Chapter 15: Between the Cliffs

The wind from the scorching mountains came slowly, and a biting chill swept through the whole body.

Shen Chen'an sat under the tree and shivered coldly, no matter how much he drank or how bad the wine was, he drank the rest of the wine in the cup in one gulp to warm his body.

The petals that originally fell on the ground rose slowly with the wind, and Song Yu drank the wine in the cup and put the cup back in the box.

"Xianggong, do you want to see the spells of the gods? When Song Yu spoke, his eyes looked ahead.

When Shen Chen'an saw Song Yu's serious expression, he guessed that she might have seen something that they mortals couldn't see, so he said, "Ah Yu wants to do whatever he wants." ”

When the words fell, Song Yu stood up, and there was no extra movement, only to see her hand wave, and the wind protruding in the scorching mountain stopped abruptly, and there was an extra girl in front of them, wearing peach-colored clothes, and there was a very conspicuous peach blossom mark in the corner of her left eye.

The girl seemed to be shocked by Song Yu's mana, and sat down on the ground as soon as she appeared.

"Why are you hitting me? The girl looked at Song Yu aggrievedly.

It was still very immature to listen to that voice.

Song Yu looked at her condescendingly, even if this girl looked cute, Song Yu didn't have much liking in her eyes.

"The peach blossoms that fall into the wine glass will be blessed, the peach blossom fairy of the scorching mountain, is it you?" Song Yu raised his eyebrows.

"Don't know what you're talking about. The girl didn't seem to want to talk to Song Yu too much, so she got up on the ground and dusted off her body, then looked at the two of them and said, "I'm going home." ”

"Go home?" Shen Chen'an was a little surprised, except for the inn near this Zhuo Mountain, there seems to be no one to live, if you want to go to a place where someone lives, you have to walk for a long time, if you say so during the day, forget it, and say it at night, I'm afraid there is something wrong.

The girl heard the sound and looked at Shen Chen'an again, there was no annoying smell on his body, the girl smiled at him: "Yes, go home, my father is waiting for me at home, it's getting late, does the son want to rest with me?"

Suddenly invited, Shen Chen'an looked at Song Yu in shock.

Song Yu's eyes rolled and said, "Okay, I'll go with my father-in-law." ”

The girl didn't seem to like Song Yu very much, but she felt that it was not good to reject Song Yu as a girl, so she reluctantly agreed.

The three of them walked through the woods.

Shen Chen An tilted his head sideways and asked in a low voice, "Ah Yu, this girl shouldn't be an ordinary person." ”

"You guessed it, she's a ghost. Song Yu deliberately said in a very terrifying tone, and Shen Chen'an's scalp was numb when he listened, and he desperately wanted to retreat.

It's just strange that the girl did not take them down the mountain, but went up the mountain, could it be that his family lived on the top of the mountain.

Although it was only a guess, it was a coincidence that they did come to the top of the mountain, and on the other side of the mountain was a cliff.

Shen Chen'an walked on the edge of the cliff and was startled, if he accidentally stepped on the air, his life would be in danger, he looked at the girl in front of him and asked, "Girl, your home will not be under the cliff again." ”

After hearing this, the girl nodded and said with a smile: "Childe is smart, jump down with me and get home." ”

With that, the girl jumped off the cliff in an instant.

Shen Chen'an looked at Song Yu, and Song Yu was also looking at him: "Jump?"

"The girls have invited you, you can't say it if you don't jump. ”

Before Shen Chen'an could react, Song Yu pushed Shen Chen'an off the cliff.

Shen Shen An screamed in horror, and suddenly stopped falling, he looked around in shock, trying his best to control his body to make himself stable.

I saw Song Yu slowly falling beside him from the sky.

Then the girl appeared again, poking her head out of the air: "Come in." ”

Then the girl's head disappeared into thin air again.

It was the first time Shen Chen'an had seen this kind of thing, and he was stunned.

Song Yu was not surprised, pulled Shen Chen'an towards the air, stepped through the barrier, and saw a small brightly lit courtyard appear in front of him, the yard was full of peach blossoms, even more beautiful than that of the burning mountain.

Under the orange light, there was a man with gray temples, sitting under the eaves and holding props, as if he was carving something.

"Dad, I'm back. The girl shouted.

When the man heard the sound, he immediately put down the things in his hand and greeted him with a smile on his face.

Song Yu stood at the gate of the courtyard and looked at the man, he seemed to be just an ordinary mortal.

"Dad, I'll bring back the two people you just met. The girl said.

When the man saw Song Yu and Shen Chen'an, there was a hint of hostility in his eyes, and he seemed to be very resistant to outsiders.

"Who are you?"

"We were passers-by who came to Zhuoshan to see the peach blossoms, and it was late, and we happened to meet the girl, saying that she was going to take us back to rest. Song Yu said.

The girl glanced at Shen Chen'an, and then said, "Dad, that son is so fragrant, I like him, so I want to bring him back." ”

Hearing the girl's words, Shen Chen'an looked at Song Yu in shock, and didn't know what to say for a while.

After a long time, Shen Chen'an coughed and said: "Sir, my surname is Shen, this is my wife, the two of us are abrupt, if it is troublesome, we can leave quickly." ”

"It's getting late, and the night is cool, so let's come in and rest. Although the man's expression is not very friendly, he is kind-hearted.

Song Yu did not refuse, and entered the house with Shen Chen.

The room was warm, with flowers and plants hanging in the corners of the walls, and incense was lit in the room, which was strong but not pungent.

