Banquets: memories that you don't want to forget
After Xiaowu collected the wine bamboo she fancied into an acre of cloud field, she left Bai Ze and Ba Snake. Maybe she really should have a banquet, she has been invited to a banquet many times since she came to this world, but she has never thought of feasting these friends...... Next time, I will feast you and her in that endless sea of clouds.
Seeing Xiaowu leave, Bai Ze, who was a friend, had a somewhat complicated look. For many years, Xiaowu was like this when it first became a youkai. No matter how many things have happened, no matter how many years have endured, Xiaowu has not changed.
It is like the principle of permanence, eternal and eternal.
"Lao Ba, can you see clearly now, what is Xiaowu?"
"Xiaobai still cares? Xiaowu is good at everything, the three of us are friends, so that's not enough. The snake shook its head, and when it saw Bai Ze's serious eyes, it fell silent, thought for a long time, and said in a tone that was not very certain: "It's ...... Maybe it's the other side. โ
Maybe there are many juniors who don't know, but they, it, Xiaowu, and Bai Ze are really friends who have known each other for a long, long time.
It was a long time ago, when its body was not so large, and it and Xiaowu took Bai Ze, who had just become a monster, to travel through the three thousand realms of the universe, and even outside the human world, leaving their footprints and legends in the heavenly realm and hell.
Ba Snake recalled at this moment that he was really rebellious at that time, and directly swallowed a layer of heaven after being provoked in the heavenly realm, and then was chased and killed all over the world, until more than 23,000 years later, he jumped over the Taiyi Creation and walked directly towards the [Heavenly Realm], and finally let those little cubs in the heavenly realm stop......
Refreshing, perhaps, but more of a nest fire!
When it moves towards the [Heavenly Realm], even if it wants to make a move, it won't have a chance.
"The other side?" Ignoring the snake recalling to the west, Bai Ze was pulling his goatee and whispering in a low voice. Since I met Xiaowu, it had just become a monster at that time, and it was the year of its glory. And Ba Snake, at that time, it had already cultivated into the True Self Yuanyi, and became a big monster whose body was on par with the world, and so did Xiaowu.
At that time, it was just a little friend taken care of by Ba Snake and Xiaowu, and followed them to many places.
Infinite Universe, Three Thousand Worlds, Beyond the Earth, Thirty-three Days, Eighteen Hells...... Xiaowu is to collect rare plants, and when he encounters a bad temper, he can't compete for it. The snake is even simpler, it just wants to find someone to fight. I've heard it say that it left that world because the monsters in its own world couldn't beat it combined.
It's a simple reason.,Even today,It's still this simple monster.ใ
And what about itself...... Maybe it's just being carried around by them.
"I don't understand, is it the other side of the Yellow Spring, or is it an ideal place that is higher than the human world and does not exist in the world?" Bai Ze interrupted his deeper and deeper memories and turned to Ba Snake and asked.
"No, it's a flower, it's a fruit, it's the end of all practice, it's the place of all results. โ
"No way, that's [Heaven], Xiaowu is not [Heaven]. โ
"Of course, Xiaowu is not [Heaven], it is the flower of [Heaven], it is the fruit of [Heaven]. The snake raised his head, a pair of eyes that crossed the heavens and stars, and stared at an unknowable, unseeable, unsearchable and inconceivable place that transcended multiple time and space. It pondered for a long time, and said in an affirmative tone, "However, [Tian] must be Xiaowu. โ
"Is this what you see at this time?"
"yes, that's what I can see at this point. โ
......
There are many youkai participating in the banquet, but they are still too rare compared to this vast green bamboo forest. Many of them gathered around the chef to eat, and this banquet was different from Lao Ba's simple and violent binge drinking, and if no one cooked the three fresh dishes in the bamboo house, the taste would be much worse.
'Should I go to Xiao Rin?'
She is a very good chef, and she has said before that her skills have surpassed those who teach her own cooking. โ
Xiao Wu left the crowd aimlessly, and slowly walked in the direction where Xiao Rin and the others were.
"Forget it, this is the date Lan'er is looking forward to, so I won't bother. After walking for a while, Xiaowu stopped and whispered. After thinking for a moment, she turned to a small bamboo forest.
There are two little things there that are bothering, help them.
......
I don't know when, the second banquet also passed a long time. It is a very beautiful thing to discuss time in this feast of forgetting time, drinking slowly in the bamboo wine forest, sleeping peacefully in laughter, and waking up in shouting.
