"Hmm~~~" Xue Yan stretched her waist vividly, stretched her slender arms, rubbed her sleepy eyes, and found herself lying under a tree that was green and shaped like a sycamore, and there was a peerless beauty in white clothes and yellow skirts kneeling beside her, she was looking at herself with a pair of concerned jade eyes, and asked, "Yan'er, are you better?" ”

Xue Yan nodded slowly, looking at this piece of heaven and earth in astonishment, the earth is mostly composed of red clay, the surface temperature is slightly higher, and there are only some turquoise sycamores around, because there are many demon fogs like fire clouds in the forest, the visibility is not very high, but you can still see a strong light in the sky, a fiery red sphere shaped like the sun, and the light ball illuminates the world a warm red, dyeing the floating clouds on the horizon red.

"Where is this?" Xue Yan looked at this fantasy realm curiously and asked Yun Meng, "Aren't we already dead?" ”

Yun Meng shook his head quietly and said, "If you guessed correctly, we are now in Lishu Mountain." ”

"Lishu Mountain?" Xue Yan recalled carefully, nodded hurriedly, and said, "Yes, yes, yes!" I remember that I was trying to save the stupid melon, and somehow I was swept into it by a red vortex, and then I came here. Thinking of this, he leaned over to Yunmeng and asked, "By the way, I remember that you were the closest to him at that time, and what about him now?" ”

"He ......" Yun Meng closed his jade eyes, folded his hands on Luo Skirt, shook his head gently, and said in a slightly trembling voice: "I didn't hold him...... He was so badly injured that his life and death were uncertain, but ...... But you're unconscious, and I can't leave you alone, so I've been delayed for a whole day......" As soon as she thought of Han Ye, Situ Yunmeng's nose was sour, and she covered her mouth and cried, which was really different from her beautiful image.

Xue Yan saw Yun Meng open her heart and cry, she didn't blame her at all, and suddenly thought, "When I'm alone, don't I cry like her?" What's the difference between her and me? If the melon is not here, I must take good care of her and not let her be wronged again! ”

So Xue Yan strengthened her belief, stood up, and said angrily with her hands on her hips: "Little Mengmeng, you big fool!" Do you think you're the only one in the world worried about him? What's the use of crying! Can you bring him back to tears! Now the Taoist priests of Shushan, the dumb melon girl, and the little mouse are all gone! We're going to get him back together! I need your help! ”

"Retrieved? Need my help? Yun Meng stopped crying, looked at this vast realm in confusion, and said worriedly: "It's so big here, and it's a place where goblins gather, it's too difficult......"

"So we're going to be together! All I have is you! Come! Xue Yan bent down, put her left hand on her lap, and stretched out her right hand to Yunmeng, the shadows of the trees were mottled, and the breeze blew her azure ribbon, she was like a beam of sunlight shining on the stream, and smiled clearly: "Do you know? Xiao Mengmeng, after you left that time, the stupid melon was very sluggish, and I pulled him up like this, I said that I would accompany him to chase you back. Now that he's gone, would you like me to accompany you to him? ”

"Yan'er?" Yun Meng's heart was mixed, this Xue Yan, who seemed to be unpleasant to each other at first, has now become the only person she can rely on, she really doesn't know what to say, she got up, hugged Xue Yan tightly, and cried: "You, you are so good!" ”

Xue Yan was at a loss, patted Yun Meng's back, and said, "Alas, I delayed your time to find him, and I will do my best to make up for it from now on, don't worry." ”

Yun Meng nodded, and said excitedly: "Thank you, thank you, Yan'er~!" ”

Xue Yan was deeply immersed in the fragrance of Yunmeng, her heart was extremely open-minded, she smiled and said with relief: "Okay, okay, let's leave quickly, it only matters to get the stupid melon back." ”

Soon, in this remote place, the hearts of the two daughters' families were united, and they both had a common goal, that is, to get back the seriously injured and separated Han Ye.

Speaking of Lishu Mountain, this demon world that has gone through many years of vicissitudes has obviously changed a lot with the passage of time. Now, it is centered on a winding leyline like a dragon, and it is filled with all kinds of primordial aura, which has been refined by many demons, and most of them have been transformed into demonic energy.

