43. Chapter 43

I've never been so embarrassed in my life!

Tang Lin thought a little desperately, now it's okay, "Tang Lin and Xiao Zibai have a leg" This matter is not only spread in the cultivation realm, according to the speed of the spread of gossip in this world, maybe the whole world will be filled with two or three things about the two of them from now on.

Why didn't you hold on! Why didn't you react quickly! Didn't you say that you should see Xiao Zibai as a nephew! I actually ate the grass on the edge of the nest!

Countless exclamation marks rumbled into a row and rushed through Tang Lin's heart, but Xiao Zibai coughed lightly and poked him through the contract: "What you just said is wrong, it was the grass on the edge of the nest that ate you." ”

Tang Lin was annoyed and embarrassed, and disconnected with a snap.

Xiao Zibai laughed softly.

Tang Lin threw away his hand, looked away and deliberately didn't look at Xiao Zibai, the tips of his ears hidden under his hair began to quietly redden.

The young people and girls in the surrounding circle suddenly cheered, laughing and competing to pile the flowers in their hands on Xiao Zibai and Tang Lin's bodies, saying all kinds of things while piling them up. "It turns out that you are a couple" is considered harmonious, and "a hundred years of good harmony" is normal, but "early birth of a noble son" is not quite right, the more Tang Lin listened, the more embarrassed he became, but Xiao Zibai smiled like a flower next to him.

After finishing the pile of flowers in their hands, the group of young girls rushed away again, leaving behind two people who were almost buried in the pile of flowers.

"This guy from Kawakura Mansion...... It's really welcoming. Xiao Zibai opened his mouth and said without words, Tang Lin hurriedly said "um", raised his hand to pick up the flowers piled up beside him, and after a few clicks, Ah Dong, who was forgotten in the depths of his sleeve, suddenly poked his head out.

Tang Lin: ...... , he just completely forgot that there was a Dong in his sleeve......

Without waiting for Tang Lin to think about how to express his apology, Ah Dong had already raised a few green leaves directly at Tang Lin and made a high and low comparison. Tang Lin looked at the sudden change in his face, and suddenly forgot about his embarrassment, and directly picked up a branch of flowers and put it in front of him to take a closer look, his brows tightened more and more.

Xiao Zibai found that Tang Lin's expression was wrong, so he asked him suspiciously, "What's wrong?" ”

Tang Lin handed him the flowers in his hand and said with a solemn expression: "These are those flowers soaked in wine, which give people exactly the same feeling...... The demonic aura is mixed with resentment, and it is very strong. ”

Xiao Zibai also twisted his eyebrows after catching the flowers, he looked down at the messy flowers on the ground, thought for a moment, and suddenly gasped: "Do you remember what we saw when we just went out?" His hand clenched the flower branch: "If I'm not mistaken, there is one of the customs of this flower picking festival...... Is it to arrange a flower basket on the edge of the eaves?! ”

Tang Lin slowly pursed his lips, and he rushed to the side of the street in a few steps, the wind blowing from behind him, filtering the entire street from beginning to end. Listening to the whisper of the wind spiritual power in his ear, Tang Lin slowly turned his head with a heavy expression: "Every flower has demonic resentment. ”

Every single one.

And on the 4th of March, when the flowers are picked, the flowers in Kawakura are ...... Overwhelming.

What a fox demon, what a butterfly girl, what is hidden in this Hecang Mansion is clearly a spider spirit! It has woven a huge net from flowers all over the province, and the whole of Kawakura Province is the prey of its net! Tang Lin's long hair was blown by the wind, and he looked at the laughing crowd in front of him, and suddenly remembered the ending of those mortal mansions in the original text.

The author does not go into detail about the tragic situation of those cities, but gradually summarizes them in two words: "extinction".

Tang Lin exhaled deeply.

He sensed his own points! Body, it was determined that whether it was Kong Liu or the people of the Lingshan Sword Sect, they would definitely not be able to come to Hecang Mansion on the day of the Flower Picking Festival, so they turned to Xiao Zibai and said, "...... I wanted to test the purpose of this monster. ”

It is by no means for no reason that this monster has laid an overwhelming net in the city, if it is just to destroy the city, it does not need to start the layout now, such a far-sighted plan must be long-term. Xiao Zibai raised his eyes and looked at Tang Lin, and easily replied "yes", which made Tang Lin, who thought that he needed to work hard to convince him, a little surprised, but then Xiao Zibai said, "What are you going to do?" I'm with you. ”

Tang Lin subconsciously still wanted Xiao Zibai to stay, and didn't want him to be involved in the danger, but soon, Tang Lin remembered their previous dispute.