Xiao Rin pinched the wine glass and looked at the handful of cyan halos jumping between the branches and leaves of the wine bamboo with great interest. Just now, the bamboo leaf she was looking at had grown from nothing, as if this handful of cyan halo had been born out of nothingness.
It...... It seems to be cheering, and it is also cheering for its own birth.
"Lan'er, what is this?elf?" Xiao Rin asked the senior beside him who had participated in many banquets.
โ...... I haven't been to the sake forest before. Speaking of this, Lan Xin saw that Xiao Rin deliberately looked at her with a very disgusted gaze, she was suddenly a little annoyed, and stretched out her hand to flick Xiao Rin's eyebrows: "Stupid! Even if I am just a junior among the monsters, I have not participated in many banquets...... Besides, Bai Lao hasn't held a few banquets, so it's normal for me to know the situation here!
"Understand~" Rin coped with it very casually.
โ๏ผโ
"Understand, Lan'er is too young, it's completely normal to not know some things! Those who know everything must be old guys, so, this is an advantage!" Rin nodded very seriously.
"Good, please eat cake~"
When the joyful atmosphere of the banquet reached its highest point, countless cyan spots of light appeared in the middle of the wine bamboo in the air. The fist-sized cyan flecks of light seemed to have gained life in the aura of joy, and a slight but extremely tenacious heartbeat came from the countless flares of light.
Suddenly, a handful of cyan halo shattered, and a small, strange creature walked out of the handful of cyan halo. It resembles a humanoid body shrunk to the size of a palm, with two pairs of wings like green bamboo leaves behind it. They have defenseless bodies that have no sexual characteristics, and their ears are somewhat pointed, like the primitive elves of mythology.
Other features, only their eyebrows, where a little cyan halo has not yet dissipated.
As these little beings cheered their birth, the sake bamboo forest where everyone was located was like some kind of indescribable creature, all of which swayed slightly in the air, and each leaf vibrated at a specific frequency. When all the vibrations shook the city, a crisp wind chime echoed in the forest, like a hymn to the birth of these lives.
"Natural evolution, or is it a creation of Taiyi?" Xiao Rin put down his wine glass, his eyes turning into a holy cyan glow.
She watched the whole process of the birth of a life in her eyes.
Every trace of legal principles, every trace of composition, from nothing to existence, from nothingness to the birth of thinking, everything is in the eyes.
This is not a simple creation, nor is it a simple energy life, nor is it even an independent being. These little things are part of this sake forest, or rather...... These creatures are a small part of the spirit of the sake forest, and it reminds everyone that the feast is over.
After the birth of this little thing, it flew down under the guidance of a great unified consciousness. Some began to pick up the bamboo shoots that were littered, while others collected food scraps and buried them in the soil. There were also some lively guys who dared to fly in front of a few overly bold guests and rolled their eyes at them a few times.
Probably like...... Well, I guess I'm angry!
The way these guys took the wine was so rough that they broke a lot of the wine.
When the crisp sound of wind chimes sounded in the bamboo forest, the white snake pulled Bai Ze, who was 'thinking about what was going on back then', stood up, swept away the wine stains on his clothes, and made his image more formal: "Everyone, let's have fun, this is the end of the banquet in this sake forest." Let's rest the sake forest for a while, these little guys are the [spirits] of the sake forest, and some of the guests have annoyed it just now. โ
"It's really a chic reminder...... Xiao Rin silently complained in his heart, what this [Ling] is doing now is to use the means of [Taiyi Creation] to scare people. Those bold guys also had a dark face after knowing that they had actually destroyed the body of a Taiyi Creator.
Even if this one has acquiesced, even if it is only a very small bit.
But from the way the creatures behaved, they knew that he was not happy.
......
Passing through the gate back to the yoshi, the youkai attending the banquet once again arrived on an uninhabited island in the Pacific Ocean. As before, they were located in the center of the island, on the blue-white disk.
The messenger slowly walked out and led everyone to the venue of the next banquet.
Beneath a vast vein of light.
The spring of the earth, the source of a spiritual vein.
"Hello everyone, I am the host of this banquet. "It was a blonde man in a white robe who spoke. Its appearance is delicate and elegant, simple and elegant, and it can't see men and women just by looking at it, and it doesn't see the old and the young. Its appearance has gone beyond the category of gender, and it can only be said that this is a beautiful and delicate person.
