Chapter 114: Willows on the Moon
The nightflower blooms and blooms, falls and falls, and Fluttershy flies and flies away. The night is back to dust, and the jade day is forever.
When the night on the banks of the River Styx blooms and falls three times, the day has passed. During the polar daylight period, the people of the demon clan do not need to sleep and rest, and if the body is tired after a day, they can enter a state of false sleep by only meditating and pranayama.
Jiuxi didn't like to meditate in the closed cultivation room for too long, and after more than five hours, he felt that his cultivation techniques had improved a lot, and he twisted his neck from side to side, and was ready to leave.
When she pushed open the door of the cultivation room, as if it had been agreed in advance, the door of the cultivation room next door also happened to be pushed open, and an elegant young man walked out of it.
When the young man looked up at her, she seemed to catch a hint of surprise in his calm eyes.
"You ......"
"You know me?"
The two spoke almost at the same time.
Yechen's hearing was excellent, especially in this small and quiet space, when there was a slight movement next door, he heard two soft bone sounds, and he knew that the distinguished guest next door had finished cultivating and was about to leave.
Picking up the blood spirit fruit that he had ordered the guards to prepare before, a small red pill was placed in a delicate and small silver box, and a brocade was wrapped in it. He closed the silver box with a click, and the red pill was hidden in the box.
However, when he pretended not to know and "happened" to open the door, he saw the slender figure coming out of the door next door, his eyes moved to her face, and his movements paused for a moment.
It's a little girl?
Besides, this little girl...... Sound familiar?
He looked at it quietly, with a light smile on his face, and gestured to Jiuxi who walked out together, and then said politely: "I haven't seen a girl before." β
"Hmm. β
Jiuxi nodded, and then prepared to turn around and leave, and there was no intention of preparing to talk to him more.
Yechen watched her turn around and remembered her sentence "You know me?"
As if a half-beat slowly, he added, "But you are very similar to an old friend of mine. β
His friends naturally said that he was looking for it, and Shao Yu was also one. And their deceased is the little girl who met in an inn in the mortal world many years ago.
But she is the younger sister of Shao Yu Shaojun, fresh and vivid, a little face is always smiling, and when she laughs, she will reveal the sharp little tiger teeth and the shallow pear vortex on her cheeks, as if she was born with no troubles, very likable.
Therefore, even if Gui Xun is so casual and seems to be indifferent to anything, he can be regarded as caring for the little girl.
Jiu Xi paused when she turned to leave, and then turned her head to look at him, Ye Chen looked over, her eyes were clean and bright, very beautiful, but the indifference in those eyes was very strange to him.
She turned around, but she wasn't ready to continue with what Yechen had said about the old man, apparently she wasn't interested in the one he was talking aboutβan old man who was similar to her.
She turned to look at him and said, "Do you know where there is good wine nearby?"
Yechen looked back at her, smiled lightly and groaned: "The demon people are fond of drinking, and there is naturally good wine." But this is the first time the girl has come to the Demon Realm? β
"You still think I'm like your friend's old friend, shouldn't I be familiar?"
"Since the tower master knows my identity, why do you knowingly ask?"
The words were picked out and spoken, and Ye Chen's face was still light and light, as if the person who had just asked knowingly was not him, but the girl in front of her said this, so she also said directly: "The Demon Monarch's Seventh Ghost Envoy has been dusty all night, and he has seen the young master." β
Jiuxi raised his eyebrows and did not deny the title of young master. Her father can be regarded as the ancestor of the Demon Realm, and he is also the Lord of the Demon Realm, so it is natural that she is called the Young Master.
Even though the Demon Lord is in power now, the position of the Demon Lord can still be rotated, and the status and belief of the Demon Venerable Qiantu in the hearts of the people of the Demon Clan cannot be replaced no matter what.
Yechen made a very elegant and polite salute, and the silver box he held in the palm of his hand tightened, and then received it in his sleeve, and then replied to her words.
"If the young master wants to drink, he can go to Youquan City. The fruit wine of Youquan City is brewed with four seasons fruit, the taste is wonderful, the entrance is slightly astringent, the aftertaste is slightly sweet, and it is mixed with a little spicy when tasted carefully. β
"The medicinal wine made from Barilla ginseng is light and refreshing, and you can't stop drinking it when you take a sip. There is also rice wine brewed from the green silk valley, which is strong and hearty. Do you like it?"
Yechen introduced the wine in Youquan City one by one, and carefully described the taste, which was very attentive.
"...... of Youquan City" Jiu Xi rolled these three words around his throat, "This place is good at brewing?"
"Youquan is located in the western region of the Demon Realm, and it is extremely rich in products during the polar daylight period, so there are also a variety of wines. β
Jiuxi glanced at him: "Who is the city lord?"
"One of the Seven Envoys of the Devil, Return. β
"Lead the way. β
She directly and unceremoniously ordered, and Yechen seemed to be unexpected, smiled lightly and made a gesture of invitation, and led the young master to the direction of Youquan City.
