Valle also looked at it and frowned: "Where are the lanterns, are you dazzled?" ”

I hurriedly pointed downstairs and said, "Look, Brother Qiqi ...... him."

I lowered my head and looked downstairs, but I couldn't see the seven chaff.

My heart suddenly struck, isn't it, here, how could such a lantern suddenly appear in the air? Isn't there a demon going on again?

Looking at my appearance, petal suddenly showed a sudden realization: "Mei Cai, maybe you also heard about the legend about lanterns, and knew that my sister was timid, so she came to scare my sister, right?" Why is your kid learning so badly now? It's really annoying. He slapped me on the shoulder.

I hurriedly said: "Sister, I didn't lie, I really saw it just now, but what kind of legend is the legend that my sister said?" ”

Valle looked at me as if she was lying, so she frowned and asked, "Don't you really know?" Isn't Mo deliberately pretending? ”

"No sister is well-informed!" I begged, "Sister will tell me?" ”

Only then did Valle say in a squirming manner: "It's no wonder that you don't know, such a strange legend, or the man next to him deliberately taught my sister to rely on him in order to scare my sister, so I told it to make my sister afraid, so naturally no one will say anything to you." ”

Under the urging again and again, Valle told how many men were like this for her, and then said: "It is said that people who go out at night can always feel that there is a lantern behind them to follow them, illuminating the night road for themselves, and the light of the lantern behind them is faintly coming through, but the strange thing is that they can't shine their shadows." ”

I wondered, "The lantern is shining from behind, and my shadow should be in front?" It's really weird. ”

Valle sneered: "You are in a hurry, and listen to my sister said slowly, this person, when you encounter this kind of thing, you will naturally be suspicious, most of them will look back and see, what kind of person is holding the lantern behind you, but as soon as you turn around, you can see that the lantern is just floating behind you out of thin air, no one has carried it at all, but if you see the lantern, this person, you will be a stand-in for La, instead of the ghost who plays the lantern, and illuminate the people who walk at night!" ”

"Looking for a stand-in...... I only felt sweat and eyes were cold on my back.

"Yes, unless, you let the lantern shine behind you, never look back, and you can't see the true face of the lantern floating in the air, so that you can get home safely, and when you enter the house, the lantern will be extinguished with a "flutter", and then go to illuminate the ...... for the next passerby."

A thousand nights

"I see," I said to myself, "Could it be that the lantern is the one who is looking for a substitute in my sister's mouth......"

Valle didn't hear clearly, but asked: "You are looking at the lantern and the seven chaff, should you also look at the talent of the seven chaff?" My sister advises you not to think about it, in his eyes, he can probably only see his sister alone......"

I couldn't listen to it anymore, so I thought about it and decided to go downstairs to see what it was, but when I got downstairs, there was no shadow of Seven Rings, and I didn't know where his house was, so I really had no choice, so I wanted to find Fluttershy who knew about it, but Fluttershy didn't know where to go, so I had no choice but to go home with a stomach full of worries, and I wondered as I went, when did the legend of this lantern arise? I, who walk day and night, have never heard of it.

I was worried all night, I was afraid that something would happen to Qiling, and on the second day, I finally survived until the time when Qiling came to the Yanyu Pavilion, but I saw Qiling still standing well and setting up a lantern under the tree, I hurriedly went over and asked: "Brother Qiling, I don't know if you came home yesterday, but what is abnormal?" ”

Qiqi glanced at me inexplicably and said, "No, I was too tired yesterday and went back early, what's wrong?" ”

He didn't seem to know anything about the lantern, so he said it rashly for fear of scaring him, so he had to ask sideways: "I don't know where Brother Qiling lives?" Do I have to light a lantern on the way home? ”

Qiling smiled: "I'm used to walking at night, and the moon was big yesterday, so I don't make a big lantern." Why did you remember to ask this today? ”

I had no choice but to laugh dryly and said, "Mei Cai heard that there is a lantern demon looking for a stand-in here......"

"What about it?" When Qili heard it, he couldn't help laughing: "It's been a long time, for this story, scaring children, do you believe it?" If someone is found to be a stand-in in this way, who knows that there is no turning back? It's nonsense! ”

I smiled embarrassedly, but I was very concerned about this matter in my heart, the demons and ghosts in the Xuanyin Land are good and bad, naturally they can't be killed with a stick, I just don't know what the origin of this one followed by Qiling, but looking at Qiqi doesn't seem to be a big problem, I'm afraid it's also one of those little monsters in Li Qitang's mouth who is happy to disturb people.