It walked out of the monster, with an elegant posture, and every move had a kind of feminine and masculine temperament, and the two instruments were one. It stood by the source of the light vein and introduced to the guests: "I am not as rich as Ba Lao and Bai Lao, this wine banquet, three glasses per person. โ
As soon as it said this, the monsters below with a big appetite were not happy.
"Hey, three cups is too little. It's so stingy!!"
"That's it, Ba Snake and Bai Ze are casual drinkers, your Yang Vein Spirit is too petty. โ
"Three cups isn't enough for me, stingy! stingy!"
Hearing that there were only three glasses of wine to drink at this banquet, the guests were not satisfied, and the banquet provided by the host of each banquet for the guests varied according to the amount of wine in stock of the host, but ...... Three cups!!
Too little, too little.
"Think of me as a tiger and drink a river in one gulp. A big man with a big waist and a fat waist roared.
Seeing this big man bragging, a nine-headed dragon was not happy, the nine heads turned around, every time it was a white eye, and it would be nine times more lethal!" "What is this, if I let go of the drink, I can drink a big lake dry in one sip." โ
"What, it's a shame that you still have nine heads! You are embarrassed to blow a lake in one gulp? If I let go of it, it will fit into my stomach from all over the world. Hmph, no one should compare with me, you can't!!"
"Go, go, don't ****, I'm the best at this!" Just as a few monsters were boasting about themselves, a small black snake jumped on the heads of those monsters, and one of them pumped his tail.
It stood on the highest place, and looked down on them with arrogance: "Say, which of you dares to compare with me!"
"You can ......"
โ...... You can do it, you can blow it. โ
"You can do it, you can blow it, you can do it, you can blow it. โ
"You blow it, you blow it, I don't blow it. "Looking at this guy, everyone is intimidated.
Everyone knows what the prototype of this product is, the huge body spans the heavens and the stars, and each scale contains a world, radiating the world of impermanence, it does not cultivate Taiyi after the consummation of the true self Yuanyi, and directly steps towards the realm of heaven. The thing that swallowed the whole world, it also did a lot in the process of growing up, and if you really want to talk about drinking, it is estimated that there are no fairies, demons, gods and ghosts that compare to it.
"Okay, okay, I said that three glasses is still an overestimation of everyone, if there are still people who don't pour three glasses, you can drink as much as you want. The blonde-haired white-robed youkai waved his hand and placed the cup in his hand under the Spirit Vein Light River. Under the gaze of many monsters, the huge vein of light with no beginning or end in sight seeped down a pale golden stream of light, filling the wine glass.
"Raise your glass, the Spirit Vein Light River will fill it with light wine for you. โ
......
Xiao Rin raised his wine glass, and a golden monochrome stream of light filled the wine glass.
"Lan'er, have you ever drunk this wine?"
"No, this is the first banquet since it became a big youkai, and I haven't drunk it at a banquet before. โ
"Well, this wine can be drunk the first time it appears, and it's really worth the trip. Rin put the glass under the tip of her nose and sniffed, the wine did not have the aroma of wine: "Wine without fragrance, this will make it taste bad." โ
"Three cups is too little. Bai Huan pursed his lips, a little dissatisfied.
"Yes. Qi Meng, who had a wicked smile on his face, was beside her, reached out and hugged her little head and quipped: "Who doesn't know that my little rabbit is a big drunkard, even if the three tanks are not enough to drink, only three cups~~"
"I'm not an alcoholic, it's just that the wine tastes so good. โ
"Yes, yes, yes, it's not a drunkard, a drunkard can get drunk, a little rabbit won't!"
"Hey, Hey, ......"
......
Xiao Rin put the wine to his lips and took a sip.
There is no special taste, if I have to say, it is probably the taste of sake.
"Featureless?"
"Lan Er?" After calling again, Xiao Rin found that Lan Xin had put down the wine glass and looked blankly at the front of him.
There were tears in the corners of her eyes, and she muttered as if she was calling someone's name.
"Lan'er?"
"Well, what's wrong?"
"It's okay, I just think, it's been a long time...... Wine. Lan Xin stretched out her hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes, revealing a faint smile: "Rin, drink it in one gulp, you will find it delicious." โ
"That's funny...... I'm looking forward to it. โ
Xiao Rin pinched the wine glass, and there were already some monsters around him laughing, and some monsters closed their eyes, so that the tears would not flow down.
She drank the wine dry in one gulp, and a picture that could not be forgotten and forgotten according to the law sat in her heart.
She stood in place, looking at Yi Yue who walked by.
The month in white casual clothes is still the month of the girl.
