The owl flies slowly, and even in the dark, it can accurately identify the direction.

The drunken boy and the yaksha followed quietly behind them.

The further I went, the more depressing I became.

It was a kind of uncomfortable feeling, as if the air had become scarce.

Make people feel.

If you keep walking, you may suffocate to death.

"This place is what it is, don't be surprised."

Smoke said softly.

The sticky feeling on the ground had not gone away, and there seemed to be some kind of unpleasant smell in the air.

"Smoke, how long do you have to go?"

Prajna floated in the air, and his face was a little bad, although as a ghost, he didn't need to breathe air.

But I still felt suffocated.

"It's probably going to be a day away."

Smoke replied.

……

When Chen Beibei returned home, Snow Girl's body was already well.

Basking in the sun in the yard.

The spring sun makes people feel very comfortable, and the Snow Girl is wearing plain white clothes, cool and clean.

It can even be described as holy.

After all, the Snow Maiden is a youkai that has existed since ancient times, and it can also be said that she is the god of snow.

"Master, you're back."

When the Snow Girl saw Chen Beibei and them coming back, she immediately greeted them.

In the past, Snow Girl was generally cold.

It is relatively rare to take the initiative to greet Chen Beibei like this.

"Snow Maiden, are you alright?"

Chen Beibei asked.

A smile appeared on the Snow Maiden's face, as gentle as the spring sun: "Well, I'm fine. ”

At this time, the Snow Girl is also in a very good mental state, even more energetic than before the curse.

Everyone saw that the Snow Girl's body had recovered, and their hearts became clearer.

It's like this weather.

However, on this sunny day, there is still a trace of gloom, that is, the recovery of the wine swallowing boy's body.

This made Chen Beibei always feel at ease.

"Master, what's wrong with you?"

The careful Guan Hu noticed Chen Beibei's strange appearance, so he asked him.

Regarding the recovery of the wine swallowing boy's body, Chen Beibei did not intend to hide it from the gods.

After all, Chen Beibei alone has no way to fight against the drunken boy.

"The body of the drunken boy has recovered."

Chen Beibei looked at the white clouds slowly fluttering in the sky and said to the gods.

Quiet.

Everyone was silent for a while......

The white clouds fluttered slowly, obscuring the sun, and the whole world was briefly darkened.

Soon, though, the white clouds drifted away.

Chen Beibei smiled reluctantly, and then said, "However, there will always be a way." ”

……

The day passed quickly.

Smoke took the wine-swallowing boy and they came to a door together.

It was a black door with some weird lines on it.

As for what those lines represent and what they mean, I don't know.

"Who are you?"

An old voice rang out.

Prajna and Yaksha hurriedly stood in front of the drunken boy, it was just an instinctive reaction.

"Don't be nervous, it's Grandpa Dark."

Smoke turned back to the wine swallowing boy and said to them, and then flew to the black door and stopped on the ground.

The owl lay down on the ground, and then a girl of five or six years old conjured out of the owl's body.

It was a little girl dressed in gray coarse cloth, with a little bit of wildness. It gives people a special feeling.

"Grandpa Dark, it's me!"

Smoke said to the black door.

The owl on the ground flapped its wings and flew out into the darkness, and some terrifying sounds began to sound.

It was like the howl of a ghost.

"Don't eat it, let it go."

Smoke shouted loudly, and in the darkness, some black shadows slowly retreated, and the owl flew faster.

The black door in front of him began to change, and finally it became an old man with a big mouth.

On either side of the mouth is a large mouth, with a long beard.

The old man's mouth was so big that it almost split his entire face in half.

If you give him a watermelon.

You can probably eat it in one bite.

"It turned out to be smoked, and you're finally back."

The old man said.

"Well, is Lord Enma here? I'm going to find her. ”

"Here, you go over. But...... The latter ones are ......? ”

The old man walked up to the drunken boys.

Prajna and Yaksha had been standing in front of the drunken boy, and when the old man approached, the two of them became even more cautious.

