Tonight, the full moon is good. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

A large bonfire was lit in the clearing, men and women sat around, and the man who had untied his handkerchief during the day called the woman's name, singing a young but gentle song, and if they liked each other, they took hands and went to the stream to put lanterns together, and from then on they grew old together and paid for this life.

Su Jin sat under a peach tree and drank from afar, watching a couple of beloved people finally become married, he was a little bored in his heart, but he was reluctant to walk away. Jiuyu lay on the low peach branch, her hanging tail wagging and sweeping over Su Jin's cheeks.

Master Su didn't drink well, and the wine was not good, so after a while, he got drunk. Standing up with the wine jar, shaking his head and chanting: "The road is a good scenery in the south of the Yangtze River, and the silver hook draws the waist of Xiao Qiao." Thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, not as beautiful as a beauty... The peach is red, the moon is full, and the concubine sleeps alone. Ask Lang Jun, why don't you come to undress, the moon is not full. Jiuyu is helpless, this lewd scholar, what kind of obscene words and songs are in his head. glanced back, but saw Su Jin staggering out a long distance, holding a big tree and turning around, shouting: "Beauty..." Jiuyu hurriedly jumped off the tree and followed, for fear that he would accidentally fall into the stream and become a ghost scholar.

Su Jin walked forward, and saw that the lanterns on the trees were lit up one after another, illuminating the entire forest, and he remembered the custom of putting lanterns here. Hands and feet climbed to the tree to pick up a lamp, and ran to the edge of the stream with it, this scholar was drunk, and he ran really fast, Jiuyu chased hard behind, and wanted to cry without tears.

When he came to the stream, he stared at the stream for a while, Su Jin took out a dagger and engraved the words "Su Jin" seriously: "If you and I are engraved with our names, can we also grow old together?" Turned the lantern around, it's time to engrave the name of the beauty, Su Jin grinned, but it was more ugly than crying, where did he know the name of the beauty.

After a while, Su Jin's wine woke up a little, and when he raised his eyes, he saw Jiuyu following him, and the black fox's eyes were round: "Just engrave the name of the snowball, it's good to have a fox with me." With a wave of his hand, he engraved the word snowball on it. Jiuyu pursed his lips, hum, it's not the master's name anyway.

Su Jin put the lantern into the water, watched the lantern drift away, turned around and picked up the little fox on the ground, and prepared to go back. Jiuyu was afraid that he would fall to death, so he struggled a few times, but gave up before he could break free.

After walking in the forest for a long time, he still didn't arrive at the village, looking at the peach trees around him that were almost the same, Su Jin was a little anxious, it is said that the stream is not far from the village, he could still see the burning bonfire when he was by the stream just now, why did he walk for so long, and still didn't arrive?

The more anxious and chaotic, Su Jin ran in the forest, but no matter how he ran, he couldn't run out of this forest, and then he couldn't run, Su Jin sat on the ground panting with Jiuyu in his arms.

"Little doll, who are you? How did you get here? Su Jin was startled, looked for prestige, and saw that it was a young man in his twenties, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, wearing a long robe, leaning under a peach tree, looking at him with no expression.

"Ah, this son, what kind of place is this, I can't get out." Su Jin saw that he didn't look like a villager, so he called him a son.

"This is a maze, in the depths of the peach blossoms, it's normal that you can't get out." After speaking, the man lowered his head and did not look at him.

Su Jinjiu woke up most of the time, and when he saw the man alone in this deserted and remote place, he couldn't help but be a little scared: "You...... Who is it? Three watches are here alone in the middle of the night, you won't be a monster, right? ”

The man suddenly smiled when he heard this: "Monster? To tell you the truth, I'm not a monster, but he's a monster hunter. Ordinary people can't enter this maze, so I'll catch you to see if it's a demon! ”

Before the words fell, the man suddenly burst out, and he didn't see how to move, and instantly came to Su Jin, who threw the little fox far away: "Run!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he felt a sore throat, difficulty breathing, and his neck was tightly clasped. The man stared at Su Jin's pale face, and secretly said strangely, this person can enter the maze he set up, but there is not a trace of demonic energy on his body, but he is full of spiritual power, isn't it a demon?