Song Yu smelled this fragrance and felt nothing at first, but after smelling it for a long time, his body was a little unwell, and his body was itchy.

Song Yu couldn't help asking, "What kind of incense are you ordering?"

The man glanced at Song Yu and said, "Rhino horn incense." ”

Hearing this, Song Yu was stunned for a moment, and quickly dragged Shen Chen An out of the house.

Seeing Song Yu's reaction so big, the three of them were a little surprised, maybe they were a little late in noticing, Song Yu's body had already reacted, her eyes had changed shape, her pupils had become golden vertical, and the red lines at the corners of her eyes were slowly appearing, but they were not too obvious.

The man came out and saw Song Yu's changes, and said in astonishment: "It turns out that you are not human." ”

Shen Chen'an saw the fawn turn into Song Yu in a dream, but he had never seen the changes in Song Yu with his own eyes, and he was afraid for a while, but thinking that she was Song Yu, the fear in his heart was also suppressed by himself a little bit, he held Song Yu tightly, without saying a word, but told Song Yu very strongly that he would not leave her.

Song Yu felt Shen Chen'an's emotions, she looked at the man and said, "That girl, isn't she not a human being." ”

The girl leaned against the door, and when she heard Song Yu say this, she couldn't believe it: "You are talking nonsense, I am a human being." ”

"If it weren't for rhino horn incense, you mortal wouldn't have been able to see her. After Song Yu finished speaking, the man's expression immediately changed, as if someone had exposed a little secret.

He looked back at the girl behind him, with mixed emotions in his eyes, and then looked at Song Yu and pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled: "I don't know what you're talking about." ”

"Don't you know?" Song Yu shrugged his shoulders and said, "Then I don't know if Mr. has heard of people and ghosts. ”

The man looked at her and said nothing.

"A person's life is only a hundred years, if the ghost is not reincarnated, as long as the yin energy does not disperse, it can last for a long time, but with the living person, it will suck the yang energy of the living person, even if it is unintentional, the accumulation of time, the living person will also shorten the life expectancy, I count that it will not be long before the rhino horn incense in this house will no longer need to be lit. Song Yu stood outside and let the cold wind blow.

The smell of rhino horn incense slowly dissipated, and Song Yu gradually returned to his normal appearance.

"The most common thing people do is to lie to themselves, after a long time, no one reminds them, even they believe in the lies they weave, the illusory dream will eventually be shattered, when the morning sun shines through the window, have you ever been afraid, afraid of broken dreams, afraid of flowers. ”

At this moment, the man was in great pain and struggling.

After staying in a dream for a long time, it is very painful to wake up, not only mentally, but also physically.

He kept backing and sat down under the eaves.

The girl immediately threw herself down to his side: "Dad, what's wrong with you?"

Song Yu looked at them, although the girl was not human, but there was no malice, the peace on their bodies made Song Yu let go of hostility a little bit, she didn't understand how people and ghosts lived together, the girl didn't seem to realize that she was no longer human, and how did he get rhino horn incense.

This rhino horn incense, don't say that it is in the world, there are not even a few pieces in the Wind God Temple, at the beginning, the wind god put away the rhino horn incense very preciously, and specially instructed Song Yu not to touch it, that thing is worth collecting.

Song Yu took a step forward and said, "People and ghosts have different paths after all. ”

The man held his head in pain, and he seemed to remember the last thing he wanted to think about.

The peach blossoms that flew in the sky that day were dyed crimson with blood.

"Daddy. The girl's voice was still in his ears, but he heard another voice: "Yunzhou." The girl's voice echoed in her ears, and a voice entered her heart.

Ah, it's her!

Yun Zhou looked at the girl in front of him, squinted his eyes and smiled: "Xiaoyou." ”

The girl named Xiaoyou raised her index finger and gently shushed in front of her lips: "Go elsewhere first." ”

"What are you doing with me today?"

When they came to the river, Xiaoyou sat on the thick branch that fell to the ground, shook his calves slightly, held the fruit he had just picked on the tree in his hand, wiped it with his clothes, and ate it with a big mouthful.

Yun Zhou took out a golden hairpin from his arms, the shape of the hairpin was a ginkgo leaf, glowing with golden luster, which looked particularly dazzling in the sun.

After looking at the golden hairpin, Xiaoyou was a little surprised and asked, "Where did you get the golden hairpin?" ”

Yun Zhou smiled slightly, walked up to her and inserted the hairpin in her hair: "This is what the prince rewarded me." ”

Xiaoyou touched the golden hairpin on his hair and asked suspiciously: "The prince is so strange, why would he reward you with a golden hairpin, you don't need a big man." ”

"Because I said I had a girl I liked. Yun Zhou sat beside her, not daring to open his eyes to look at her, but secretly observing Xiao You's expression with his side eyes.

I saw that Xiao You's face suddenly turned crimson, and he looked around with his head up, but he didn't dare to look at him, and then said hesitantly: "You have a girl you like, what does it have to do with me, I ......" She didn't know what to say for a while.

Seeing this, Yun Zhou sneered: "I want to propose marriage when I have something to do, I don't know if that girl will agree." ”

"That girl would have said yes. Xiao Yu deliberately pretended not to know anything and said.

"Then wait until I get back from this mission. Yunzhou was overjoyed.

When Yunzhou went back from Xiaoyou, Xiaoyou walked to the back door but didn't push the door open, she turned her head to look at Yunzhou: "Yunzhou." ”

Yun Zhou tilted his head and smiled, with a kind of cunning and liveliness of a teenager.

Xiao You pursed his lips, his eyes crooked: "Be careful here." ”