Smoke knows.

If Grandpa Dark does something bad for the drunken boy, then Prajna and Yaksha will definitely attack him.

"Grandpa Dark, they're ......"

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by the old man: "Do you want to swallow the boy?"

"You know me?"

The drunken boy asked.

"The former ghost king, I saw you once in Dajiangshan, this handsome face is really unforgettable."

He said with a dark smile, his voice was very hearty, and when he laughed, his mouth opened even wider.

makes people wonder if he will eat it in one bite.

"You are?"

The drunken boy looked at the darkness and asked him.

"Ghost, compared to you, I'm just a nobody."

"It's you."

A wicked smile appeared on the face of the drunken boy, and the darkness laughed too.

"Since it's the drunken boy here, please come in quickly."

The old man turned sideways to give way.

The Drink-Swallowing Boy took the lead and walked in, followed closely by Yaksha and Prajna.

Smoke said goodbye to the old man, and quickly ran to the front of the wine swallowing boy, after all, the road here is still familiar to smoke.

After they left, the old man turned back into a dark door.

……

"Follow this river and you will go into the depths of hell."

Standing in front of a river filled with hazy smoke, Smoke said to the drunken boys.

"It's a bit desolate."

The wine swallowing boy frowned and said slowly.

The place is indeed somewhat deserted, even on the banks of the river, without any vegetation.

It's like a lifeless place.

"yes, this place has always been like this, it's been more than seven hundred years, and nothing has ever grown."

Smoke replied.

"That's boring."

"Well, but I can't help it, after all, this place is a strange place. Otherwise, it will not be abandoned by humans. ”

Smoke walked on the bank of the river and said slowly, without a trace of sadness and joy on his face.

The smoke on the surface of the river made their shadows reflected in the river look a little strange, as if it were not them.

Or, in the river, follow them.

It's not a shadow, it's some ghost.

Smoked toe kicked a small stone, and the stone fell into the water, and the river spread out circles of water.

Those "shadows" in the river suddenly disappeared after a turn.

"It's not a shadow......

Prajna said with a hint of curiosity.

"It's a ghost who likes to follow people, there is no light here, how can there be a shadow?"

Smoke explained.

In this place, there is indeed no light, and they can see these sights, and only because they are not human in the first place.

Ghosts.

It is possible to live in the dark.

"Actually, I had a wish a long time ago, I wanted that some plants could grow on this land, preferably more showy. That way, hell will be less boring......"

Somehow, Smoke said suddenly.

……

Yard.

Three days have passed, and the drunken boy has not made any movement.

The only thing that's a little out of the ordinary.

At night, you can see a lot of ghosts, leaving Qinghe Town.

Most of those little ghosts came to follow the drunken boy before.

"Master, perhaps...... The wine swallowing boy has already left Qinghe Town. ”

Gu Xuaniao, who had just come back from outside, said to Chen Beibei.

"Hmm."

Chen Beibei nodded, but he was still relieved.

After the wine swallowing boy recovered, what he did, Chen Beibei and they didn't know anything.

At this time, it is normal for Chen Beibei to be anxious.

After all, the legendary drunken boy is a very evil ghost king.

"Let's go find out."

Chen Beibei said.

Since the recovery of the wine swallowing boy, the little ghosts who gathered in the mountains behind Qinghe Town have also dispersed one after another.

Since then.

At night in Qinghe Town, you can finally see the moon and stars.

The darkness before.

It's probably because of some kind of ghost and special ability, as for what kind of ghost it is, Chen Beibei has no way to know now.

Today is the night of a full moon.

The sky rarely became brighter, and the color of the moonlight was also a special blue-white, with a kind of jade-like coolness.

It also carries a hazy sense of smoke and rain in the south of the Yangtze River.

On such a night, Chen Beibei really had no way to stay at home.

Maybe there are many people who will think the same thing about Beibei.

"Night...... Can't go out ......"

