【Extra: Dream Bowl】(5)
A hundred years ago, there was a python and a bright moon, which fell into the world without permission, causing chaos in the world.
The heavenly realm sent the god of war Canghai to fight with him for three days, and the sea made the spiritual rain extinguish the fire around the python, scattered its soul in the desolate land, and abandoned its body in the chaotic realm of the demon immortal exile land. However, although he lost his soul, the python's divine power was not lost, and his body floated in the chaotic realm for a while, and then gathered the resentment of the chaotic realm and turned into a python demon corpse.
This demon corpse has the divine power of a python, and its ability is not inferior to that of Tianlong, Yinglong. However, there is no life in his body, he is immortal, and immortal, and is rejected by the Three Realms of Heaven, Earth and Demon from the six realms of sentient beings. In the Three Realms, he uses resentment as his strength, and feeds on the soul and blood of immortals, demons, and demons. Wandering, displaced.
Ignoring Meng Xiaowan's ugly face, the old woman continued to speak: "The demon corpse is lifeless, and the fairies, demons, demons, and ghosts have no name, and there should be no queen." If someone is pregnant with a child of a demon corpse, this fetus must be the fetus of the heavens and the earth, and the fairies, demons, people, ghosts, and animals can be punished. If the woman who was pregnant with the child wanted to be safe, she had to leave the child behind. ”
The more she listened, the more wrong she became, and Meng Xiaowan said goodbye. I didn't even ask for a bowl, I turned around and went back to the house.
A vicious light suddenly flashed in the eyes of the old woman behind her, and her right hand turned into a pair of fluffy claws, grabbing Meng Xiaowan's waist. At the moment when she approached the door frame, white smoke like fire came out of her fingertips, and the pain made the old woman quickly retract her hand.
At this moment, a hand stretched out from the side and grabbed the old woman's neck. In an instant, the old woman's body was wrapped in a black flame. She didn't even snort, and her figure suddenly dispersed.
Hearing that there was no sound behind her for some reason, Meng Xiaowan turned her head to look, where is there still the shadow of the old woman? Only Mingyue stood at the door with a pile of mountain goods on her back, carrying a whole silver-gray fox skin with four tails on it.
"Why are the Hun family standing at the door?" The tone was still so gentle, and the words seemed to be inquiry, but there was a hint of reproach in the middle.
In a trance, I saw a trace of heat bubbling from the fox's skin. Meng Xiaowan took a step back: "I'll be careful next time." ”
Mingyue used that fox skin to make a fluffy scarf for Meng Xiaowan, but Meng Xiaowan never wore it, and kept it in the clothes box, and she didn't even dare to look at it. She had less of a smile on her lips and less of a conversation.
Mingyue didn't seem to notice the change in his wife, maybe he didn't have the energy to notice it at all. He was very busy, busy moving food and clothing to the courtyard, and digging a well in the courtyard. Busy with tadpole-like runes in every corner of the roof beams, busy reinforcing the cinnabar nets on the roof......
I don't know why, his spirit is getting worse and worse, and his once sparkling eyes are slowly dimming. He is often in a daze, often sitting in the corner between housework, his eyes are half-open and half-closed, as if he is asleep. Once when he was cooking, he was stunned with a spatula, until black smoke came out of the pot.
Women are much more sensitive than men, Mingyue didn't notice the change in Meng Xiaowan, but Meng Xiaowan clearly saw what Mingyue was doing. There are many doubts in my heart, and the person next to the pillow never explains. Meng Xiaowan was exhausted and depressed.
One night she suddenly had a dream.
In the dream, she was dressed in a pure white green radish gauze robe, sitting sideways on the thick back of a large golden snake, winding upwards in the deep and shallow clouds. Slowly, the clouds became brighter and brighter, and a bright light appeared above them, getting brighter and brighter......
Finally, like a dragon out of the water, the serpent jumped through the clouds with her.
Suddenly, my eyes suddenly opened up.
