Chapter 3 Demon City

The early morning wind blows into the Taiji Building, and the bright sunlight is also accompanied by the refreshing wind into the Taiji Building, and the bell on the door rings, and the residents in the Taiji Building start their day's activities.

Shen Qingjiu was wearing a divine bead on her wrist, and the black and white umbrella was placed at her feet, the little fox was gone, but Shao Siyu and Bai Ruyu were sitting in front of her.

Bai Ruyu smiled, flashing a pair of smart big eyes, and the two pearl earrings on her ears shook and swung over with her movements.

Shen Qingjiu frowned, tilted his head slightly, looked at the two of them, and said, "You guys...... Is it really the guardian spirit of the Shen family, know my grandfather? ”

Bai Ruyu nodded with a smile and said, "Of course, what did I lie to you, if you don't believe it, I can prove it." ”

Shen Qingjiu asked, "How to prove it?" ”

Bai Ruyu stretched out a finger, nodded her chin, and thought for a moment: "Is this...... I don't know, but I have a lot of questions for you, what age is it, what are you wearing, and this house, it's all so strange, isn't the house made of wood, dressed like this, won't you be beaten, what about your father, and, what is this, what is this, ah, monsters, will sparks! ”

When she touched the socket, she was accidentally electrocuted, and she flew up all of a sudden, squatting on the wall lamp, and shrunk into a ball, as if she was a frightened kitten, which made people look both funny and distressed.

Shen Qingjiu looked up at her and said, "Don't be afraid, it's electricity, as long as you don't touch it, it won't hurt you, it's not a monster, monsters only come to stay in Taiji Tower at night, and they generally don't appear during the day." ”

Bai Ruyu tilted her head, half-believing her words, and hesitated for a long time before jumping off from it, squatting on the chair, glancing at the socket she had just touched, and said, "Electricity?" What is electricity, lightning, thunder? ”

The most common thing in modern society, now asking Shen Qingjiu to explain what electricity is, she suddenly couldn't find the right word, scratched her ears and cheeks and thought for a while, and said, "That's it...... Well, something that can shine instead of a candle, oh no, that's a lamp, uh...... I don't know how to explain it, anyway, when you see more in the future, you'll know. ”

This explanation is equivalent to nothing, and it makes people even more confused.

Shao Siyu, who was sitting on the side, spoke at this time and said, "This is not an important thing, the most important thing now is to find the Classic of Mountains and Seas and prevent the disaster that will happen next." ”

Shen Qingjiu's eyes widened and said, "The Classic of Mountains and Seas? That's not it. ”

Shao Siyu and Bai Ruyu looked at her fingers, and on the bookshelf against the wall, there was a hardcover hardcover gilded cover of the Classic of Mountains and Seas.

Shen Qingjiu said: "There are mountains and seas everywhere in the hotel, and I can almost memorize it since I was a child." “

"Uh...... Hahaha! ”

Bai Ruyu suddenly laughed very exaggeratedly, the corners of her eyes were full of tears, and she held her stomach and laughed for a long time.

Shen Qingjiu looked at her with an exaggerated smile wrinkled his brows, and he didn't understand which sentence hit her laugh and made her laugh like this.

Two minutes later, Bai Ruyu finally stopped laughing and said: "The old man is really powerful, this must be a family rule, ancestral training, a necessary skill for the younger generations, familiar with the Classic of Mountains and Seas, otherwise, you can't become a successor." ”

Although I don't want to admit it, the people of the Shen family have indeed read the Classic of Mountains and Seas, even if they can't memorize it, they must be familiar with it.

Bai Ruyu smiled exaggeratedly, but Shao Siyu was quiet from beginning to end, and when she stopped, she spoke: "The Classic of Mountains and Seas you are looking for is not this Classic of Mountains and Seas, it is a special book, which is sealed with strange beasts of mountains and seas, you need to break the seal, and let the strange beasts inside obey your orders to remove this disaster." ”

Shen Qingjiu turned his two fingers uneasily and said, "That...... Where is the Book of Mountains and Seas that you are talking about, in you? ”

Shao Siyu didn't take out the Classic of Mountains and Seas that he said, but only replied to her with three words: "It's lost." ”

"The ...... Lost? ”

Shen Qingjiu's eyes widened and he looked at him in disbelief.

Bai Ruyu suddenly stretched out her hand at this time, patted Shao Siyu's shoulder vigorously, and said very loudly: "Stinky wood, don't scare her, the little girl is cute and lovely, strange and likable, Xiaojiujiu, don't be afraid, this kind of thing is often lost, and the old man has lost it before, as long as you want to, it will appear in front of you." ”

Shen Qingjiu's face was full of confusion, no matter how he sounded like this, it was unreliable, especially from the mouth of this girl, which made people even less trusting.

Bai Ruyu flashed a pair of big eyes and said, "Xiaojiujiu, what kind of place is this, how is it not at all different from the old man's thatched house, look outside......"

As she spoke, she had already jumped up and swept out of the open window, and her white figure, like a white dove, fluttered its wings and flew away, light and weightless.

"Don't run around!"

Shao Siyu saw her fly out, opened his mouth and called out, and also swept out.