Even a trace of indescribable joy suddenly rose in his heart, I don't know what kind of expression he would have when he saw this young master?
Of course, as early as when he talked about the wine in Youquan City one by one, he knew that since this young master, who was so indifferent and didn't care much about the things around him, he would definitely not miss it.
The two of them walked out of the Linglong Pagoda and walked towards the Western Regions of the Demon Realm. Along the way, Yechen also dutifully introduced the demon realm he passed by to Jiuxi one by one.
When they arrived at Youquan City, they didn't even need to say hello, and the guards outside the city saw that it was Lord Yechen coming, so they respectfully saluted and let them in, and even Jiuxi, who was following behind him, didn't dare to take a few more looks.
Compared with the Spring City, the city of Youquan seems to have the feeling of fireworks in the world. The people of the demon clan who live here all wear square scarves and brocade clothes, and they come and go among the miscellaneous shops in the city, communicating with each other.
"The city lord of Youquan has a casual temperament and is bold, so there are the most demons gathered in the city, and most of them are free-range. β
Jiu Xi listened to his words while taking in the state of Youquan City.
Not only is she ready to obey her father's wishes and participate in the battle for the throne in the eternal night to gain power in the Demon Realm, but she also needs to find out the situation in the Demon Realm as soon as possible.
The Ye Chen in front of him was gentle and polite, and seemed to be a harmless jade prince, but it was difficult to say whether he really planned to get closer to her, the so-called young master, or if he approached with other thoughts.
In particular, there is the similarity of her face to that of his friend's deceased.
"You said before that I am very similar to the old friend of one of your friends, that friend, but the lord of Youquan City?"
Yechen still replied unhurriedly, as if he didn't care about being guessed by this young master, and anything that was exposed was insignificant in front of him: "It is the city lord of Youquan City who is looking for it." β
"Would you like to see him, young master?"
Jiuxi glanced at him: "The good wine you said is all in his place?"
Yechen nodded calmly and smiled: "Naturally...... No, but doesn't the young master also want to understand the current situation in the demon world as soon as possible? As the existence of the Seven Envoys of the Ghost Snake as a direct subordinate and direct dispatch of the previous demon lords, it is still necessary for the young master to meet with them first. β
Jiuxi shook his head: "I'm tired today, I just want to drink." If you really miss him, take me to a place where good wine is sold, and then go to him yourself. β
Night Dust: "So, it's Night Dust who has too much to say." Young master, please come with me. β
He really didn't say anything more, and he almost figured out the young master's character in his heart. This young master seems to be alienated and indifferent, and he has nothing to do with everything around him, but he is a person with a delicate heart.
Yechen took Jiuxi to the tavern that he and Gui Xun went to the most, the place was remote and very quiet, and he must have been able to follow the young master's habits.
In the night dust, a person who can take care of the feelings of others, in front of him, some subtle things can make him see the subtle things, from which the cocoon can be peeled off, and the original face of things can be restored.
Including what kind of person has what kind of character, with what habits, he can observe in the details, and then quietly can attract the favor of others and lower the vigilance of others.
However, if you ignore his strength because of his appearance......
He'll definitely give you a clear idea of what it means to regret not being in the first place.
Jiuxi naturally noticed this, so she never underestimated him in her heart, but put him in a position with a little vigilance, of course, except for her father and mother, it seems that she can't have the slightest sense of closeness to anyone now.
After all, all seven emotions are lost, and it can be regarded as a real heart without waves.
*
The demon world is still the polar day at this time, but the mortal world has already risen on the moon and the lights are shining.
Holding a doll in one hand and a rabbit lamp in the other, Shao Hui walked under the moon on a long street in the mortal world with a little rare leisure.
The years in the underworld have been too cold, and he hasn't seen such a mortal scene for a long time.
At that time, he was in the mortal realm, and he had never had the opportunity to enjoy the lights and walk around the city with her, but it was only because the time was too short at that time, and there were too many things to do and do.
"Senior brother, this sugar gourd is so sweet, do you want to taste it?"
The little doll who was holding his little hand held a sugar gourd with only the last three left, smiled at him obediently.
Shao Yu bent his straight back slightly, and bit down on a sugar gourd with his head in his mouth, chewed it in a few bites, and echoed: "Well, it's very sweet." β
The little doll immediately smiled: "Then senior brother, do you want to have another string?"
"If you eat too much sugar, you will have a toothache, and the doll wants to try it?"
Jiuxi recalled the ecstasy when he had a toothache, sighed, and covered up: "I want to bring a string to Master......
As soon as Fang finished speaking, he remembered that they were no longer in the Cloud Realm Heavenly Abyss, and they might not have seen Master for a long time.
"Senior brother, I miss Master a little, and he doesn't know where the old man is now. Jiuxi took another bite off a sugar gourd, and slurred his words, "The main thing is that there is no one to eat with me, and there is no satisfaction." β
Shao Yu took her hand and shook it: "Master will come to look for us, doll just rest assured." β
When what he did made a big fuss, even if the master didn't want to come forward, he would come out to clean up the mess for him, a disciple.