Many years ago, the demon lord Burning Sky had recruited many demons in the human world and the ghost world, chanting the slogan of "Revitalizing the Demon Clan".

Many demons and demon lords have worked together to build and build for many years, and finally built a huge demon city called "Red Flame City" in the center of Lishu Mountain. This city is built by leaning on the earth's veins, stretching for thousands of miles, magnificent, divided into thirty-six districts according to the number of Tiangang, the residents in the city are naturally mostly demons, but the burning sky is in line with the principle of recruiting talents, and also receives some creatures who are dedicated to goodness, but only counting the demon clan, the total number of residents inside and outside the city reaches tens of millions, far from being comparable to the cities in the world.

At this time, Situ Yunmeng and Xue Yan stood on the edge of this huge city, looking up at the city wall as high as twenty or thirty zhang, looking down at the moat that was more than ten zhang wide, the scenery within the city gate was prosperous, and along the mountain range, the city area was endless!

Yun Meng looked at the city carefully, but saw that on the city wall, there was a post in five steps, a post in ten steps, and many monsters with strong physiques and armor stood there. Seeing that the garrison was so tight, Yun Meng couldn't help but ask Xue Yan in a low voice: "Yan'er, I heard from the mice, they are very repulsive to us people, can you get in?" ”

"Try it first, and then find a way." Xue Yan looked those soldiers up and down, and said: "Since Lishu Mountain is such a city, I estimate that there is a chance that the foolish melon will end up here, even if he is not there, it is better to go in and find out the news than to blindly look for it outside, right?" ”

"Well, it's all up to you, Yan'er." Yun Meng nodded, and it happened that a group of pig demons were about to enter the city, so the two of them carefully lowered their heads and followed behind, walking towards the city.

As soon as everyone got on the bridge of the moat, the front guards had already smelled a refreshing fragrance of flowers, the closer Yunmeng got closer, the aroma became stronger and stronger, and the aroma even attracted the captain of the guard, the doghead essence's face tightened, and he shouted to the crowd entering the city: "Stop!" ”

The pig demons stopped with blank expressions, Yun Meng and Xue Yan were both shocked in their hearts, and quietly glanced at each other.

The kobold first sniffed at the pig demons, fanned his nose, and drove away in disgust: "Stinky to death, stinky to death, let's go!" All in! The pig demons looked at each other, shrugged their shoulders, and headed for the city.

Xue Yan saw that the pig demons had entered, so she quickly pulled the corner of Yunmeng's clothes, motioned for the two to follow up, and was about to get through the trick, but the kobold had already discovered them, and pointed at the two angrily: "Hey, I didn't tell you to leave!" You two, come with me! With that, he took the second daughter to a no-man's land behind the city gate.

"Not good." Yun Meng nervously whispered to Xue Yan, "He, he must recognize that we are not demons." ”

"Don't panic, it may be the scent on your body that attracts him." Xue Yan grabbed Yun Meng's hand and whispered, "Be steady, I'll improvise." ”

The kobold came to Yun Meng's side and sniffed, looking at her with a serious face, Yun Meng knew that he was about to attack, so he hurriedly covered his face with his plain sleeves, but saw that the kobold's face suddenly changed from serious to reverence, haha gasped twice, and said excitedly: "The fairy is so fragrant!" ”

Xue Yan and Yun Meng both fell.

Yun Meng and Xue Yan got up with each other, Yun Meng frowned and said, "You, do you know who I am?" ”

The kobold said without thinking: "Of course I know! ”

Yun Meng asked tentatively again, "You don't hate me?" “

The kobold scratched his head and laughed, "Why do you hate it? Chiyan City is full of these goblins coming and going, and it is rare to have a fairy, even if it is a mortal, at least it won't be so boring! As he spoke, he blinked at Xue Yan.

