Chapter 6: The Evil Suit in White
At the end of the path was a deserted palace, pushing aside the vines that stood in the way, Xiao Zhao'er raised her head and couldn't help but be shocked by the scene in front of her.
It is completely different from the decadent and barren scene just now, and what catches the eye is a fresh and tranquil atmosphere.
Under the bright moonlight, there is a field of thousands of flowers in full bloom. The flowers bloom dazzlingly, white like silky milk, black like clear gemstones, red as bright as blood, and blue as pure and transparent. Purple and red are blooming. A small clear river runs through the flower fields, and the water is covered with scattered petals. The breeze blows, stirring up ripples. Around the field of flowers stood a few verdant foxtail pines, and the man who played the song was now sitting diagonally on the top branch of the pine.
The man was dressed in white, embedded in the thick black night, and looked a little lonely. The moonlight sprinkled on his face and reflected Xiao Zhao'er's eyes. His eyes were indescribably deep, like a jar of wine that had been stored for thousands of years. The corners of his mouth curled slightly, as if he was smiling and as if he was not smiling. His whole person exudes a lazy and dangerous temperament, but it is so seductive.
This person is really good-looking, Xiao Zhao'er stood there like this, thinking blankly, the so-called demon is probably like this.
Suddenly, a chuckle woke up Xiao Zhao'er, who was committing a nymphomaniac. The man in the tree smiled and said, "Have you seen enough?" ”
Xiao Zhao'er suddenly felt that her cheeks were a little burning.
Coughing lightly, Xiao Zhao'er said solemnly: "This brother, it is very immoral to play a tune at night. It can affect the quality of others' sleep, and can frighten passers-by and sleepwalkers, causing accidental casualties. I happened to be passing by here, and I was afraid that you would get into a lawsuit, so I kindly reminded you. ”
The man was stunned when he heard this, and then nodded seriously.
"Thank you, girl, for the reminder." The man looked at Xiao Zhao'er, his lips hooked slightly, and there was a hint of banter in his tone. "It's just that there are no people in a radius of ten miles here, and I happen to pass by like a girl, and I've only seen you in the past few hundred years, I want to cause a lawsuit, I'm afraid it's not easy."
Xiao Zhao'er felt that her cheeks burned even more.
Really, the more you say it, the more wrong it becomes, and you simply don't explain it.
After a moment of thought, Xiao Zhao'er asked curiously: "Just now you said that no one has been here for hundreds of years. But it's so beautiful here, why doesn't anyone come? "Could it be that the aesthetics of the demon people are completely different from hers?
Xiao Zhao'er was thinking about it, but she heard the man say lightly: "Because this is a forbidden place, trespassers need to be punished by cutting off their bones." ”
Xiao Zhao'er was so shocked that she almost sat on the ground, thinking that she wouldn't be so sad. When he looked up and saw the teasing smile on the man's face, he was a little puzzled.
If it's really a forbidden place, why is he here? This guy can't lie to her, right?
"I snuck in, too." The man seemed to see what she was thinking, and explained in a casual tone. "You're new here, aren't you?"
Xiao Zhao'er nodded. In fact, she has been here for two months, but she has been locked in the house by the snake queen to learn things, and she has no chance to come out and walk around and contact with people outside, so she is still very unfamiliar with everything in the Demon Palace, and she is almost the same as a newcomer.
"Where do you do things?" The man asked again.
"Kamizao Temple".
"Oh?" The man's eyes deepened a little, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a playful smile, "You work under Snake Queen?" ”
Xiao Zhao'er nodded, and rehearsed what Snake Ji taught her in advance. "I'm a newly recruited singing and dancing girl from my lord, and I'm going to perform for the Demon Venerable and all the adults at the Streamer Banquet."
Looking at Xiao Zhao'er's decent, neither humble nor arrogant appearance, the man smiled and said, "I don't think you look like a song and dance girl at all." ”
You have a vision. Xiao Zhao'er thought to herself, just smiled on her face, and didn't explain anything.
