XVII. Fuyu

Ear mouse: Resembles a mouse but has a pair of rabbit ears, sustains life with the smell of thousand-year-old pine, and recognizes people by smell.

(1) Fucheng Tavern

Fuyu is because it is the exit of the north of the Lethe River of the underworld, so there are only immortals who often haunt here except for ghosts, because the Fuyu belongs to the territory of the heavenly realm, and a turbid stream washes away the filthy air, so in addition to the clear stream flowing out of the Lethe River, it is covered by a seeping immortal qi, and it has recently become a good place for His Royal Highness the Prince of the Heavenly Clan to retreat and practice.

The name of the nearby world is Fucheng, I don't know if it is because of the sparse population here or the reason why the dense forest causes the fear in the hearts of mortals, the news that there will be ghosts in the vicinity has reached the ears of the emperor in the capital, and there are merchants who come to trade to add fuel and vinegar, saying that the not very prosperous Fucheng is extremely terrifying, but he privately transported most of the goods and goods to Fucheng. Because, the people here are very bold in their shots, as long as it is a good product, they are bound to buy it.

Hundreds of years ago, many merchants flocked to the floating city, making it a ghost city but as prosperous as the capital, and merchants came and went very frequently. Recently, a young girl in her twenties and eight-year-olds opened a Fucheng tavern on West Street in Fucheng, with the appearance of a very ordinary woman in the world, but her temperament has a bit of a man's free and easy.

On the day of the opening of the new store, there was only one firecracker, and there was no discount for worshipping the god of wine and opening the store. And her family only buys alcohol, and she doesn't even have a snack to accompany her, let alone invite someone to run the hall.

Therefore, the restaurants in Fucheng have sent people to drink wine, ordinary price, ordinary wine, there is nothing unique, if it is unique, but this wine is indeed stronger than their own and more mellow. Therefore, since then, the business of this Floating City Tavern is only a few regular customers, although it is open for business during the day, there are very few customers from her house.

For example, although she had long hair, she was indeed a widow with a dead husband, because she was doing business in Qinglou behind her back, and was driven out of the original place by some despised women, and was forced to flee to this floating city where ghosts are rumored to be haunted.

The sun sets, the night is dark, the candlelight is swaying in the lanterns, a thick aroma of wine wafts out from the Fucheng Tavern, this person who is despised by everyone is sitting leisurely at the counter at the moment, picking up the wine jug and pouring a glass of wine, holding his chin and enjoying the aroma of the wine, and then savoring the red fruit wine.

A black figure walking outside wondered if it was attracted by the smell of wine, or if it was like those who had heard the rumors and planned to come to her to make fun of themselves.

"As I said, I only sell wine here, not people, and if you come to propose marriage, you will be presented with a thousand taels of gold and a hundred pieces of jade. Otherwise......"

The woman in green clothes hurriedly turned her back when she saw the visitor, and her eyes glanced at the chain in the hand of the person vigilantly, not daring to look back.

The reason is this, a few months ago, while His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was in retreat in the Nine Heavens, Yiyi, who was the mount of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, took the opportunity to sneak out of the Nine Heavens and was preparing to live a pure and leisurely life. Coincidentally, on a dark and windy night in the moon, I saw a human woman with a haggard face and swallowed her breath, and after a while, the black impermanence with an iron chain in his hand locked the woman's soul away, so Yiyi, who secretly ran to the world, turned into the appearance of this human woman and came to the floating city.

As for why she came to Fucheng, she naturally heard that this is a ghost town, but she has never heard that someone will be killed by demons and demons for no reason, so she dares to conclude that the demons and demons here must be conformist, and those immortals will definitely rarely come here.

As for why she was so afraid of black impermanence, she was naturally afraid that he would remember that he had locked up a soul that looked exactly like her, because this face at this time could easily remind him of himself that night. But this can't all be blamed on her, she just drank a little too much for a while, and when she saw that the black impermanence actually had a sword-eyed starry face, she couldn't help but turn over and go down when she was drunk, and hugged someone's neck and kissed it.

When His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was in retreat, she drank a few more jars of wine, and she even did such a flirtatious thing when she drank too much, if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince knew about it, she would definitely be locked up again. For now, the plan is to dispel this sudden black impermanence.

"I heard that there is a tavern in the floating city, and a pot of fruit wine that does not sell mortals is famous far and wide," Hei Wuchang turned to sit down at the table with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and put down the chain in his hand, "I have nothing to do today, so I came here to taste it." ”

Yiyi was obviously relieved, he, didn't he really remember her? Also, her previous voice was as milky as a child's, and even when she said extremely angry words, it became like child's play when it came out of her mouth, which had been milky all her life. In order to prevent some immortals from using her characteristics to inform Jiu Chongtian of the news that she had secretly escaped to the mortal world, she also changed her appearance and changed her voice a little by the way, which really sounded like the voice of a woman of this age.