He swallowed the rejection that had not yet been spoken, walked up to Xiao Zibai, and whispered to him: "I have to wait for two more days...... The day after tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, we should have a chance. ”

The flower picking festival in Kawakura Province lasts for three days. In the legend of the Flower Picking Festival, at the end of the last day, at dusk and sunset, butterflies as big as bowls will fly and stop on the heads of the most beautiful young and young people who have been selected, and these people will be called the goddess of flowers, and they will have the opportunity to meet the fox demon butterfly girl.

Fox, demon, butterfly, female.

Tang Lin lowered his eyelids.

Legends are never unfounded. He glanced at the flowers around him that were full of resentment and demonic power, and hoped that things would not be what he imagined, although the origin of these flowers would not be very clean in any case, but he only hoped that ...... Don't be so bloody.

"What if legends are really just legends?" Xiao Zibai frowned and asked, he had obviously thought of the story of the flower god of Nalaoshzi: "And even if this legend is true, we may not necessarily be chosen." ”

"If that's the case, then there's not much we can do." Tang Lin spread his hands lightly: "We are both just Jin Dan, or a remote place of a small sect can walk sideways, but this monster here-" He twisted his eyebrows, waved his hand and drew a circle around: "-I want to eat the entire Hecang Mansion!" What a lot of appetite this must be, anyway, I ask myself if there is no way to deal with such a big monster, unless I fight to the death. ”

He sighed, "I don't want to die so soon. ”

Xiao Zibai listened, and sighed with him: "To be honest, I don't want to die either." ”

The two of them looked at each other sadly for a while, and suddenly they both laughed.

"It's not good to be so cowardly." Tang Lin shook his head while laughing: "It's a cultivator, you should have a Dao heart, what is that...... Fearless? ”

"Fearless heaven and earth does not mean that you should be sent to death." Xiao Zibai argued, he sneaked a look at Tang Lin, and found that Tang Lin didn't find himself, so he looked hard again: "...... I can't bear to die. ”

Tang Lin's face unconsciously began to heat up again, he glanced at Ah Dong, who quickly retracted into his sleeve, and said softly, "Let's go back first today." ”

The topic shifted to a simple and rude level, but Xiao Zibai nodded at him: "Okay, then let's go back first." Intentionally or unintentionally, Xiao Zibai aggravated the word "we", an ordinary sentence, and he said that the husband and wife returned home.

Tang Lin seemed to be smiling, and glanced at him.

This is just an ordinary action, Tang Lin did not have any hazy meaning when he made it, and it fell in Xiao Zibai's eyes, but he only felt charming.

He coughed twice, quietly stretched out his hand, and held Tang Lin's hand, Tang Lin raised his eyebrows and didn't wave him away.

Xiao Zibai was happy in his heart, but he still didn't dare to clench his hand. He diverted the conversation and said to Tang Lin: "I remember that there will be a night market in the mortal world at night? Why don't we go shopping tonight? During the day, go to the market to have a look? I don't even go shopping much. ”

The topic of "going back" just now was thrown aside by him, Tang Lin knew that he was thinking that the two of them would be separated when he went back, so he smiled slightly and said softly: "Well, then go together." ”

He clenched Xiao Zibai's hand.

Ah Dongsheng in Tang Lin's sleeve was unlovably wrapped around his hand, continuing to disguise himself as an ordinary jade bracelet.

As a result, they did not wait for the night market that night, but waited for the curfew.

If they hadn't run fast, they might have been arrested as suspicious by the patrolling soldiers. Tang Lin quietly summoned the spiritual power of the wind system, Xiao Zibai slapped the two of them on the legs, and the two of them were as light as swallow talismans, and under the stunned gaze of those soldiers, the two of them disguised themselves as martial arts masters, and the big light skills were opened and slipped off the wall. After completely disappearing from the sight of others, the two stopped together, and then looked at each other and laughed.

I didn't laugh twice, but I heard a "pop" sound, and a rag shoe fell in front of them, and a surrounding family scolded in the wall: "I don't sleep at night and sleep outside and laugh with a shovel!" Melon and hemp pie! ”

Xiao Zibai shrank his head, Tang Lin covered his mouth, and ran away secretly.

Three days later, the sun was setting.

Tang Lin left Ah Dong in the inn, put it in a flower pot and asked him to pretend that he was an ordinary vine, and he went to the window on the second floor of the inn with Xiao Zibai, and ordered a few plates of side dishes to put on the table, not to eat them, just to make a show. Neither of them had the heart to move the chopsticks, so they only leaned on the railing to look at the orange sun outside, counting it gradually lowering.

It was just the twilight of the sunset, and the colorful glow dyed the sky, reflecting the figures of the two people looking at the railing in the clouds in the sky. In the glow of the setting sun, which was fading away, two butterflies with large bowls came against the light, flying closer and closer, one stopped on Xiao Zibai's sideburns, and the other landed on Tang Lin's right shoulder.

There was a sudden "buzzing" sound in the ears of the two.