Just when Su Jin was about to suffocate, the man suddenly withdrew his hand, Su Jin fell on the ground and coughed lightly, gasping for breath for a while, the little fox ran back again, blocked in front of Su Jin, glared at the man fiercely, and made a gurgling sound in his mouth, warning the man not to approach.

"Heh, you're still a little fox who protects the master, although you have spirituality, you can't transform into a human form, and you're not a demon, and he's not, I won't embarrass you." After speaking, the man turned around and walked slowly back to the bottom of the tree, and continued to sit in a trance.

Breathing gradually stabilized, Su Jin raised his head, only to find that the peach tree behind the man was a little unusual, the peach blossoms in this forest were all pink, and the darkest color was not rose, but on the peach tree, there were blood-red peach blossoms, and the petals were also multi-layered.

Su Jin felt that the atmosphere here was really weird, he wanted to leave here quickly, and suddenly remembered something: "Childe, you said you are a demon hunter?" Is it a warlock? ”

"Warlocks? So to speak, how? The man's thin lips pursed slightly, and his expression was indifferent.

Ha, there is nowhere to find the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get them. Unexpectedly, in this countryside and field, there are people outside the world. Su Jin forgot about being afraid, and gave the man a deep bow: "Childe, I can't hide it, when I left home this time, I came out to look for a warlock." In the next family living in Woshan City, because there are monsters in the house, I am afraid of hurting the lives of my family, so I came out to find a warlock to eliminate demons. I wonder if Childe can help with this?"

"Woshan City? What is it? I've never heard of it. The man frowned, he had traveled for many years, and he didn't know how many large and small cities he had walked, but he had never heard of any Lying Mountain City.

Su Jin scratched his head: "Well, Woshan City is on the north side of this mountain, and it is more than ten days away. Supposedly, it's not far off. ”

"Impossible, I've been to the north, it's all snow-capped mountains, and there is absolutely no city." The man denied.

"Childe, you will know if you go with me, it may be a trick of the monster. So ordinary people can't see it. Su Jin remembered the honey-like canopy and explained to the man.

"Heh, little doll, are you an ordinary person to me?" The man snorted coldly.

"No, no, no, I don't compare you to a mere mortal. I'd like to ask for your help in getting rid of the demons. Besides, Childe looks only a few years older than the next year, how can he call the little doll?" Such a title made Su Jin feel that he was being underestimated.

"Hehe, how old are you, do you know how old I am? Do you know how many years I've been here?" The man raised his hand to catch a peach petal falling from the sky.

The fingertips rubbed the bright red in his hand, and the man's expression was rare and gentle: "I, my name is Qingmo, nearly 3,000 years old, I was originally a demon hunter, and I traveled through famous mountains and rivers. Later, I stayed here for a thousand years. ”

Su Jin listened dumbfounded, suddenly screamed, picked up Jiuyu's tail and carried it on his shoulder and fled. A cool voice came from my ears: "I won't kill you, what are you running, stop me!"

Su Jin was immediately fixed, and he kept shouting: "You don't lie to me, what kind of demon hunter, you have lived for three thousand years, what is not an old monster?"

Qingmo chuckled: "Rare and weird!" Do you think only youkai can live that long? Little doll, there are many things you haven't seen in this world!"

"In my maze, no one has come for a long time, which makes me so lonely. Since you're here, talk to me. Do you want to know anything about me?" Su Jin wanted to shake his head, I don't want to know at all, you let me go quickly.

Qingmo picked up the wine brought by Su Jin from the ground, sat cross-legged under the tree, and raised his head and poured a few sips: "What are you talking about, let's talk about this demon hunter!"