Xue Yan put her hand on her forehead and said angrily: "I don't know what it is." If you don't hate it, why are you calling us back? ”

"Well...... Haha......" The dog head scratched his head and smirked, staring at Yun Meng embarrassedly, seeing that she was uncomfortable, then said: "Nothing else, I just want to invite you, go to my house to sit, I just look at you pleasing to the eye, nothing else!" ”

"Hey, hey, hey!" Xue Yan crossed her arms and said impatiently: "You are guarding the city now, how can you have the spare time to ask someone to sit at your house?" Besides, when people see you like this, who wants to go? ”

"I want you to talk a lot!" The kobold glanced at Xue Yan unhappily, then turned his head and stuck out his tongue, panting excitedly: "Fairy, just enjoy your face, I am also a decent man and a gentleman, I really just invite you to go to my house to sit, and have no other intentions." Seeing Yun Meng's hesitant expression, he lowered his ears again, and pouted in frustration: "Doesn't the fairy think I look ugly?" ”

"Nope." Yun Meng said indifferently: "Heaven and earth are equal, you have a passion, ten times better than some mortals." ”

"Wow~!" The kobold wiped his tears with his arm and said with tears in his eyes: "I'll just say that I didn't see the wrong person!" You're so good! People are good, and so are hearts! Since you are so considerate of our goblins, I won't force you to stay, hurry up and go into the city to find your sweetheart, while I haven't changed my mind yet! Wow~! ”

Situ Yunmeng and Xue Yan were shocked when they heard this, but Xue Yan quickly calmed down and smiled uncomfortably: "Where, where is it?" Who are you looking for? ”

Mastiff Xing said disdainfully: "You human girl is eccentric, don't make up any more messy stories to fool me." He whispered to Yun Meng: "Fairy, my grandfather is the Iron Knife Dog King!" My ancestors passed down a kind of mind-smelling technique for generations, and by smelling the smell, I could get the thoughts in the hearts of beings from all walks of life except ghosts, so they asked me to guard the door. I have known many races from the outside world, but I am so touched by the fact that you honestly tell me what you think in your heart! ”

Situ Yunmeng nodded, and whispered to Mastiff Xing: "You help us like this, aren't you afraid of being punished from above?" ”

Mastiff Xing spread his hands and said: "It doesn't matter, my ancestors are so majestic, on an equal footing with the demon lord, but I, but I am lazy by nature, so I can only guard the door, who else can blame?" ”

Situ Yunmeng sighed and asked again, "By the way, have you seen the person I'm looking for in the city recently?" He was dressed in tattered dark blue, with a sword on his back and a wine bag pinned to his waist. ”

Mastiff said: "Yes, yes, the Lord brought in a man from outside yesterday, and it was this dress. ”

Hearing this, Xue Yan glanced at Yun Meng meaningfully, and Yun Meng continued to ask, "Then, what should I do to find him?" ”

Mastiff Xing said: "I heard that the Lord deals with state affairs in Huoyun Palace most of the time, and Huoyun Palace is in the Tiankui City District in the center of Chiyan City, what about me, after all, I am a gatekeeper, I can't take you to see him, you have to think more about how to go to him, he is not close to women." ”

"Thanks for the reminder." Situ Yunmeng saluted Mastiff Xing and said, "I have a hunch that we will still meet one day." ”

The kobold gasped and smiled, "Yes, I think so too." ”

The kobold wanted to hurry back to stand guard, so he gave Situ Yunmeng a brief route, and left in a hurry, and Situ Yunmeng walked on the streets of Chiyan City with Xue Yan.

Xue Yan looked left and right, and said, "This Red Flame City is too big, I'm afraid it's not so easy to enter the Fire Cloud Palace, what should I do?" ”

Yun Meng paused for a moment, lowered his head and stroked the green silk on his chest, and then said to Xue Yan: "Yan'er, Ah Ye has my jade pendant on his body, in fact, I can faintly feel it, and the direction is probably in the direction that Mastiff Xing is pointing to, but I am afraid that the matter of entering the Fire Cloud Palace will have to be considered in the long run." ”

The air in Lishu Mountain was fresher than expected, Xue Yan stretched her waist and said, "I'm hungry after a day's fighting, in my opinion, find an inn to eat a full meal first, and then make a plan." ”

Situ Yunmeng observed the street while walking, the red light of the sky shone on this chain of cities, the operation methods of the shops and vendors in the city were almost the same as those in the human world, and most of the people on the street were goblins wearing straight Zen clothes and dark crowns, and some of them seemed to be attracted by the fragrance of Yunmeng's body, and they all cast strange glances.