But I promised Longjing, no matter how big or small, I would report it when the investigation was clear, so I still planned to pay more attention.

was in a daze, Qiqi suddenly said: "My sister, maybe she is stuffy at home, but she likes to listen to these strange legends the most. ”

When Fluttershy said this, I remembered what Fluttershy had said about Sister Nanachi's illness, and I was worried for a while, so I asked, "I wonder what kind of illness that sister in Brother Nanachi's family had?" Have these days gotten better? "[Korean entertainment] power world is here

Qilu's delicate face was suddenly shrouded in a shadow, and he said in a low voice: "My sister, born with a weak disease of lack of qi and blood, she has no strength in her body, and it is not easy to get out of bed to do anything. I had to find some local methods and try them slowly, but it didn't get any good. ”

"I see...... I couldn't help but be very sympathetic, so I asked: "Brother, a big man takes care of my sister, I'm afraid it will be inconvenient, if you are free, Mei Cai will go over to help, okay?" ”

Qiqi laughed when he heard this, and hurriedly said, "Isn't it great!" My sister is often suffocated by herself, and she can't come down to go out to play, if you can accompany me for a while, it's also good, brother can thank you a lot. ”

I agreed, and when I went back, I prepared some snacks, and then I went to their house with the seven chaff.

The Qiling family lives in the east end of Ziyuchai Street, like an old house with years, but the yard is very neat and tidy, there is no clutter, the windows are bright and clean, and the lantern-making utensils are also neatly stacked in the side room, so you can see that this Qiqi Pingsu is a hard-working and capable person.

When I entered the main room, I saw that although the furniture was old, it was dusty, and it was very clean, but the nose was full of medicinal fragrance, so that people knew that there was still a patient in the house when they smelled it.

Nanaka let me into the back room and pushed open the wooden door with peeling vermilion paint, and it was Nanaka's sister's boudoir.

A woman in her early twenties was sitting on the bed, holding a book in her hand, wearing a homely half-worn royal blue shirt, loosely holding a bun, with only a mahogany hairpin on her head, reflecting a frosty and snow-like face, with delicate facial features, very similar to the seven chaff, looking exceptionally plain.

Qiling hurriedly said: "Sister, this is the plum vegetable I told you, I usually take good care of me, and I gave our family a lot of snacks last time, but this time I am free, come and talk to you." ”

I hurriedly saluted and said hello, and Sister Qiqi reluctantly returned the salute, and said softly: "Miss Mei is polite, the first time we met, I am Qijue, the sister of Qiling, thank you for coming to visit." ”

Seeing that this Qijue girl was weak, her face was slightly red, and she was a little powerless, so I hurriedly said: "Sister Qijue, don't be polite, let's just sit in peace!" Mei Cai is here to visit her sister, isn't it more than worth the loss to be tired of my sister! I don't usually pay attention to many etiquette, and my sister is not polite. ”

Miss Qijue smiled: "What an understanding girl, thank you for taking care of us like this." I have heard that your family's dim sum is famous in Ziyuchai Street and even in the entire capital, and it is indeed worthy of its reputation. "The princess of the Exo Cold-blooded Clan

I smiled and said, "My sister has won the prize!" Then he put down what he brought today: "Sister keeps it and eats it slowly, it's some pine nut candy, osmanthus cake, mille-feuille crisp and the like, and it's just right to pass the time with tea when you're free." ”

Miss Qijue said that she was breaking the fee, and I asked, "How is my sister feeling today?" ”

Miss Qijue replied sadly: "It's still the same, I hate this body so much, I can't do any work, I only drag my younger brother down." ”

Qilu replied: "Sister, don't think nonsense, blood is thicker than water, you are my dearest person, you have a good body, and you are stronger than anything else." ”

As he spoke, he confessed to me and went to boil water and make tea to entertain me.

The Qijue girl saw Qijun go out, wiped her tears, and said: "If it weren't for me, he must have gotten married and had children, so as not to delay like this, sometimes I want to die, but I can live a long life, if for me, I beat a single, he went down to the underworld, and my ancestors must not be able to spare me......"

I hurriedly said: "Sister Qijue, don't say that, you are still young, your body will always get better slowly, Brother Qijue is capable, and a good day is just around the corner!" ”

When the Qijue girl heard this, she burst into tears and laughed, and said: "You little girl is very good at speaking auspicious words, if there is really such a day, I must thank you." ”

I smiled, saw that Miss Qijue read old books, and asked casually, "What kind of book is my sister reading?" ”

Miss Qijue hurriedly said: "Seeing the smile, it looks vassally elegant, when I was a child, there was a private school gentleman in the neighborhood, followed Bai to listen to a few lessons, about a few words, I don't want to come in handy now, lying down at home and suffocating, Brother Yang bought an old book of fairies, demons, foxes and ghosts to read." ”

As he spoke, he turned the book over, but saw that there were a few ink-drenched words written on the book cover, "The Legend of the Peaceful Demon and the Exorcism of Ghosts".

I couldn't help laughing: "Sister's hobby is weird and chic." ”

The Qijue girl hurriedly said: "Speaking of which, the girl seems to be a famous dragon god messenger on Ziyuchai Street?" ”

I smiled and said: "It's just a good name, Mei Cai is just running errands and doing groceries under the seat of the dragon god, regularly placing the little girl who is enshrined, helping the dragon god to investigate some strange things, the dragon god has shown his magical powers, and I will follow the light." ”

When the Qijue girl heard this, she hurriedly grabbed my hand and said continuously: "If this is the case, then my sister dares to beg you for one thing, please ask the Dragon God to protect you?" ”

"Huh?" I hurriedly asked, "What's the matter with my sister?" ”