"The small shop is not a mortal business, if the guest officer thinks that my fruit wine here is okay, I will have to trouble the guest officer to help me a lot when I turn back."

Yiyi covered a cloth on the side of his mouth, and took the transparent agate wine jug and wine glass to the inside, and the red fruity wine was in the transparent agate wine jug, which was enough to see that it was not short of catties.

Hei Wuchang took the wine glass in Yiyi's hand, didn't rush to drink it or say anything, but a pair of eyes stared at Yiyi a little weak, if it was replaced by the usual day, she would have scolded a long time ago, didn't she just kiss him, is it necessary to stare at her like a prisoner?

Although Yiyi was calm on the surface, the hand hidden in his sleeve had already clenched into a fist. Black impermanence is not a patient temperament, a palm wind took the opportunity to lift the cloth on her face, "hum" and drank the fruit wine in his hand, said: "Sure enough, it's you, so good and dignified at the expense of such a big spell turned into a mortal appearance, the girl is not a light little devil and little demon, afraid that they will come to seek revenge on you." ”

It's just an extremely ordinary word, and it has a bit of a meaning to cut her with a thousand knives when it comes out of the mouth of the black impermanence, Yiyi frowned, and he didn't even bother to maintain the spell of changing his voice, and stepped forward with his waist, and said in her originally extremely immature and lovely voice: "I've kissed it, what do you still want me to do?" It's a big deal, I'll let you go back. ”

She finally found the opportunity to go down to earth, and made some improvements to the secret recipe she found from Ao Lie in the East China Sea, so that she could make this fruit wine that has no sweetness, only fruity aroma and wine aroma that is famous for many demons and demons in Fucheng, and there will be many old customers coming for a while, but she can't let this fierce and vicious black impermanence ruin her business.

Hei Wuchang obviously didn't expect her to admit it so refreshingly, looking at the mortal face in front of her, Yiyi said this in the tone of that night, but there were three points of the illusion that she was teasing him, but her eyes were clearly angry, he couldn't guess what her intentions were, but he himself, listening to her extremely immature voice saying such words, he subconsciously took a step back.

"No...... Not necessarily. ”

Hei Wuchang returned to his position, picked up the pot of wine and drank it himself, Yiyi put one hand on his waist and the other hand against his chin and looked at Hei Wuchang thoughtfully, he, should he think that he was slighting him, right?

Before he had time to think about it, two people came from outside and shouted to drink fruit wine as soon as they entered, and walked to the private room here in the black impermanence.

"Yo, Boss Xiaoyi, when was the position of our brothers robbed by a ghost?"

Another wolf demon shouted: "That's it, how can we say that we are also a regular customer in your store, how can this position be given to such useless ghosts who can only scare and scare mortals?" ”

Black impermanence is not the kind of master who will sit and listen to their little demons talk nonsense, and before Yiyi can send them away, he picked up the iron chain and smashed it over, and a wolf demon "pounced" on the ground and knocked out a hole in the bamboo partition wall. Yiyi's eyes widened in shock, this is the bamboo she has been looking for for a long time.

However, Hei Wuchang saw the wolf demon who was about to make a move, but fortunately, Yiyi quickly broke the wolf demon's spell and grabbed the iron chain, and immediately blocked the middle, and said, "Brother, are you all blind?" The...... But the devil is impermanent, if you dare to talk more, even I can't protect you. ”

Yiyi glanced at each other, and the two wolf demons slipped away in a familiar manner, Yiyi threw away the chain in his hand, the anger on his face was unquenchable, he turned around and raised his fist angrily, and said: "Black impermanence, as for holding a grudge like this?" Not only did they drive away the regulars in my store, but they also hurt people, and even more angrily destroyed the bamboo walls that I had worked so hard to find, so you should be satisfied this time. ”

Hei Wuchang looked at her so angry that she didn't even bother to use the spell to change her voice, her face was full of anger, and when she said it in a milky voice, she completely changed her meaning, but she had a bit of a coquettish appearance.

Hei Wuchang's face was still with that grim expression, just when Yiyi thought that he was going to fight a ghost today, the man put down a silver ingot on the table, looked back at her and said "I'll pay you" and left.

"That's ...... Let's go? ”

Yiyi withdrew the spell in his hand, and the person was gone, and at this moment there was a knock on the door, because the customers of Yiyi's tavern were not mortals, so he cast some small spells at the door, one was to isolate the conversation of the demons inside from being heard by mortals, and the other was to make these mortals think that their tavern was closed.

Since the black impermanence called to drink, Yiyi turned on the magic at the door, and ordinary demons, monsters and fairies can see that the Fucheng Tavern is open for business, and only in mortals is the door closed and the inside is silent.