Yun Meng was very uncomfortable, holding his hands in front of him, and asked Xue Yan with a red face, "Yan'er, why are they looking at us with such strange eyes?" ”

Xue Yan frowned and said, "Which one is us?" It's you! I'm afraid it's the aura that emanates from you that attracts them. ”

Yun Meng was upset, Xue Yan touched her slender waist with her arm, and whispered, "What are you afraid of?" Don't those passers-by in the world see you less? I won't eat you again...... Huh! There are also rock sugar gourds here! I want to eat! When Xue Yan saw the sugar gourd, she immediately stopped talking and ran to the stall next to her to buy the sugar gourd.

Situ Yunmeng was afraid to stay away from Xue Yan, and hurriedly followed, only to see a monkey-headed rickety uncle selling sugar gourds, Xue Yan lined up at the back of the long line, and the stall flag said "Delicious in the world, Li Ji rock sugar red fruit", Xue Yan couldn't help but want to ask those goblins, why there are sugar gourds in Shushan, but the goblins obviously rejected her, and they were respectful to Situ Yunmeng, staring at her incessantly.

Situ Yunmeng helped Xue Yan inquire by the way, it turned out that this old monkey spirit had come to Shushan in the past ten years, and had been following a monkey show named Lao Li in the past, saying that it was a monkey show, but Lao Li was very good to the old monkey spirit, not only did he not abuse him, but also made sugar gourds for him to eat every day, until one day Lao Li offended the officials and was arrested, the old monkey spirit broke into the cell to save people, and killed several officials, when he was rescued, Lao Li had been tortured to death, the old monkey spirit was furious, and wanted to avenge Lao Li, but the government had invited a Taoist priest to arrest him, He came to Lishu Mountain in desperation, and with his ability to make sugar gourds, his life was also very good.

"It seems that if you can enter Lishu Mountain, it doesn't necessarily mean that you hate human beings." Situ Yunmeng said in his heart: "Perhaps, they are not as barbaric as we imagined. ”

After queuing for a long time, it was finally Xue Yan's turn to buy sugar gourds, she took out the copper plate on her body and gave it to the old monkey spirit, the old monkey spirit glanced at it, and said in a not very skilled human voice: "Don't, yours, want ours." As he spoke, he took out a copper coin and pointed it to Xue Yan, which was engraved with a small seal "Burning the sky, five baht", needless to say, "Burning the sky" is of course the year name of this copper coin.

Some people behind him waited impatiently and shouted, "That human, don't use your money to buy food from us, go back!" ”

Xue Yanzheng didn't know what to do, Yun Meng saw it in his eyes, stepped forward, presented a silver ingot in his palm to the old monkey spirit, and said softly: "This uncle, can't you use such money?" ”

The old monkey spirit took the silver ingot and observed it for a while, and said with a smile: "This, silver, rare, can!" ”

"Huh?" Xue Yan was taken aback and asked Yun Meng, "Do you still have any silver on you?" ”

"That's a lot." Situ Yunmeng glanced at Xue Yan and said puzzledly: "Shouldn't you bring more when walking the rivers and lakes?" I've stuffed everything I can. ”

So, Xue Yan hurriedly bought ten sugar gourds and took Yun Meng's hand out of the crowd.

"Hmm! I can't believe that the old monkey is doing a good job, wow! Xue Yan said while eating: "Little Mengmeng, thank you for helping me pay!" Not! ”

Situ Yunmeng looked at Xue Yan's eating appearance, swallowed his saliva, and said, "Is it really that delicious?" ”

"Haven't you eaten it?" Xue Yan handed one to Yun Meng, and said, "It's also ho!" You've said you've been out so little that you haven't eaten a lot! ”

Situ Yunmeng took the thing and took a bite, first it was sweet, then her whole teeth were sour, she frowned and said, "It tastes so weird, Yan'er!" Although I said this, I couldn't help but eat another one.

Xue Yan hurriedly ate her sugar gourd, and said, "Don't eat the hawthorn inside, that sour, just eat the sugar outside." After saying that, he spit out the hawthorn in his mouth.

"Oh...... Don't waste it. Situ Yunmeng said, ate the whole sugar gourd again, and muttered: "First sweet and then sour, sweet and sour interaction, it's quite delicious!" ”

The climate of Lishu Mountain is hot, the rock sugar gourd is cool and sour, and it is just right for the time, and the two daughters are very happy to eat, especially Situ Yunmeng, while listening to Xue Yan chatting about the anecdotes of the rivers and lakes, while holding his chin and eating the sugar gourd, the willow eyebrows stretched, and temporarily put the affairs of Han Ye behind.

