Chapter 008: The flying basket hangs high on the outskirts of the imperial city

"Think more. I just want you to go back to the heavenly realm soon, return me the Blood Wave Treasure Sand, and you can eat too much. While Night Twilight and Lan Nuanyu were talking, the chicken had been swept away, and the tip of half a pitiful chicken wing lay quietly in his hand, which was the only meat left on the table.

Twilight found a carriage, packed up his things, and arrived at the outskirts of the imperial city in less than half a day. The carriage stopped outside an inn, and Xiao Er hurriedly ran out of the house and asked in a hoarse voice: "Guest officer, please, is it a sharp point or a hotel?"

"The road wasn't smooth at all, and it shook me to death. Lan Nuanyu complained, "Where are we resting here today?"

"Shake? What you're trying to say should be upside down. It's almost there, and there's no need for a carriage for the rest of the road. โ€

"What's that for? I can't go. โ€

"Flying. Night Twilight smiled mysteriously at Lan Nuanyu, then turned his head and said to Xiao Er, "Flying basket." โ€

Xiao Er looked at the night twilight in embarrassment: "Guest officer, you came too late, it's so dark, we can't afford to have an accident." โ€

Seeing that Xiao Er had some eyes, Night Twilight asked, "Are you new here?"

"Well, if the two of you are in a hurry, I can ask the shopkeeper about this matter. โ€

Lan Nuanyu saw that an old man in the room poked his head out and looked around, then took out something from the cabinet and handed it to Xiao Er.

"What is a flying basket, why have I never heard of it?" Lan Nuanyu tilted her head and looked out curiously: "It has never appeared in the book." โ€

"It's a lot of fun, I'll know in a moment. โ€

After a while, Xiao Er ran out of the store, with a string of polished keys in his hand, and said, "Please come with me, two of you." โ€

Lan Nuanyu was picked up by the night scar, and walked around the inn to the back mountain, where he put her into a basket that resembled a vegetable basket, and then handed her a thick hemp rope.

"Don't move inside, I'll wait for you on the mountain. โ€

"Huh?" Lan Nuanyu only heard the night scar say something to Xiao Er, pull hard, hurry up and something like that, the basket she was sitting on slowly left the ground, and then rose higher. "Night scars!" I ......" she wanted to say she was afraid, but when she lowered her head and saw Night Scars looking at her playfully, she gritted her teeth: she must not let this guy look down on herself.

Lan Nuanyu clung to the hemp rope, and at this time the basket had already come to mid-air, and the wind blew, blowing the basket to sway from side to side, and squeaky moans from time to time. She swallowed her saliva and looked down to see that she was high in the sky, and the pitch black was probably a forest, and there were some faint dots of unknown light in the darkness.

"Night Scar, this stinky. Lan Nuanyu remained motionless, for fear that she would crush the basket down.

"Boom-squeak-" The basket let out a "scream" and fell down, as if something heavy had fallen on the basket, so frightened that Lan Nuanyu wanted to coil the whole person on the hemp rope.

"Poofโ€”"

Lan Nuanyu raised her head, only to see that Ye Eye Scar was sitting on the hemp rope and looked at herself and smiled: "It turns out that you are also scared sometimes." โ€

"Who said I'm afraid? Lan Nuanyu said strongly, but in fact, her heart was already hanging in the air.

"Oh, aren't you afraid?" Night Eye Scar pulled the rope of the basket with one hand, and stepped one foot to the side, the gravity of the basket was uneven, and there was a noticeable tilt.

"I'm not afraid!" Lan Nuanyu bit her lip stubbornly, if it weren't for the night, she could see that her face was whiter than when she was sick.

Night Eyes noticed the bright moonlight passing by, and a little sparkle appeared in the corner of Lan Nuanyu's eyes. She was obviously scared to death, but she didn't admit it, which was very similar to him. He grabbed both hands on the sling, balanced the basket again, and squeezed the three words "sorry" out of his throat.

Although her voice was small, Lan Nuanyu could hear it clearly, and she raised her head and asked, "What did you say?"

"I didn't say anything, did I say anything? Night Eyes coughed a few times and said, "Actually, the flying basket is very fun, and if you stand up, it will be more interesting than sitting in it." Would you like to try it?"

This sentence is very similar to Jin Zhaowen tricking her into going to see Zhu Xiantai, Lan Nuanyu shook her head: "Don't look at it, don't look at it." โ€

"Okay. I'll tell you about it. Ye Scar felt that Shicai was really scaring her, but Lan Nuanyu was a person from the heavenly realm, and it was the first time that people from the heavenly realm were afraid of heights.

"Hmm. Lan Nuanyu carefully stretched out half of her head, revealing only two eyes looking out curiously.

"This is the highest mountain in the Purple Wei Kingdom, so you can see Wei City. Night Eyes let go of his hand, pointed to a sea of lights in the distance and said, "Over there, have you seen it?" I heard that there is a legend in Ziwei City. Many years ago, a man in the heavenly realm fell in love with a demon who saved the Three Realms from fire and water, but committed a big mistake. The man was ordered by the Emperor to capture her and kill her. In order to commemorate her merits, people put lights in her honor every year. At first, it would rain every time the lights were on, but over time, they went with them. โ€

"Where did you hear all this?" Lan Nuanyu looked at the lights in the distance and asked, "Why have I never heard anyone talk about it in the Heavenly Realm? Who is that man in the Heavenly Realm? If I were that man, I would definitely flee with the demon, the Three Realms are so big, why worry about having nowhere to stay." โ€

"I don't know. Night Twilight knocked on Lan Nuanyu's head, "It's all legends, why are you so serious?"