A vast sea of clouds is constantly rolling, like the sea and waves, one after another. At the far end of the sea of clouds, a red sun jumped out of the clouds, and everything shone brightly, precipitating all the turbidity in the world.
The big snake under him slowly spread out a pair of wings more than ten zhang wide, golden and dazzling. Raising his head slightly, he said softly: "Rose, this is the warmest sunshine above the nine heavens." ”
Meng Xiaowan dreamed that she carefully stood up from the back of the big snake, followed its example, spread her arms, and let the long dress fly freely in the air.
A man and a snake are quietly suspended above the clouds......
When I woke up from my dream, my body was still warm, as if I was still bathed in warm sunshine. But it was dark in front of me, and the thunder outside the house was one after another, and the fierce wind whimpered and screamed like a wolf......
"Husband, I'm scared ......," she whispered.
The person next to him didn't respond, and he didn't even smell his breath. She reached out to the side and touched it, only to touch the cold futon, and Mingyue was not there.
He put on his clothes and got out of bed with his waist up, lit the oil lamp and walked to the outhouse, but there was no shadow of the bright moon. Outside the house, lightning and thunder roared, and the wind swept the branches and leaves on the doors and windows, and the whole house trembled. With this kind of ghost weather, Mingyue won't go out, right?
She thought for a moment, walked to the window and pulled the bolt, and the oil lamp was blown out by the wind.
The thunderstorm rolled in the clouds tightly and loosely, and the rumbling thunderclap could not help but make people thrilled. Dazzling fires and bursts of purple electricity shimmered through the clouds, tearing at the inky black night sky.
Suddenly, a golden light fell from the clouds like a sharp sword, and landed on the high wooden fence next to the courtyard, turning into a human form.
Pure without a trace of variegated silver long hair, golden yellow moire dress.
A pair of clear purple eyes, a little diamond-shaped cinnabar at the center of the eyebrows.
Standing under the inky black sky, dazzling like a light, and like a fairy who does not eat fireworks in the world, he just raised his hair like a ball of flames in all directions, and his body was also wrapped in a layer of light black flames, and the demonic aura was soaring.
Looking at her strange husband, Meng Xiaowan tightly covered her mouth.
Seeing her, Mingyue moved her lips slightly, as if she wanted to say something to her. At this moment, a ball of fire slammed down from the sky in the distance towards the bamboo building, and when it flew closer, Meng Xiaowan realized that it was a strange bird. Three legs, bulging face, and hideous expression. Wrapped in raging flames, his pointed mouth let out a childlike howl: "Ahhh......h
said that it was too late, and then it was too fast, Mingyue jumped up and flew up in the air, and greeted the firebird. I couldn't see how the two sides were fighting, because as soon as they made contact, the blinding light exploded from both sides, and the dark night was brightened.
Meng Xiaowan was so shaken by the light that she immediately closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, she saw another firebird rushing down towards the bamboo building from the other direction. It was so fast that Meng Xiaowan almost didn't have time to react, and flew over the courtyard in the blink of an eye. The fiery wind kept spitting from the bird's beak, blowing the whole bamboo building squeaked.
With a big belly, it's too late to escape, and it's too late to hide. I'm going to die, Meng Xiaowan thought to herself.
At the last moment, a huge golden snake tail flung over from the side, wrapped around the firebird's neck and dragged it back violently, instantly tearing the firebird away from the top of the bamboo building. The serpent's upper body was still in the air, entwining and biting with another firebird. The golden wings of the snake and the flaming red wings of the firebird were entwined, setting off a huge whirlwind, and the wind and sand were scattered......
After all, people are people, and they are incomparably small before the earth-shaking battle between monsters, and Meng Xiaowan doesn't dare to look at it anymore. She leaned back to the bed and sat down, listening to the thunder in the sky and the howling of ghosts and wolves. A heart goes up and down, and it trembles with its arms folded.
