Drink flowers and not get drunk by the railing, and think about people in the wind and moon with a glass of wine. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info

――――――――――――――――――――

The new capital of the ghost was built on the mountain of monsters.

Countless tall wooden pillars, painted vermilion, support the winding cloisters.

In the place separated by the cloister, there are pavilions and long bridges, which rise and fall along the mountain, with the palace of the ghost king on the top of the mountain as the center, radiating in all directions.

This complex and undulating complex is a combination of the whims of the kappa and the exquisite craftsmanship of the tengus, and it is a testament to the rugged and beautiful spirit of the oni clan.

Tonight, the full moon is shining brightly, and under the light sky, it is time for the ghost clan to hold a banquet again.

The ghost capital was lit up with bright yellow lights, and rough and charming songs sounded everywhere.

The air was filled with the smell of wine, and the rich and intoxicating sweetness seemed to condense and drip at any time, so that many drunken ghosts kept sticking their tongues into the air, eager for another kiss of the fragrance of the wine.

The demons enjoyed the carnival, drinking and dancing wildly, fighting each other without scruples, and fighting in the streets with recklessness.

At this crazy dinner party, the ghosts enjoyed the unimaginable pride of ordinary people, of course, the pleasure brought by this free and easy, probably only this group of aliens can understand!

In short, this lively jubilation seems to permeate every corner of the entire ghost capital.

However, there are always exceptions, and the small pavilion located next to the palace is such an exceptional place.

There was no fire, no noise, only a faint moonlight and a slight mountain breeze, and it was as peaceful as if you were in another world.

Staying alone in the pavilion is the ghost king of this new capital, Xingxiong Yongyi.

She wears a wide crimson kimono and small, delicate white cotton socks. This was supposed to be a ladylike attire, but her movements were not half elegant.

One leg is cross-legged on the bench, and the other leg dangles in mid-air. Lying on the railing, the slender figure stretched out the arms like jade lotus to the sides, one on the wooden railing, and the other holding a large bowl of wine steadily.

Her posture was so bold that her clothes were disheveled by her stretched limbs, and the brilliant crimson silk, like flags fluttering in the wind, and like petals falling down one after another, scattered in the air, scattered on the benches, revealing large swaths of snow-white skin.

But she didn't care, because this was her own garden, her own garden, and no ghost dared to trespass.

With his back to the pavilion, behind Yongyi was a halo of sparkling dinner. The shadows of the flowers under the moon moved in the pale silver, and when the wind blew her long hair up and down, the soft golden tassels were like a river, undulating, tumbling, and shining, and it seemed that even the laughter and laughter of prosperity flowed out of this dazzling river.

Well...... Of course, this is just an illusion, but from another point of view, such an illusion is not unreasonable, if there is no power of the ghost king, then this ghost city should naturally not exist, and the displaced ghost tribes should be there to force laughter and sing sadly?

However, as the patron and ruler of the city, Yongyi didn't pay attention to the carnival behind her, she just looked up at her beautiful face and looked at the bright full moon for a long time.

Perhaps, even the little red leaves that rippled on the wine like a boat and were blown down by the breeze, she didn't notice it!

Is it that she really can't perceive? No, she just didn't want to notice.

Because the full moon with thin clouds brings the illusion of the distant past. Bold ghosts are rarely willing to recall the past, they like to grasp every moment of the present more than everything that has passed, and even more so for Yongyi, the past time is too beautiful, and the reality is too cruel, she doesn't like such a sad contrast.

Therefore, for this unconsciously overflowing memory, she is even more reluctant to wake up, she just wants the soft evening breeze to blow ripples for her scarlet eyes.

"The moonlight tonight is beautiful! "In the silent pavilion, a strange female voice suddenly sounded, and the charming and mysterious tone was definitely not Yongyi's style of speaking, so—

Who is it?

The peaceful solitude was interrupted, but Yongyi was not annoyed, she looked at the place where the female voice came from.

There, the cloud sleeves of the moon are intertwined with the hem of the night's clothes, and the faint shadows of the trees are like brushes sweeping ink, drawing an ethereal light smoke in the pavilion. This is a natural and wonderful brush, but in the faint mid-air, there is a strange thing that tears the picture scroll out of thin air.

It was a crack darker than the night, dotted with eerie and dangerous vertical pupils.

"What...... It's Brother Zhibei's sister......" A smile appeared on the corner of Yongyi's mouth, and he said clearly.

