domineering accusations.
The proprietress glanced at her, used the broom as a crutch to support her arm, and then pointed at Xiao Xun, and said, "Girl, don't worry about my business, or I will let you never get out of the Netherworld." ”
"Fat woman, you are afraid of you!" Xiao Xun is arrogant and will never tolerate other people's threats, but the proprietress has committed this taboo.
It's just that although the boss's body is huge, it is too much to call the fat woman, not to mention that she has always hated others mentioning her figure in front of her, originally she thought that Xiao Xun was a child and didn't care about her, but now Xiao Xun is disrespectful, she is naturally angry.
Picking up the broom, the proprietress waved it unceremoniously to Xiao Xun, knowing that Xiao Xun's arrogance would not allow her to avoid it now, Xiao Ying had to pull Xiao Xun into her arms by herself.
"What are you doing, let me go." Stuffed in Xiaoying's arms, Xiaoxun struggled restlessly.
Tightly locking his eyebrows, Xiaoying scolded in a low voice: "This is the Netherworld, not your home." ”
You want to be presumptuous here, unless you really don't want to live.
"Who are you?" Seeing Xiaoying protecting Xiaoxun, the proprietress stared at her fiercely.
With a pouting mouth, Xiaoying said helplessly: "It's not anyone, but she came with me, and I need to let her out alive." ”
"Really? But I think your strength is not as strong as this girl. A sarcastic reminder from the hostess.
was said by her, Xiaoying stretched her brows, she could see that her strength was not as good as Xiao Xun, naturally she was the one who could see Xiao Xun's strength, under the teaching of Yan Lao, Xiao Xun was really desperate and considered a master, so it seems that the boss lady in front of her should be a master among the masters.
"Strength is not everything."
"But I don't see anything else in you that can keep you safe." The proprietress glanced at the shadow, completely defeated by her cheap dress.
"What can keep you safe will inevitably lead to trouble, isn't it an act of death to take it out casually?" Xiaoying asked rhetorically without humility or arrogance.
glanced at her with a little meaning, the proprietress pointed at the guests who had been driven away before, and asked Xiao Xun in a bad tone: "Girl, why did you stop me just now?" When you come to Netherworld, you should know that if you dare to complain about the rain in the city, you must be prepared to starve to death in the streets. ”
"Did he complain about the rain in Netherworld?" After Xiaoying understood what was going on, she asked in surprise.
The proprietress nodded, Xiaoying immediately looked at Xiao Xun, shook her head in a panic, and Xiao Xun said aggrievedly: "I don't know." ”
"Then remember, don't just save people in the future." Xiaoying didn't have an angry warning.
Thinking about it carefully, she felt that this warning was very redundant, Yan Lao's master had already taught Xiao Xun to be a butcher, how could he teach Xiao Xun to save people.
The reason why Xiao Xun made an abnormal move today is mostly because of her arrogance and can't get used to other people's more arrogant behavior than her.
Although she knew that Xiaoying was talking nonsense, Xiao Xun still nodded obediently, and then without waiting for Xiaoying to command, she turned around and apologized to the proprietress: "I'm sorry, I didn't figure out the situation just now, please forgive me." ”
What the proprietress saw just now was the domineering Xiao Xun, and now Xiao Xun's aggrieved appearance made her can't help but soften her heart.
Just think about it, how could a woman of her age deal with such a beautiful girl as Xiao Xun, and now Xiao Xun apologized, not only obtained her forgiveness, but she also specially asked Xiao Er to bring Xiao Xun a few pastries.
By the time the drinks and dishes ordered by Xiaoying were served, the proprietress had already driven away the guest who complained about the rain, and Xiao Xun, who was attracted by the pastries, naturally did not find out about it.
also chose to ignore the guest who was driven away, Xiaoying knocked on the plate containing the pastries, intentionally or unintentionally, and said jokingly: "It seems that your face is quite popular." ”
"Really?" Stuffed with pastries in his mouth, Xiao Xun said a little vaguely: "I like your face more, round and cute, and you are definitely more popular than me." ”
"......" Xiaoying's face was full of black lines.
Expecting her reaction, Xiao Xun chewed the food in her mouth desperately, and it was not until she swallowed it hard that she gasped and said, "Don't believe it, the current era is better than beauty." ”
"Really?"
"I vouch for my personality!" Xiao Xun patted his chest.
With a smile, Xiaoying reached out to ruffle her hair, and then kindly reminded: "In my eyes, you have always had no personality." ”
"You don't have a personality!" Xiao Xun angrily slapped Xiaoying's hand away.
When she realized what she had said, she suddenly remembered that Xiaoying was a resentful spirit, and from the beginning, she had a ghost personality, so naturally she could not have a personality.