After a while, the second daughter ate all ten sugar gourds, Situ Yunmeng turned around and wanted to buy them again, but was stopped by Xue Yan, Xue Yan smiled: "Silly Mengmeng, let's continue to move forward, maybe there is something more delicious ahead!" ”

"yes, yes!" Yunmeng nodded heavily.

After walking about two miles, I arrived at a crossroads, there was a shop in front of the right with a gilded signboard of "Youyu Restaurant", the decoration was not bad, the three-story attic, covering a wide area, Xue Yan didn't say a word, and pulled Yunmeng to go inside.

When you enter the store, you will find that the furnishings in the store are even more magnificent, with fine ink treasures hanging on the pillars on the wall, elegant potted plants placed next to the stairs on the wall, more than 30 large tables and small tables are placed according to the area, and there are several elegant rooms for guests to enter and enjoy the food.

There were many goblins and some earth fairies sitting in the hall, including the bull monster family who ate with a nose ring, the toad spirit couple who put vegetables into each other's bowls, the rabbit master who told jokes to his grandchildren while eating, the goat old fairy who pulled the erhu with the food cold, the green snake brother who went to the bottom of the table to pick up things, and the red snake brother who sat at the table to keep accounts, and the hen aunt who kept arguing with Xiao Er for the price of a dish, and some fierce beast officers and soldiers who were tired of patrolling outside and came in to eat some wine and food.

In addition, this hotel also has a feature: the shopkeeper and the second child in the store are all kittens.

The little ones have different colors of hair, bells and signs around their necks, and they are busy inside and out; The shopkeeper is slightly larger, pure white as snow, wearing a round hat and a jacket, and is lying on the counter lazily playing with the abacus with his small paws.

At this time, a yellow kitten with a sign of picking up Qi saw Yun Meng and Xue Yan, hurriedly pinned the pen and paper to his waist, jumped up to them, raised his paws and asked, "Are you two?" ”

"Hmm." Yun Meng came back from his surprise, bent down and stroked the yellow kitten and said, "Cat, we are hungry, arrange a table by the window for me." ”

"Meow~Okay~!" Huang Xiaomei squinted and barked, and was about to lead the two of them forward, but Xue Yan said, "Wait, Yunmeng, why are you sitting by the window?" Wait for the aroma on your body to waft out, and a bunch of goblins watch you eat, can you still eat? ”

"That's right......" Yun Meng felt reasonable, and said to Huang Xiaomei: "That's it, let's find us a place in the middle." ”

"Meow~Okay~!" Huang Xiaomei squinted her eyes and smiled, took the second girl to a table for four people, jumped on the table, swept the table with her tail, took out a pen and paper and asked, "What do you want to order?" ”

"Hmm......" Xue Yan held her chin and thought for a while, and said, "Let's talk about what signature dishes you have in your store first." ”

Huang Xiaomei said with a smile: "The two guest officials must be from the outside world, our hotel is famous in Chiyan City, you can choose vegetarian dishes, meat dishes are only fish, especially the fish made by our shopkeeper himself, I heard that the Lord tasted it and was full of praise!" ”

"Meat dishes are only fish?" Xue Yan asked puzzledly, "Why are there only fish?" ”

Huang Xiaomei pointed to the surrounding customers and said, "Look, there are bull monsters, pig demons, rabbit spirits, and sheep fairies everywhere, but there are no fish demons and grass spirits and wood monsters. ”

"Oh." Xue Yan put her hands on the table and said, "Okay, let's have a plate of sweet and sour carp, a plate of steamed crucian carp and a plate of rattan pepper fish fillet, a stir-fried cabbage and a cold lotus root slices on the side dish, hurry up, the sugar gourd is not full, this girl is hungry again." ”

"Okay, okay~meow~!" Huang Xiaomei wrote everything on the paper, and then bowed and said: "Two guest officers, our restaurant is to pay the bill first and then serve the food, no credit, it is better to ......"

Yun Meng quietly took out a sachet from his waist, handed the silver ingot inside to the kitten, and said, "The silver can be used, right?" ”

"Of course, of course~ The fairy is generous~ The little one goes to the counter to pay first~!" Huang Kitten said and picked up the pen and paper, and jumped to the counter.