In the second half of the night, the wind finally lightened, and Mingyue pushed open the door and came back. is still wearing a short black shirt made by Meng Xiaowan, no longer the appearance of yellow clothes and white hair just now. The clothes were dripping with water, as if they had just been washed in water, but there was still a faint smell of blood on his body that could not be concealed. As if he was afraid of something, he stood at the door of the bedroom like that, staring at his wife beside the bed with a pair of purple eyes burning through the darkness that could not be dissolved in the room.
Meng Xiaowan got up and walked over quickly, threw herself into his cold arms, and wrapped her arms around his chest and didn't let go.
"I'm ...... cold," Mingyue wanted to push her away.
But she didn't let go: "Husband, let's not have this child." ”
Mingyue's body stiffened, and after a while, she raised her hand and gently stroked her hair: "But he is our child, as a parent, how can he not protect the child?" ”
Meng Xiaowan's nose was sour: "Husband......"
She was reluctant to let this child go, but when she heard Mingyue fighting with other monsters outside the house, she was afraid that Mingyue would be killed by other monsters......
After a while, the hoarse voice sounded again: "Hun family, if you separate, don't forget my ......"
How could you forget him? Meng Xiaowan's tears poured out: "I am with you in life and death, how can I forget you?" ”
No matter whether Mingyue is a human or a demon corpse, she has to be with him and never be separated......
was crying with tears in her eyes, Mingyue suddenly looked out of the window vigilantly: "Hun family, I'll go out, you sleep ...... first" didn't have time to say more, and turned around and went out again.
Meng Xiaowan began to learn to cook by herself, do her own laundry, and boil water to soak her feet. Just so that Mingyue can sit quietly in the corner and rest.
At night she curled up under the covers and tried to fall asleep alone, trying not to listen to the sound of the sky cracking outside. But he never slept well, and he could only sleep for a while when Mingyue returned to the house safely. Eating and sleeping badly, people are losing weight day by day, but her children are growing up rapidly. However, as the children grew up, the weather got worse and worse.
When the child was nine months old, the sky never cleared again. During the day, thick layers of black clouds also gathered in the sky, pressing extremely low, as if standing on the roof of a building could tear a piece down. Lightning waved in the clouds, one here, one there. From time to time, the electric light licked the roof of the bamboo building, or tried to tear the cinnabar net above the house, which was very scary. So Mingyue simply moved a chair to the middle of the courtyard, and sat there upright both day and night, looking coldly at the dark clouds in the sky with a threatening gaze. Occasionally, the figure disappears, and when it returns, it smells of blood.
There is no danger, and you can survive day after day. Seeing that it was almost October, Mingyue took advantage of the few monsters in the sky to visit the most famous midwife in the county. showed his identity as a monster, and put out fifty taels of gold, five bags of rice, and one bag of salt. The midwife's eyes lit up, patting her chest to ensure that she could definitely protect the safety of Meng Xiaowan's mother and son, and she lived in the yard and was on standby at any time.
Under the careful protection of Mingyue, it finally came to the day when Meng Xiaowan was about to give birth. Outside the house, the lightning flashed again and again, and the thunder rushed one after another, making the earthquake tremble. The midwife was bold and hurriedly delivered the baby for Meng Xiaowan.
Mingyue stood in the middle of the courtyard, clenching her fists, looking up at the jagged electric light that kept flashing in the sky, her eyes cold.
Suddenly, the midwife screamed and rushed out of the house. buried his head and rushed to the courtyard gate, but Mingyue grabbed his shoulder: "Mother-in-law, where are you going?" ”
The midwife trembled, knelt on the ground, folded her hands and begged: "The monster king spares his life, spare his life." I can't do it for youkai......"
Mingyue took the midwife's arm and lifted her from the ground: "What did you say?" Didn't you have to do it before? ”
"The King...... I'm timid...... I was greedy for gold when I saw it before...... Now my hands don't obey me...... a puddle of yellow liquid spread at the midwife's feet, and she snot and tears flowed, "My hands really don't obey the call, the king......"