๏ผ
ใ
"Xiao Rin, you're here. Yi Yue, who came to the agreed place one step ahead of her, waved at her.
Today's Yi Yue is very charming, with a happy smile on her face, not as low as she usually looks in school. Dressed in white casual clothes, it looks like it has been chosen, very simple but has a touch of vitality and elegance.
"Month, it seems that you are still early, and there are ...... You're beautiful today. Xiao Rin was conquered by Yi Yue's casual dress, and her eyes didn't know where to look.
"Yes, it's okay, this one was chosen for me by my mother. Reaching out and pulling the clothes on his body, Yi Yue said casually. Immediately: "You are, you look good like this, I didn't know you looked good like this before." โ
"It's... Really, it's wonderful......" let out a long breath, still worried that it would be rude for him to dress like this. After getting Yi Yue's praise, he put his heart at ease.
"Come, sit down, I'll take you to play. patted the back seat behind him, Xiao Rin's movements looked very atmospheric.
"Oh~ Can you? Yi Yue looked at the slender girl in front of her with a suspicious look for a while, her brows furrowed slightly, she was very suspicious.
"No problem, there will be absolutely no problems!"
With a determined face, Xiao Rin patted the back seat and said imposingly. was said by his favorite object to say such things that hurt the self-esteem of a man, of course Xiao Rin would not approve, as for the facts...... Hehe.
"Really?"
"Really!"
The letter was suspicious, and Yi Yue was pulled into the thief car by Xiao Rin.
On both sides of the path, there are sparse tall trees.
Because there are no telephone poles around, the trees have not undergone inhumane tidying, and the intertwined branches stretch out in the free space, leaving speckled light and shadow in the sunlight. Outside there were patches of neat fields, and now there was nothing growing, and it was a little ugly to be bare, but now it didn't affect Xiao Rin's mood at all.
Behind her sat a girl she liked, and she was still hugging her waist and clinging to herself. Xiao Rin's face was happy, this can be regarded as a disguised realization of a dream that was not realized in the previous world.
"Xiao Rin, where are we going, we won't just hang out like this all the time, right?" Yi Yue behind him hugged Xiao Rin's slender waist with both hands, well, it felt very soft, as if it was still very elastic.
"Let's go out on the streets, there's nothing to do right now. "She doesn't want to go shopping now, it's good to hang out like this, isn't it? However, since it was Yi Yue's request, Xiao Rin would not object.
Let's go to my house, there's a lot of fun stuff there. Yi Yue suggested, because she prefers the kind of quiet place to the trivial things like shopping, and there are many places to play near her home.
Finally, Xiao Rin stepped on his bicycle and walked to his unfamiliar place under the guidance of Yi Yue.
ใ
......
"Rin, you laughed. โ
"Well, I drank a good glass of wine and of course smiled. โ
"yes, what a good wine. โ
Xiao Rin closed his eyes and didn't drink the second cup for a long time.
She pinched her wine glass and asked Lan Xin softly, "What did Lan Er see just now?"
"I won't tell you. โ
"Stingy. โ
"And what about you, what do you see?"
โ...... I see I'm looking at the moon. โ
"Moon-watching?" Lan Xin looked at her with a little puzzlement, is moon-watching such a happy thing?
"Well~"
Standing beside the two of them, Qi Meng's reaction was unexpected. At this moment, she no longer had the smile she had before, and she squatted down with her knees hugged, burying her tear-stained cheeks in her knees. She pinched the soft flesh on her thighs and whispered, "It turns out... I still haven't forgotten it......"
And Bai Huan ...... This rabbit is really funny.
When he saw Xiao Rin and Lan Xin noticing him, Bai Huan slowly put away the heartfelt and most happy smile. Her smile was so insolent, full of wantonness. Even if it was just a quick glance, the supreme posture of grinning and wanting to bombard the sky down also left traces in the hearts of the two of them.
This is not a rabbit.
At least not this weak rabbit, whose arrogant eyes belong to the most fanatical fighters among the youkai.
The rabbit is also a youkai with a story......
Thinking like this, Xiao Rin and Lan Xin both withdrew their gaze.
For Xiao Rin, the rabbit is her friend, and no matter how she receives her, it will not change her identity as a friend. And for Lan Xin, the rabbit is already her family, no matter what her past is, and no matter where she goes in the future, she is already family.
"Rin, do you want a second drink?"