Chen Beibei thought so.

Not going out at night has been everyone's consensus for a long time.

However, on such a night, there should be many people who can't help but want to go out.

"Master, what are we going to look for?"

Guan Hu asked.

"Find someone to go out at night."

Chen Beibei replied.

At this time, although the ghosts in Qinghe Town have dispersed.

However, the goblins did not die.

Instead, they are wandering in the human world, and in this case, it is actually more dangerous than before.

After all, in the past, most of the ghosts gathered in the back mountains of Qinghe Town, and only a few of them wandered in the human settlements.

So there aren't a lot of human beings who have been hurt.

Only those who occasionally approached the mountains behind the town of Qinghe, and who were found by wandering ghosts, were killed or eaten.

"Looking for someone to go out at night?"

Gu Xuaniao asked suspiciously.

"Yes, on such a beautiful night, there must be a lot of people who can't help but want to go out for a walk, right?"

Chen Beibei raised his head, looked at the moon in the sky, and said slowly.

The light of the moon shines on the courtyard, making everything seem a little dreamy and giving an unreal beauty.

This feeling is actually very good.

It was very enjoyable.

At this time, the dream-eating tapir has not yet gone out to forage for food.

"It's really beautiful......"

The dream-eating tapir came out of the small house and said with an obsessive face, in a very small and soft voice.

Although the Dream Eater Tapir has been Chen Beibei's Shishen for a long time, there are not many opportunities for them to meet.

Of course, the same is true of the Dream Eater and other Shikijin.

After all, the Dream Eater Tapir is the only Shikin in Chen Beibei who sleeps during the day and goes out to forage for food at night.

"Dream Eater, come with us tonight."

The body of the dream-eating tapir, although it is more like a pig and has an elephant-like trunk, is still relatively cute.

This has a lot to do with the mildness of the dream-eating tapir.

"Well, thank you, master."

The Dream Eater Tapir looked at Chen Beibei and said gratefully.

……

Street.

The moonlight sprinkled in Qinghe Town, making people's hearts that had been silent become agitated.

In the past, it was dark outside, and it was dangerous to look at.

Even if you don't go out, you can easily do it.

However, this is no longer the case.

Everything outside seems to have returned to normal, peaceful, quiet, beautiful, and desirable.

It was twelve o'clock in the evening.

"Master, no one is sleeping."

The Dream Eater Tapir whispered.

"What?"

Although Chen Beibei heard what the Dream Eater Tapir said clearly, he didn't quite understand what she meant.

"The people in Qinghe Town haven't fallen asleep yet, probably because of today's moon."

The Dream Tapir replied.

Dream tapirs need to wait for others to fall asleep before they can go to their side and suck energy from their dreams.

Therefore, dream-eating tapirs have their own way of telling whether others are asleep or not.

As for what kind of method it is, only the Dream Eater Tapir himself knows.

Perhaps, it's because of the scent of dreams.

Perhaps, it's because dream-eating tapirs can hear the snoring of sleepers......

"It seems that everyone wants to go out for a walk on a night like this."

Chen Beibei said.

This kind of evening is perfect for walking.

The temperature in spring is perfect, the moonlight is beautiful, and the air smells of grass and flowers.

On this night, many of the residents in Qinghe Town turned on the lights of their homes, and the dim light was really a little dim and depressing compared to the blue and white moonlight.

Wheezing, sweating, accompanied by a dim yellow light, flowed out of the window together, with a depression, but also with a certain indescribable feeling.

Sometimes.

Even if you die, you may be chasing something ethereal.

This kind of thing can be freedom, desire, sunshine, fragrance, or a leisurely walk in the moonlight.

When Chen Beibei opened his spiritual eye, he could see the ghosts on the street, which was more than before.

These ghosts all came out of the back mountains.

Before, they were attracted by the drunken boy, and now they are leaving, but it will be a long time before they all leave.

"Hope...... No one dies tonight......"

Hands are so sore~