Smelling the faint smell of blood coming from the house, Mingyue's eyes sank, and she asked, "Who else will deliver babies nearby?" ”
"Wang Xiaoshou ...... of neighboring counties"
"I'll go back as soon as I go, no matter who comes, don't open the door, or I'll eat you!"
The midwife nodded again and again, and when she saw the bright moon in front of her turn into a whirlwind and disappear in an instant, she suddenly collapsed to the ground and kept chanting Buddha.
The wind blew more and more fiercely, and the wind chimes and cinnabar nets twisted and struggled together in the wind, frightening the midwife's three souls. blamed himself for not being hot-headed when he saw gold, and promised to do things for the monster. When he was about to go into battle, he didn't even see the child's head, but he was frightened by the thunder, his feet were soft and his hands were shaking, he couldn't do anything, and he couldn't earn yellow gold. I only hope that the midwives in the neighboring counties will be more courageous and successfully complete this errand. When the time comes, I will say something good about myself, maybe Uncle Monster can give him fifty taels of gold as a reward......
Just as he was thinking about it, there was a knock on the door of Mingyue in the cold wind: "Xiaowan, open the door quickly, I'm back." ”
"Thank God, it's hopeful, the monster is just ...... fast" The midwife didn't care about the filth on her body, and ran to open the door happily.
The amniotic water has been broken, the pain in the lower abdomen is getting more and more intense, the pain makes Meng Xiaowan confused, just now I saw the midwife running out, she couldn't hold back and couldn't scream, she could only be anxious, and now she can only look forward to the new midwife.
heard Mingyue knocking on the door, and heard the midwife running to open the door. Meng Xiaowan was excited, and she hurriedly cocked her body out of nowhere, and shouted: "Don't open the door!" ”
Mingyue won't call her "Xiaowan", she will only call her "Hun family".
But the midwife didn't answer.
The windows were blown open by the wind, and the wind filled the room at once.
Sensing something strange, Meng Xiaowan slowly turned her head and saw a man standing next to the bed. The appearance is very charming, and the skin is so white as if there is no trace of blood in the whole body, white porcelain. He was wrapped in a bright red gauze coat, as enchanting as fire. A pair of hands leisurely crossed together, ten pointed nails shining with a shiny silver light, more like a pair of claws.
The knife-like wind made Meng Xiaowan Ling very sober, and she understood that the man in front of her was not a human, but a demon. Since people dared to come, it was useless to plead, and she grabbed the scissors beside the bed in vain.
The man smiled at her and said, "The mother is punished by heaven, and the father has no soul, and the baby is really pitiful." ”
The sleeves of the red gauze are lightly raised.
Suddenly, a sharp pain rushed out of Meng Xiaowan's lower abdomen, as if a hand had grabbed a handful in her body. It hurt so much that her temples felt like they were about to burst all at once, and a terrible scream came out of her throat.
Then she saw a small baby on the man's bloody hands. The whole body was red, as if he had just been fished out of the pool of blood, and he didn't move, not knowing whether he was dead or alive.
It's her child.
She saw the man looking at her child and smiling proudly: "The big demons have worked hard for half a year, but they asked me to pick up a big bargain, half of the demon power of the python king." With you, I can save thousands of years of penance and go straight to the ranks of the great demons. Little Demon Star, did he eat you directly or refine you into a pill? ”
The desperation and heartache almost made Meng Xiaowan faint. She struggled, brandishing her scissors and slamming them into the man, only to slam into the void and fall from the bed to the ground. When he looked up, the man was gone, and only the strong wind remained in the room.
She wanted to cry.
But the tears didn't come out at all, because the water in her body turned into a warm liquid, rushing out of her ruptured lower abdomen. The feeling of dizziness kept coming, and Meng Xiaowan understood that she couldn't survive. But she was worried about the child, and she was reluctant to let Mingyue go. In my mind, I thought that even if Mingyue buried her by the bamboo building and guarded the grave every day, it would be separated by a coffin.
Reluctantly, reluctantly, she is reluctant to die.
