15 Chapter XIII
This time the phoenix flew quite steadily, and it didn't let me roll around in my sleeve pocket, but the road was a little farther away, and I woke up after sleeping in my pocket for two years, only to feel that the whirring wind in my ears stopped, thinking that it was here.
"This boy wants to be ferried?" Suddenly, an old hoarse voice sounded.
"Exactly, it's troublesome old man." A sway, thinking that the phoenix stepped on the boat. It turned out that I had to cross the river when I went to the demon world.
"The son is standing firmly, and the fairy in his sleeve pocket is also holding firmly, and the old man will start the boat!" The old man shouted.
"Hmm~ The fairy in his sleeve pocket is holding it firm?" Phoenix repeated it leisurely.
How did you find out one or two?
I slipped out of my sleeve pocket and turned into a human form, looked up, clapped my hands, and said, "Oops! I slept in the wrong place last night. It's really unfortunate, it's not coincidental. โ
The phoenix hooked the corners of her lips, put her hands behind her back, and ignored me. I smiled, looked around, a small boat swayed forward, there was no water under the boat, not to mention the river, between the two banks of the bottomless, although there was no water, in the boat you can hear the sound of the water hitting the bottom of the boat, you can also feel the feeling of the water waves shaking, it is strange.
I just stretched out my hand, wanting to take a handful of this unnecessary water, but I didn't know what hit my hand, and I was startled and retracted, but it turned out to be a phoenix feather knocked on my hand.
"This is the Lethe River." The phoenix retracted the phoenix feathers, "If you don't want to feed the ghosts and ghosts under the river, stand firm." โ
I took my hand reservedly, looked up and saw the old man staring at me, and smiled happily at him. Phoenix coughed lightly and frowned, "What about the lock hairpin?" โ
"Lost." I answered truthfully, and when I saw that his face sank, I hurriedly added: "I went to the marriage mansion yesterday to drive the clouds in a hurry, and I think it fell into the clouds." โ
The phoenix was about to speak, but the grandfather of the boat interjected: "The old man has guarded this Lechuan River for more than 100,000 years, and the second time I saw a girl like this." โ
Well, this grandfather's business is a little colder, and he has only seen two girls in more than 100,000 years.
"I still remember that 20,000 years ago, a woman came and asked the old man for a handful of Lechuan water. The woman was born with a beautiful face, and flowers bloomed step by step on the road, and her face was admittedly beautiful but her expression was sad, not as bright and innocent as you, girl. โ
"And then?" I asked with great interest, thinking that if I went back to hear an interesting story with the fox fairy, he would be very happy.
"Later? Later, a boy in brocade chased on the shore, and hurriedly knocked the water in the girl's hand into the ground, and after a dispute between the two, the girl jumped into the Lethe River, and the boy in brocade was in a hurry, and stopped the girl back like crazy, and then the two disappeared together. โ
"Lethe River, forget the river, forget to look back on the river." Grandpa shook his head and sighed.
It turned out to be an anticlimactic story, and I couldn't help but be disappointed. But the phoenix looked at me thoughtfully, and made a deep appearance.
Between the words has been to the other side, the phoenix took a Laojun's elixir and the grandfather of the boat as the fare, the first to get off the boat, I got off the boat when I looked up at first glance to see the situation of the demon world, a foot on the edge of the boat did not stand firm, rushed forward, fortunately the phoenix turned back in time, just caught me.
I touched the sore bridge of my nose and lifted it out of his arms, but he paused, spread his hand holding me, and suddenly walked forward without looking back. Moody, moody, I steadied my steps and almost fell again, chasing after me.
The sky of the Demon Realm was as arrogant and bright as blood, and the green and faint fire was flying around, and the ghosts were longing, I trembled, and said in a thin voice: "That...... Phoenix, you wait for me...... I...... I'm afraid of ghosts. โ
The phoenix in front finally stopped, turned around, smiled at the corner of his mouth, and said with a smile: "What the hell are you afraid of, a goblin." โ
I thought about it, and yes. If you think about it again, it's not right, I'm an elf, not a demon. Fortunately, the phoenix finally stopped leaving me, so I didn't bother with him, picked up the road and followed him.
Halfway through, the phoenix used illusion to change the appearance of both of us, and the robes on our bodies also turned into gray colors, and said to me: "You have to follow me, but from today in the demon world, you will be my personal maid, and I will protect you from being caught by ghosts." "I thought about it, I had been a scholar for a hundred years, and there was no difference between his personal maids, so I promised.
The demon world is very lively, and although the monsters walking around the street are all roughly humanoid, they always have something more on their bodies, or drag their tails, or top to horns, or fangs, I am dizzying and happy to see.
A little monster who only reached my waist came to meet him, held a big tray, and flattered him and said to the phoenix: "This devil, buy a tail." It's all fresh, and people can't see the real body when they are equipped with quasi-insurance! โ
Phoenix shook her head, her eyes reluctant to catch a glance. I looked at it with great interest, it was really a big plate of tails, stacked with oxtails, sheep's tails, rabbit tails, fish tails, and bird tails, I reached out and flipped over them, soft and hot, and it was really fresh and realistic. Then he asked the little demon: "This tail is not bad, I wonder if it has ears?" โ
The little demon said repeatedly: "Yes, yes." "I hurriedly took out several pairs of ears from my pocket, and I saw a pair of long white rabbit ears at a glance, well, if there is such a pair of ears, I think that the next time Lao Hu comes to capture me, I can put it on to scare him back.