Two people who didn't know where to cross over, wearing strange clothes, saying strange things, and doing strange actions, were simply called Shen Qingjiu one head and two big.

After walking out of the door, I looked up and saw Bai Ruyu standing on the top of the building, exclaiming loudly: "Am I dreaming?!" ”

In front of her, there was an endless city, towering high-rise buildings, endless traffic, crowded streets, rotating Ferris wheels, planes shuttling among the white clouds, a giant bird with wide wings flying overhead, Bai Ruyu lowered his head and exclaimed again: "Why are there eagles here?!" ”

Shao Siyu was standing next to her, and compared to Bai Ruyu, who kept screaming in surprise, he was much more indifferent.

Shen Qingjiu ran up the stairs and came to the rooftop of the building, gasping for breath and saying, "The words are not finished yet, what are you running?" ”

Bai Ruyu's eyes were simply not enough to see, looking at this side for a while, looking at that side for a while, and kept saying: "What is this, what is that, there are two roads, and what is a big guy running on it, and what is that one with four wheels flying on the road, and also, they are all dressed so strangely, hey, there are people who wear the same clothes as us, over there, stinky wood, you look into the distance, where are the tall buildings, the same as we were at that time, they are made of wood, hey, there are demons...... Yes! ”

She was just about to fly out, Shao Siyu stretched out his hand in time, pulled her back again, and said, "Don't run around, do serious things first." ”

Bai Ruyu's high interest was poured a basin of cold water on him in an instant, pouted, and said, "Stinky wood, it's really unreasonable." ”

Shen Qingjiu also took a breath, walked in front of the two people, and said, "Don't run yet, listen to what I say." ”

Bai Ruyu stood up straight, put her hands behind her back, a pair of beautiful big eyes flashed with star-like brilliance, and said, "Then you say, how did this place become what it is now, and where did the old man's thatched house go?" ”

The questions are really much, and she didn't answer any of her own questions.

Shen Qingjiu took a hard breath and said: "This is the Demon City, the legend is that in ancient times, when Nuwa Niangniang was mending the sky, it was formed by a five-colored stone that fell into the world, over there, there is the Demon City Museum, which records the history of the Demon City, and I will take you to see it when I have time." ”

"Demon City?"

Bai Ruyu repeated this sentence, wrapped her fingers around a strand of hair hanging in front of her, and said, "So, there are demons here." ”

Shen Qingjiu nodded and said, "Yes, demons can also settle here, or live on their own, or live with humans, but they need to go through a strict review before they can officially settle in the demon city, otherwise, they will be targeted by demon hunters like the little fox last night." ”

The little fox was supposed to leave the Taiji Tower before dawn, but because of the presence of the moon, he still stayed in the Taiji Tower.

Bai Ruyu nodded and said: "The old man has been committed to the coexistence of humans and demons all his life, but he didn't expect that now his dream has come true. ”

Shao Siyu frowned slightly and said, "Is Taiji Tower a place for these demons to spend the night?" ”

Shen Qingjiu shook his head and said, "You are only half right, Taiji Tower is a hotel, huh...... You can understand that it is your inn at that time, the hotel is handed down from the ancestors, I don't know how many years it has existed, the rules of the Taiji Building, the reception of the living during the day, the reception of non-living people at night, any force, shall not quarrel in the Taiji Building, otherwise, will never be allowed to step into the Taiji Building. ”

"What about the old man's thatched hut?"

Bai Ruyu's heart was full of memories of Shen You's thatched house.

Shen Qingjiu came to the edge of the rooftop, looked at the barren grassland last night, raised his hand, and said, "It's probably the place where you appeared last night, that place, grandma said, don't let us in, when she comes back, you must scold me to death." ”

Behind the high wall, all the grass is barren, the barren grass is almost taller than a person, standing on a high place and looking over, you can see a long gap in the ground, and the thatched house in my memory has long been gone.

Bai Ruyu and Shao Siyu looked at that place at the same time, Bai Ruyu's shining eyes had lost their brilliant brilliance, but flashed with tears, Shao Siyu's cold face became more serious, and his lips were tightly pursed into a line.

That should be a nostalgic place for them.

Shen Qingjiu thought so in his heart.

"Little Miss!"

When the atmosphere was brewing with sorrow, a voice broke the dullness, followed the sound, and a person ran from the staircase, with a big shoulder and a round waist, a pink apron tied around his waist, a white towel on his shoulder, and his face was soft and full of meat, standing there, still trembling and trembling, obviously she ran over, panting with a snort, and said, "My little miss, you can go out and have a look, something is wrong!" ”

Shen Qingjiu turned to look at her and said, "Fat sister, what's wrong...... Alas! ”

The fat sister is an employee of the hotel, in charge of the back kitchen, she didn't answer Shen Qingjiu's question, but pulled her and ran downstairs, the fat sister was too wide, and Shen Qingjiu was too small, she was almost picked up by the fat sister.

Bai Ruyu blinked and looked at it, jumped up suddenly, and said, "There must be something interesting, I want to see it too." ”

With that, she ran out.

Shao Siyu shook his head slightly, and also got up and followed.