Stretching out his fingers, stained with blood, he used his last strength to write a few words.
"Save the child...... Ate my ......"
After eating her, she will be able to stay by Mingyue's side forever and be with Mingyue forever......
……
Two teenagers came to the Ming family's bamboo building, both of whom were dressed as scholars. One has white hair, clear eyebrows, and a flirtatious smile on his face. A face is expressionless, and that face is very beautiful, if it is not for the shape of a man, it is no different from a girl.
The two stood in front of a messy bamboo building for a while, stepped over the cinnabar net on the ground that was messed up by the rain, and entered the house one after the other. There was no sound in the room, and the tables, chairs, and benches were neatly arranged.
The two searched outside the room for a while, then pushed open the bedroom door.
I saw Mingyue sitting cross-legged on the bed, turning her head to look out the window in a daze. Conspicuous demon body, silver hair and blue eyes, a little diamond-shaped cinnabar at the center of his eyebrows, but he was wearing a black brocade shirt made of mortals. He carried two stacks of clothes in his arms, and the lower one was a set of women's clothes. On top of it are a few baby clothes, and a cute little tiger head.
The white-haired young man crossed his arms and smiled coldly: "The demon corpse is so bold, it stole the person from my family master and hid it here, so that we can find it." Now that I've tasted this retribution, it's not comfortable, isn't it? I heard that you have been fighting with the Thirteen Demon Kings and all kinds of demons for half a year, and then you will fight again. Just pinching his fingers and counting that the mistress has passed away, my lord ordered us to find the bones of the mistress and bring them back, and bury them with him in the future, and hand over the bones of my matrium. ”
Mingyue was still staring out the window, her side face as quiet as a statue.
A light breeze came out, and a few dead leaves drifted into the room through the window, touching his silver hair, and slowly sliding down the smooth strands.
"I don't listen to persuasion......" waited for a long time, and the white-haired young man's eyes showed a slight impatience. The cuffs flicked, revealing two golden bells on the wrists.
"Xiannu," the person who looked out the window in a daze finally spoke, his voice hoarse and weak, but word by word, very clear, "I only have half a point of demon power left now, maybe it's not your opponent." But if you want, take my house away. Turning his head to look at them, a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, "You can only burn me, and then separate me from the ashes of my family." ”
"Demon corpse," the white-haired young man was stunned, and then reacted, "You eat, eat, eat?!" ”
"There's no housewife here. My Hun family doesn't like it, and people come into my house. Mingyue smiled solemnly, and a cold light flashed in her blue eyes, "Get out!" ”
As soon as the words fell, there was an explosion in the room, which shook people's ears numbly. In an instant, the house shook, and Saturn splashed. Seeing that the situation was not good, the two teenagers hurriedly jumped out of the window. When I turned to look, dust filled the sky, the earth cracked, and the roof of the bamboo building slowly sank in shaking......
I don't know how long it took, the dust gradually dissipated, and the place that was originally a bamboo building became a mess of rocks and soil. Only a broken piano was stuck diagonally in the middle of the dirt, and the body was covered with dirt and dirty.
Looking at this pile of messy soil, the white-haired young man frowned slightly: "Is it okay to escape to the ground?" Wait for me to bring the lake and force him out. ”
The young man, who had been silent, suddenly said, "Ah Qing, forget it." Then he turned and left.
The white-haired young man glanced at him coldly: "You don't listen to the Lord's orders?" Isn't it the nostalgia for the old owner of the python? ”
The young man didn't look back, and his tone was strange, in a group of four words: "The lord and the mother, the world will be punished, and there will be no shortage of one life." The mother of this world, the wife of the python. It is against humanity to take away people's wives and add to their debts. ”
Hearing this, the white-haired young man hesitated for a moment and turned to leave.
Behind him, a gust of mountain wind blew, blowing away the floating soil on the body of the piano, and a few words could be vaguely recognizable on it:
…… Rose...... Fu Lang Yue ...... (To be continued.) )