"I've introduced myself, shouldn't you say something?" Xiao Zhao'er looked at the man and raised her eyebrows and asked.
"What do you want to know?" The man said lazily.
"What do you do?"
"Just like you, performing at the Streamer Banquet."
"You're also a musician?" Xiao Zhao'er was a little surprised. It doesn't look like his temperament, although his tunes are really good.
"What did you just brag about?" Xiao Zhao'er asked curiously. It doesn't sound like a flute or a flute, but it sounds lighter and more beautiful than those instruments. The man spread out his palm, and a heart-shaped purple leaf appeared in front of Xiao Zhao'er's eyes.
"This is a thousand dragon leaves?" The leaf was ordinary, as if it were just a random one pulled out of a field of flowers. Xiao Zhao'er stared at it with some curiosity, a little bit unbelieving that such a small leaf could blow so many melodies.
"Don't look at its small blades, it's more complex than any instrument you know." Looking at Xiao Zhao'er's frowning appearance, the man chuckled.
Xiao Zhao'er casually pulled down a leaf from the surrounding flowers, put it to her mouth and blew it a few times, but the leaf only made a whining sound.
"I just said that it has a complex structure, how can it be blown out of mouth?" The man laughed, and when he saw Xiao Zhao'er pouting in annoyance, he felt soft in his heart, and said, "If you want to learn, I can teach you." ”
"Really?" Xiao Zhao'er's eyes were bright, and the surprise in her eyes was obvious.
The man smiled and nodded.
"Then how am I going to find you in the future?"
The man thought for a while and said, "I always play chess in the small garden in front of the glazed hall in the evening, you can go there to find me." ”
"It's a deal."
Seeing that the sky was already white, Xiao Zhao'er thought about it and had to go back before the dew woke up, so she raised her head and said goodbye to the man in white. "Well, actually, I couldn't sleep before I sneaked out. I'll have to go back, or I'll be scolded if I let Lady Snake know about it." Goodbye. ”
Xiao Zhao'er walked a few steps, then turned back to look at the man, and said with a somewhat mischievous smile, "The matter of the forbidden land is our secret." I'll help you keep it secret, and you have to keep it secret for me. ”
The man raised an eyebrow, "What forbidden place?" Have we ever been to the Forbidden Land? ”
Xiao Zhao'er laughed, this person is really good.
"Of course, we are all good citizens of the Demon Realm. How could he do such a violation of discipline and law? Xiao Zhao'er also restrained her smile and said seriously. Then he hugged his fist, "Brother, there will be a period later." ”
"There will be a date later." The man raised his eyebrows, and he also learned from her to clench his fists and reply.
Seeing her back gradually fade away, the man gradually restrained the smile on the corner of his mouth and beckoned to the side.
"Qiyu Demon Venerable, according to the investigation of his subordinates, that woman was taken back from outside the palace by Snake Ji that day, her name is Xiao Zhao'er, and she is a little ghost in the underworld." A demon guard dressed in black and silver-trimmed armor appeared from the flowers next to him and walked up to the man to report.
"Snake Queen, this is going to play beauty tricks with me." A contemptuous smile appeared at the corner of the man's mouth, "Send someone to continue to keep an eye on Snake Hime's every move." In addition, the demons who are close to her are also recorded, and reliable people are sent to monitor them. ”
"Where's the Daredevil?"
"He doesn't have to."
"Yes", the demon guard asked again, "What should I do with that Xiao Zhao'er?" ”
"Don't startle the snake yet." The man replied lazily, a wicked smile on his lips, "I'll play with her." ”
There is no reason not to eat the food that is delivered to your mouth.
"Xiao Zhao'er", Han Chen said softly as he played with the Qianlong flowers and leaves in his hand, remembering the girl's clear smile like spring water just now, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously raised.