"Long time no see, Yongyi!" The crack had disappeared, and standing there was a girl with blonde hair, also wearing a purple kimono and holding a folding fan depicting flowers, plants, insects, and fish. Looking at the marked demonic smile on her face, this is the monster of the realm-Yakumo Murasaki.

Yongyi looked at Yakumo Zi who was gently shaking the folding fan, and then glanced at the wine that was holding smoothly in her hand, and then she found the naughty leaf, she didn't care, just shook her head slightly, and put the big bowl of wine into her mouth.

Drink it all.

The wine glass was empty and only moonlight remained, no, there was a small leaf sinking to the bottom of the glass, Yongyi gently shook the red leaves from the bottom of the bowl, and then filled it with the wine jar next to her, she handed the full cup to Yakumo Murasaki, and said with a smile:

"Don't you have a drink with a friend from afar?"

Yakumo Zi smiled, she took two steps closer, took the wine glass, and said, "Seeing you sitting here so lonely, I'll have a few drinks with you!" ”

Purple touched her cherry lips to the dark red glass, and emptied the glass gracefully and magnificently.

"Yongyi, isn't it a rare ghost banquet today? What kind of thoughts did you have in mind to drink alone under the moon in this pavilion? After drinking, Zi asked.

"Huh...... Today's ghost clan is different from the past, it is no longer a simple wine village, in the passage of time, it has become arrogant, greedy, impetuous, I hate such a ghost clan, I hate such a wine banquet, and I hate myself who will fall into memories in such a light. Yongyi smiled bitterly and said.

"Arara...... It's terrible that such words come out of the mouth of the ghost king! Purple touched her lips with a fan and said in a relaxed tone.

Yongyi looked at Zi's clear eyes and covered expression, and said, "Zi! Actually, I hate your smile! That mask-like smile is disgusting! If it weren't for the fact that you were 'sister', I would have been unable to scold you! ”

"Then why didn't you scold me today?" Purple asked with a chuckle.

"Because I saw through your heart for the first time today, how about this answer?" Having filled himself with a glass, the Ghost King said, "Your past teasing has been unpleasant, because there is always malice in those frivolous words. But I believe it's only because grief overwhelms your heart, like cold snow burying life, right? ”

"Well...... Sort of! Purple waved her fan to the side, pretending to be indifferent.

"However, your current joke is full of kindness, what's the matter, even the smile is no longer disguised? Purple, what good things happened to you? Yongyi stared at the realm monster looking left and right with blazing eyes and asked.

"Oops! Hehe...... "Zi finally couldn't help it, and laughed out loud, that innocent smile was like a crescent moon, and there was no longer a little bewitching and weird, "You found out so fast!" Yongyi, I have good news and bad news here, which one do you want to hear first? ”

"Really, there's bad news, but you're so happy to laugh! So, let me hear the bad news first! ”

"But I want to start with the good news!" Zi paused and said, "You know what? Yongyi, Brother Zhibei! My brother, he is resurrected!! ”

"Resurrected? Really? Yongyi was a little stunned, she couldn't accept this exciting news for a while, "Zi, don't be deceived, there are still immortals in this world who can take away!" ”

"It's true! I've confirmed it from all sides, and besides, I don't believe that anyone in this world can break through my barrier! ”

"Really...... Is this true? Is it true? Yes! That's great! That's great! Yongyi stared blankly at the full moon reflected on the wine, muttering and repeating, when suddenly, a drop of rain fell from the sky out of nowhere, stirring up a circle of ripples on the bright silver water.

"Are you crying, Yongyi?" Purple smiled softly and asked cautiously.

"Nope! It's just that the moonlight is too dazzling! Yongyi rubbed her eyes and said, "So...... The bad news? ”

"Hmm...... The bad news is this, my brother he was resurrected by a mysterious force in another corner of this world, I searched for a long time, but I didn't find him. ”

"What! You want to sneak away! 'Sister'! Because you failed, did you come to me for help? ”

"Ahh That's right! I know that I may not be able to find my brother for a long time on my own, so I came to you! ”

'Really!' 'Sister' is 'sister', and I still need the help of my eldest sister! Yongyi laughed, took a big sip of wine, and exclaimed, "Ah! This mellow aroma of wine is finally a little intoxicating! Purple! It's been a long time since I've been drunk, so ...... Let's get drunk tonight! ”

"Good! Just follow what your 'big sister' said! The ever-seventeen-year-old girl smiled with satisfaction. (laughs)