"It's just a casual remark. Lan Nuanyu only cared about admiring the sea of lights, but forgot that she was in the sky.

The basket slowed down in the air until it finally came to a stop on a tall ancient tree.

"It's here. Night Twilight jumped off the flying basket, saw Lan Nuanyu still sitting inside, and took her out again: "Miss, I look at you very thin, but in fact you are quite heavy." โ€

"Night twilight, you don't hurt me for an hour, don't you feel at ease?"

"No, don't dare. Night Twilight took a few steps and muttered, "It's not good to be honest these days. โ€

Twilight and Lan Nuanyu came to a village, and the villagers inside were already waiting. The dress of these people was far from what Lan Nuanyu had seen before, with tall hats folded into spires, various strange patterns painted on their faces and bodies with blood, and their bodies were only surrounded by large pieces of animal skin, and the animal bones hanging around their necks were the only decoration. One of the old men stood at the front of the crowd, holding a sheep's head cane in his hand.

A group of people stared at Lan Nuanyu in the arms of the night twilight, staring at her so uncomfortably that she broke out in a cold sweat. She whispered to Nightmark, "What's going on now?"

Twilight glanced at her, walked up to the old man, and muttered a bunch of unintelligible language. The villagers put their hands above their heads and folded them down to their chests to make way for them.

"These people are weird. Lan Nuanyu said, and when she secretly turned her head to take another look, those people were no longer there. "The twilight marks are gone. โ€

"Although they live in the mountains and forests outside the imperial city, they are isolated from the world, and ordinary people cannot come here. โ€

"Although I am afraid of that flying basket, it is indeed absolutely amazing. The inn at the foot of the mountain, there are many guests coming and going, and they won't talk about it, right?"

"I made the basket. Night Twilight was in a good mood when she caught a glimpse of Lan Nuanyu's widening eyes in the shadow of the moon, "You know, I'm a demon." It's not easy for me to make a blood pact or something. โ€

Lan Nuanyu cut off: "It's really enough, it turns out that you are not a good thing." โ€

"It's here. Night Twilight ran a few steps, kicked on the rocks not far away, and then jumped with strength, and the two of them landed steadily in front of the pavilion hung with light yarn.

The pavilion is supported by four stout pillars, and the four corners of the top are slightly upturned with wind chimes, which make people feel as calm as a mirror, without deep seclusion, but with some flexible fun. The glazed tiles on the top reflected a patch of light and shadow, but it was half blocked by an ancient pine, leaving only sparkling light lines.

At night when the moon and stars are scarce, the birds have slept peacefully, the frogs that are not willing to be lonely make a few frog chirps, and the fireflies flying in the sky echo the sound of the flowing water of the light song. The breeze is blowing, and the dark fragrance of Qianqian flows through the mountains and rivers, above the eyebrows.

Lan Nuanyu didn't have time to appreciate such a beautiful scenery anymore, because she was suddenly thrown on the bamboo mat in the pavilion, and her waist flashed with a sharp pain. "Twilight marks, it hurts!"

"I'm the only one here on weekdays, so I'm afraid you'll have to sleep outside tonight. โ€

"Huh?" Lan Nuanyu clenched her fists, "Who let the woman sleep on the ground!" After speaking, he looked at the man again, he had already gone to the house in the distance.

Between the opening and closing of the door, a bed of cotton wool hit Lan Nuanyu's head: "For you to chase mosquitoes, no thanks." โ€

Lan Nuanyu is angry and doesn't need to fight in one place, she can't use punches and kicks, can't she use her mouth to scold? Just as she was about to spit out a word, she immediately stopped the words that had already reached her mouth, Night Twilight could actually come up with such a thing as a flying basket, and I am afraid that she could come up with a lot of ways to return to the heavenly realm, and she had to endure it for the sake of Baili.

The candlelight in the room swayed in the wind, and the figure of the twilight mark was printed on the window. Lan Nuanyu pulled her throat and asked, "Night Twilight, you may go to the heavenly realm?"

After a brief silence......

"Yes, but I'm not going. โ€

Lan Nuanyu draped the cotton wool on herself: "But don't you really want me to compensate you for the Blood Wave Treasure Sand?"

"That's right, but the Celestial Ones are even harder to mess with. In his hand, Ye Eye Scar held the bamboo slip he retrieved from the Land Temple before, that is, the bamboo slip of the Mu Mansion that wanted to be his concubine. Write on it with a pen: The girl already has a way, why do you need to ask me for advice, just change someone. It is better to be a woman, if it is not a woman, cows, horses, pigs and donkeys can also be.

"Night scars, mosquitoes here. โ€

"Cover it with cotton wool. He tossed aside the bamboo slip and opened a piece of sackcloth on which were densely written.

"Night scarring! This bamboo mat is so hard!"

"Night scar, this lantern is too bright. โ€

"Night Eyebrow ......"

"......" In just half an hour, Lan Nuanyu had already called him dozens of times.

Night Scar couldn't think of a way to deal with this matter anyway, he had never married a wife, not even the person he wanted, let alone such a jealous thing. The sound of the blue warm jade ghost crying wolf outside the house was like a reminder, disturbing his thoughts.