"Wait for now, the moon is so beautiful just now, let me reminisce for a while. Rin closed her eyes and remembered the smile of the beautiful woman just now, every slight change was so beautiful in her eyes. Every inch of skin, every body, every thought, completely devoted, completely integrated into that moment, as if it were at this moment.
"Bai Huan, do you want another drink?"
โ...... No, not tonight. Bai Huan at this moment is definitely not the soft rabbit, even if she has restrained her arrogant and wanton eyes, her casual smile reveals an extremely strong confidence and arrogance.
Tonight's harvest was enough for her, and if she experienced such a fierce battle scene again, she would no longer be able to suppress the frenzied battle intent in her heart. Flipping the two colors, now is not your own time.
A glass of good wine is enough.
......
After a long time, Xiao Rin opened his eyes and drank the second glass of light wine.
Second glass of wine
๏ผ
ใ
United States, on Broadway Avenue
She held the hand of the person next to her tightly, and smiled happily as she watched the growing moon.
It's as unstoppable as a flower about to bloom.
After a long wait, there is finally a result, and this result ...... So wonderful!
.........
The quiet environment, snuggling up to each other, in the hearts of the two, the people around them have long been forgotten.
Yi Yue silently looked at the person in front of her and couldn't help but reminisce. After waiting for a long time, she finally arrived, and she was still so petite at this time, she could hold it in her arms, such a feeling...... That's nice!
It seemed to hold her tightly in his arms and never let her run away again. It seems to hold her tightly in his arms, and he is no longer willing to let go. It seems to hold her tightly in his arms and close the hearts of the two!
Na~ If this is selfish, I do!
"Moon~~ Can I kiss you?"
"Well, isn't this a bit bad~~" Her cheeks suddenly turned red, and Yue looked around awkwardly~
"No, it won't!" Rare strength, Xiao Rin didn't give Yue a chance to refuse, and while she was still hesitating, he nodded his foot around her neck, and then kissed her on her warm lips. Her kiss was light, for fear of scaring her.
"Hmm~~" Gently surprised, Yue looked at the bold one in front of her in disbelief, and then closed her eyes gently, enjoying this different warmth.
On Broadway, two beautiful oriental beauties hugged each other tightly, snuggled up to each other, looked at each other with expressions, and then kissed...... They are fascinated by their own world, that beautiful ...... A world of blooming lilies.
There was sparse applause, and then countless applause.
Looking at this pair of beautiful Oriental women, the men and women around them who were originally drinking coffee put down the coffee in their hands, applauded their bravery, and sent their blessings to this pair of Oriental beauties of the same sex.
ใ
.........
"Hahahaha, hehe...... That's right, so I am. Laughing or crying, I never took them to heart, and I never had anything to be happy about. Aoba grinned under his clenched glass of depleted drink.
She used to be happy for her parents' praise, she used to laugh at her teachers' praise, and she used to think she was doing well enough. It turns out that I have never felt such a feeling of happiness as before. Mom, dad, your daughter may be like you, never like you from the bottom of her heart.
Growing up, nothing came to her mind.
What came to her mind was the scene after breaking common sense that night.
She could feel it!
Although she didn't show herself in the picture, maybe she didn't realize it herself.
Heartfelt ...... Pleasure!
"Hemuslian, you say I'm not a very bad boy. Compared with many people, I have a complete and warm family, enough money to squander my life, and even inherit the excellent genes of my father and mother, with a face that many people envy. ButใBut...... But I was never satisfied, I was never happy, I didn't even have that heartfelt affection for my parents who raised me, and I didn't even really pay attention to the friends around me...... I, didn't take them to heart, I, didn't love them......"
"So, I like you as a junior. On her shoulder, Hermuslian, who had put down the wine glass, touched her cheek affectionately, and comforted the junior he liked with a gentle look like a mother.
"Why?"
"You've heard that kid tell me about my upbringing. โ
"Well, she took the place of the world, became the tree of the world, and became the great mother goddess of the primitive race. โ
"Yes, I gave up the world that raised me. I want to see, I want to see what kind of existence it will be outside the world, for other creatures it is all, it is all the world, it is too small for me! A long, long time ago, I also had my own world, my own world, the friends around me...... I gave them up, they were so small to me that I had forgotten about them. โ
"You, just follow the path of your heart, whether it's a friend, whether it's a parent, or the world...... Don't care, don't pay attention, they're just a little bit of the scenery on your road. When you step through the shackles they have placed on you, you will see the reality of this vast world. I'm so convinced. โ
"Really......"
"Yes. โ
That being the case, why haven't the tears on your face faded?