"Do they all call me a fairy? Maybe...... Am I really from heaven? Yun Meng lowered his head and thought about this question, and after half a cup of tea, Huang Xiaokitten brought the plate of vegetables on his head, placed them on the table one by one, and asked by the way: "Guest officer, do you still want wine?" ”

"Wine?" Yun Meng asked with wide jade eyes.

Xue Yan said quickly: "She doesn't want it!" Put down the change and go about your business. ”

"Okay~ What else needs to be called a small ~ meow~!" The yellow kitten put the silver on the table and bounced elsewhere.

"Drinking and making mistakes!" Xue Yan said to Yun Meng angrily.

"But I didn't say I wanted to drink it." Yun Meng looked at Xue Yan innocently, and suddenly Yueyue's eyebrows frowned, and she sobbed in a low voice.

Xue Yan thought that she had wronged her and made her suffer, so she hurriedly put down her chopsticks and patted her on the back, and comforted: "Okay, okay!" It's me who is bad, don't cry! ”

Situ Yunmeng burst into tears, raised his sleeves and wiped his tears: "You are so good to me, how can I blame you and blame you?" But Ah Ye was seriously injured and was brought into the palace, and now I don't know how, but we are here to talk, laugh, and taste delicious food, I always feel ...... I'm so sorry for him~! As he spoke, the whimper was amplified.

Where could Xue Yan blame her, held her hand, and persuaded softly: "Okay, okay, it's a big life!" Besides, since he was arrested and put into the palace, the lord would definitely not let him die, otherwise why spend so much effort to bring a dead man in? You say yes, right? ”

Yun Meng felt that what Xue Yan said was reasonable, but he still said sadly: "Actually, whenever he is weak, the jade pendant I gave him will react, and now I feel that the breath of the jade pendant comes and goes, he, he must be suffering...... But I can't be with him! It's uncomfortable! ”

Xue Yan was not even in the mood to eat, and said with relief: "Alas! Don't get along with the big things, fill your stomach first, and then we will find a way to enter the palace, with me, I don't believe that I can't save the stupid melon, don't be sad Xiaomengmeng. ”

At the same time, there were several officers and soldiers on errands at a table in the distance, they were leopard heads, tiger spirits, rhinoceros spirits, and vulture monsters, and the four of them were eating peanuts and drinking wine and chatting.

The rhinoceros spirit urn said angrily: "Alas, the boss always says that he wants to raise soldiers and horses and conquer the world, which has been hundreds of years, and he has not gone out!" Capture a bird's feather? ”

"Brother Rhino drank too much, haha!" The tiger spirit pointed at the rhinoceros essence and said, "Aren't you afraid of being heard by Niu Tingwei, and the rod will be punished fifty?" ”

"The rhinoceros can't be blamed either." The leopard head smiled: "He is more than two hundred years old, and the false fire is too strong, can he not be annoyed?" ”

"That's right." The vulture complained about the sky and said: "We always have a large group of males surrounding a small group of mothers in Shushan, the yang is prosperous and the yin is declining, so that the brothers beat the bachelors all the year round, and they have to eat lawsuits to rob the people's daughters, which is a real headache!" ”

The rhinoceros spirit was annoyed, and suddenly smelled a pleasant fragrance, he closed his eyes, inhaled the tempting aroma greedily with his nose, and said, "What flowers have been on the store recently?" Why is it so fragrant? ”

"Yes, uh-huh~it's so fragrant~!" The leopard's head was also completely intoxicated with the fragrance, and poked his head into the distance along the fragrance, and finally found the source of the fragrance, and wanted to speak, but suddenly saw the person who spread the fragrance crying in the pear blossom with rain, the green silk is like a waterfall, and the jade is dusty, and he can't help but be stunned and stupid there.

When the other three officers and soldiers saw the leopard's head like this, they all looked in his direction, and they were also dumbfounded, the tiger spirit's eyes were glowing green, the rhinoceros essence saliva flowed onto the table, and the vulture was trembling and almost fell off the chair.

"Fairy?!" The four beasts shouted almost at the same time, they glanced at each other, and together they got up and walked towards Yunmeng's table.