The little demon tsk: "The demon girl has a good eye, this rabbit's ears are changed according to the ears of the jade rabbit of the Guanghan Palace." I touched the rabbit's ears and put them in my arms, and the phoenix sneered, "It's just a trick." โ
Just as he was about to leave, the little demon hurriedly called: "The demon girl hasn't paid yet?" โ
"What is money?" I looked back in confusion.
The little demon stared at him and paused. On the side, he suddenly โกโก a pair of hands and threw a silver thing to the little demon, "I paid for this demon girl." โ
When I turned around, I saw a monster in a dark robe leading a deer and smiling at me. Hehe, it's really warm everywhere in the demon world.
The phoenix had a cold face, took out a piece of red gold and threw it to the little demon, and took back the silver ingot thrown by the monster and returned it to him, "My maid will naturally pay for the purchase, how can I bother the hall." โ
The monster took the silver ingot with a disappreciative face, and said, "Since it is a family, why is it 'annoying'." โ
Family? The heavenly family is really magical, this phoenix first had a fox as an uncle, and now there is a monster who is related to him. I looked at the monster, and it was familiar.
Phoenix smiled faintly, "I haven't seen you for a long time, why did the main hall get interested in visiting this demon world today?" โ
"I heard that Brother Feng asked for his life to go to the Demon Realm, and my brother was inevitably curious, I don't know what a terrible public case is, but the God of Fire has to come forward in person." The monster's voice was very kind.
The phoenix stroked his sleeves and said indifferently: "The demon beasts and the evil ghosts are fighting each other, creating demon fires and setting plagues, affecting innocents, and corpses are everywhere. Is it a big deal? โ
"In this way, I should also go together for my brother to help him." The monster suddenly turned to me, "Fairy Jinmi, don't come unharmed. After speaking, he reached out and gently touched the neck of the deer beside him.
I took a closer look at the fawn and remembered, "Little fish fairy?" โ
The little fish fairy smiled warmly, "It's where life doesn't meet." โ
"Little Fish Fairy?" Phoenix repeated expressionlessly, "I don't want the two of you to meet." โ
"Yes, I happened to meet it yesterday when Runyu Immortal was releasing deer." I said to him.
"Herding deer? Fish? I wonder when the temple of the night god didn't even make a dragon, but wanted to be a fish? โ
Runyu Immortal lowered his head and smiled, "Since the god of fire is a crow, it doesn't hurt me to be a fish." โ
After asking and answering like this, I finally knew that this little fish fairy was actually the true dragon night god of the phoenix's brother. It turns out that the scaly tail is not necessarily a fish, it may also be a low-key dragon.
Since then, the little fish fairy has followed us all the way, and the phoenix's face has become more and more cold, I really don't know how such a cold person as him became the god of fire.
Staying at the hotel at night, Phoenix asked for a suite and ordered me to live in the outer room, and said as a matter of course: "You are my personal maid, so naturally you have to serve your daily life." "The little fish fairy stayed next door.
I slept until midnight when the phoenix said that he was thirsty and called me to bring water to him, I went downstairs in a daze and wanted to look for the little ghost in the shop to ask for a pot of tea, but I didn't want to see the deer of the night god shrunk at the mouth of the wooden ladder and looked at me, strange and pitiful, I thought I was also afraid of ghosts, so I took the water and brought it back to the guest room.
In the early morning of the second day, I looked for a handful of grass in the backyard of the inn to feed the deer, but it stiffened its neck and refused to eat, and someone behind him smiled lightly, and turned around to see the night god standing there, and said: "Jin looking for the fairy and don't embarrass it, my deer is called the 'Nightmare Beast', only eats dreams, but can't eat grass." Just release it at night, and it will seek out nightmares to eat it. โ
I patted the fawn and praised: "Sure enough, the heavenly baby, it's so interesting." The deer suddenly hiccuped, and I touched its round belly, thinking that I had eaten many nightmares last night, and now I held on.
"Two guest officers, breakfast is ready, the demon in the store thinks he is hungry and panicked, and his face is not good, so he invited the two guest officers to dine." The imp poked his head outside the courtyard gate.
I said to the night god: "Why don't you eat first, I see that this little deer has eaten enough, and I will lead it around this yard to eliminate food." โ
The night god smiled, "It's fine." โ
After he left, I pinched the belly of the beast left and right, "Can you eat dreams, maybe vomit dreams?" Spit out a dream and look at it with me. "It dodged from side to side, but I wrapped around it, rubbing its belly around.
I thought that the beast had eaten it, and finally it really vomited something the size of a night pearl, and I was about to reach out and pinch the bead, but the bead suddenly disappeared and melted into the earth.
In an instant, a thin layer of light appeared on the ground, and I squatted aside to watch it with great interest. The scenery in the image is a little familiar, and I recalled that it seemed to be the disembarkation place of the Lethe River ferry yesterday. I saw that on the edge of the Void Forgotten River, a beautiful and upright man was holding a woman standing, the light and shadow slowly changed, and when it swept to the man's face, I took a closer look, it was the phoenix.
The woman was lying on the phoenix's chest, she couldn't see it clearly, but she slowly raised her head, and the phoenix slowly lowered her head.
In this way, this is too much of the "spring dream" that the fox fairy said.
This nightmare beast slept in my room with the phoenix yesterday, and I rarely dreamed, thinking that this spring dream was the phoenix's.
I watched with great interest the phoenix and the woman kissing and kissing in this light and shadow, kissing and kissing, and then the woman gasped, and the phoenix could be regarded as letting her go, but still wrapped her arms around her waist, and the woman leaned on his chest with a weak willow and turned her crimson face around.
Very familiar.
I took a picture of my face through a small puddle in the courtyard and compared it.
In the end, I came to a conclusion that the woman in the light and shadow did look exactly like me.