It seems to be the Zen sound of the ancient temple, like the wind chimes at the corner of the eaves, the sound is heavy and ethereal, like a drum and a hammer slamming into the bottom of people's hearts, but the aftersound is ethereal, with a trace of indescribable weirdness. Tang Lin smiled at the corner of his mouth, casually glanced at the crowded street below, and unsurprisingly saw that the surging crowd froze the moment the voice sounded, and people froze in place one by one like puppets, with excited or shy expressions on their faces.

Xiao Zibai whispered to Tang Lin through the contract: "Hold on to me." ”

He himself was wearing the narrow-sleeved cloth that the Lingshan Sword Sect had always maintained, and when he pretended to be stiff, there was no room for his hands to move. Tang Lin stretched out his divine sense to smack him hard, but he also stretched out his hand under the cover of wide sleeves and held Xiao Zibai's hand tightly.

Xiao Zibai held him firmly.

The bleak sunset fell heavily to the horizon, and at the moment when the last rays of light converged, the butterflies parked on the two of them suddenly exploded silently, scattering into clumps of fine powder.

The powder enveloped the two of them firmly.

The next moment, the sky was spinning in front of the two of them, and their bodies suddenly took off. Tang Lin suppressed his instinct to fly, firmly held Xiao Zibai's hand, and the two clay wood sculptures fell straight down against gravity, smashing into a flower bush with a "bang", raising a rain of flowers in the sky.

The scene in front of him gradually became clearer, and Tang Lin heard the sound of sporadic coughing and the sound of clothes rubbing around him, mixed with the sound of flowers and plants being overwhelmed in pieces. Tang Lin raised his head and saw three teenagers, one man and two women standing up one after another among the surrounding flowers, one was delicate and one was elegant, and the other had three points of heroism between his eyebrows. These three people are all very good-looking, Xiao Zibai and Tang Lin glanced at each other, and they both understood that they were probably all the so-called chosen "flower gods".

Thinking of the legendary Emperor Yunhua, the god of a hundred flowers who was killed by a phoenix's fire, Tang Lin always felt that this title was a little ironic.

The other three looked at each other curiously, and Xiao Zibai and Tang Lin unabashedly shook each other's hands, which more or less attracted some curious glances. Xiao Zibai coughed lightly, and pulled Tang Lin to stand up from the flowers, because it fell heavily from mid-air, his original white clothes were stained with some flower juice and grass liquid, Tang Lin frowned and reached out to dust it for him, and a few wisps of flower branches fell from his clothes.

A lazy laugh suddenly came from not far away.

It is a clear juvenile timbre, but with a three-point androgynous charm.

Tang Lin looked up sharply and looked at the sea of flowers that stretched and bloomed like brocade, but saw a young man in red standing fluttering on top of the flowers. The red clothes were burning like fire, hunting and fluttering in the wind, and the three thousand miles of maple leaves behind him were like fire, but they couldn't take away half of his color, he just raised his eyes and hooked his lips and smiled slightly, and he had a unique elegance.

Xiao Zibai trembled when he heard the sword hidden in his heart, he squinted his eyes, looked at the young man in red, and said to Tang Lin in a low voice:

"Kitsune."

When the young man in red heard this, he glanced at him in a little surprise, and there was naturally a hint of bewilderment in his eyes. Tang Lin took a step forward without hesitation and blocked Xiao Zibai behind him.

The young man in red pursed his lips and turned his head uninterestingly.

"You have come here, and this is your fate." He put his hands behind his back and said with a little arrogance: "This is Langhuan Wonderland, we accepted you here because you are all people with fairy fate." ”

With a wave of his long sleeves, he lit five shiny balls of light in mid-air, and flew in front of the five of them in a flash. Xiao Zibai pulled Tang Lin and took a step back vigilantly, but the ball of light did not move forward, only floated leisurely in front of them. The young man stepped on the flower branches, and his wide sleeves flew in front of them, and he lit the ball of light from afar and said to the five of them: "There are all exercises to become immortals. ”

"As long as you cultivate, you will have eternal life." The fox demon with the appearance of a young man in red said meaningfully, and the surrounding sea of flowers swayed gently, emitting some shimmering dust, and the charming fox demon gradually had a smell of dust in his bones.

The eyes of the three mortal boys and girls flashed with greed, and they did not hesitate to reach out to grab those light balls, Tang Lin sighed in his heart, and said to Xiao Zibai through the contract: "If you want to pretend, pretend to be some, the worst guess is that there is a contract law in the light ball, and if you take it, you will be controlled by that big demon." But I think that's unlikely, the big monster behind that 'fairyland' probably doesn't look down on these mortals. ”

"Yes, at most, it's just the fox demon's contract." Xiao Zibai said firmly: "That fox demon looks like it's just a foundation, and it can't sign Jin Dan at all, so let's just disguise it." ”

As they spoke, they reached out and took the ball of light.
