Chapter 29: I Can't See Him Clearly

Chang Jue listened silently, his expression was indifferent, and he didn't even tremble his eyelashes: "I hope that I give it myself, and I shouldn't expect others." ”

Forget Chen was still immersed in faint sadness, and when he heard Chang Jue's indifferent reaction, he couldn't help but look at the hand he was clasping. What kind of person this is, she can't always see clearly.

Sensing her gaze, Chang Jue thought a little, and finally took out the broken silver, asked the old man to draw a phoenix, and handed it to Forget Chen.

Forget Chen looked at the phoenix candy man in his hand, and his heart trembled inexplicably. I just wanted the sugar man's emotions to recede like a tide. Unusually, she didn't eat, just pinched it in her hand, and was pulled forward by Chang Jue in a daze.

"Why don't you eat?" Chang Jue looked at the teahouse not far away and asked in a low voice.

Hearing this, Forget Chen slowly took a bite. After a while, she shook the hand that was held in a daze: "You say, feelings ...... Is it really going to change?"

"Yes. Chang Jue replied crisply: "Nothing is set in stone." ”

When I got to the door of the teahouse, it was already dark. Forget the dust and look up at the plaque under the eaves. Moon Tower, the highest teahouse in Universiade, has five floors.

Chang Jue took Forget Chen to sit in the cubicle on the second floor, and ordered a few dishes that Forget Chen had never heard of the name.

As soon as the dishes were served, there was a striking sound downstairs, and the noisy teahouse quieted down, and the storyteller took a small gong and struck it, and first sang a small song "Three Miles of Autumn". Then he talked about the gods and ghosts of the Universiade.

"Ladies and gentlemen, let's talk about the human-faced snake and the scholar that we didn't finish talking about last time. It is said that this scholar listened to the words of the tattered old Taoist priest, and pasted a yellow charm on the bed that night......"

While listening to the dust, his mouth was not idle, and he kept eating the dishes in front of him. When she heard that the human-faced snake turned into a pool of blood, she picked up the black tea in front of her, raised her head and drank it all, so unhappy.

Putting down the teacup, she noticed Chang Jue on the other side, who didn't even move her chopsticks, but only drank the tea slowly with a calm expression.

The lights were blurred, and the busy guys came and went, and the shadows flickered, covering Chang Jue's body, bright and dark, vaguely uncertain. It shows the cold breath on his body, although he is sitting in the teahouse, he seems to be standing on the ethereal mountain top and lakeside, not stained with a trace of vulgar dust.

Forget Chen's chin propped up, and peeked at him from the bottom up, and the heart lake seemed to set off a breeze, which was quite a strange feeling.

"What are you doing?" Chang Jue put down the teacup.

"We ...... Hmm, when I was in the Nether Realm before, did I know His Highness very well?" Forget Chen asked cautiously, leaning forward with his whole body.

Chang Jue frowned slightly, but did not speak.

"I mean, I like...... I've known His Highness for a long time, even longer than the Mountain Protector. ”

Forget Chen leaned forward again, and the tassel on the neckline of his shirt almost fell into the soup bowl. Chang Jue reached out to catch the tassel and pushed her back to the stool by the neckline.

"Smack-"

With a striking shot, the second story begins.

"Let's talk about the mountain god sacrifice again, the guest officer sitting on the east side is blessed, you look outside, the high platform not far from the road is the sacrifice platform of the Universiade. Hey, do you know why the mountain god sacrifice only worships fruits, vegetables and grains?"

The Mountain Protector Divine Monarch does not eat meat, which is the confusion that Forget Chen has always had, but she didn't expect it to be because the mortal world only worships vegetables and fruits, and now her curiosity was completely attracted away. followed the voice and looked down sideways, and didn't care about continuing to ask Chang Jue.

"Who doesn't know this, because the mountain gods don't eat meat!" said a man at the next table in Forgotten Dust, laughing.

The people below also talked nonsense: "Yes, this great luck country, from the elderly to the three-year-old children, who doesn't know the mountain god vegetarian." ”

"Our Universiade country relies on the mountains, and we have to count on the mountains for everything, how can we not know the preferences of the mountain gods. Hey, even the girl has a private meeting with her lover, she has to be in that mountain forest, right? I heard that recently, there are a lot of people who spend the moon in the dense forest cave hahaha. Didn't the daughter-in-law of the Wang family steal a man in the mountains and forests and was caught by her husband. first broke a leg, and then was severely beaten by the Wang family's housewife, and died at the door of the house. ”

"I also heard about this, this daughter-in-law of the Wang family, I can see that she is not a good person before. Once, when the mountain god sacrificed, it was presented with a bag of corn with rats! She is now in such a fate, presumably because the mountain god is angry and reprimands her for her great disrespect. ”

The more everyone talked, the more excited they became, and in the hustle and bustle, Wangchen was speechless. couldn't help but retract his gaze, took the teapot, and added a cup of tea to himself and Changju.

"What?" Chang Jue took the teacup in her hand and looked up at her.

Forget Chen shook his head: "If you don't sin to death, why do you have to take people's lives, and you have to blame the Mountain Protector Divine Monarch." Fortunately, the gods were generous and gentle, otherwise they would have been punished for slandering the gods like this. ”

"It's just gossip for entertainment. ”

"A woman's life is so despised that it can be used for entertainment?" Forget Chen looked at the people downstairs with indignation, brought the tea to his lips, put it back, and put it on the table.

"The husband has the righteousness to remarry, and the woman has no other suitable text. This has been the case since ancient times, and it is not surprising that they reacted in this way. Chang Jue said lightly, picked up the teacup and took a sip.

Although he knew this truth, but listening to these words coming out of Chang Jue's mouth, Wangchen only felt uncomfortable.

Speaking of which, Forget Chen suddenly felt that the demon clan was also very good, at least in the demon clan, both men and women, could only be loyal to one person. Unlike the mortal world and the celestial race, it is really unfair that a man can have three wives and four concubines.

The storyteller saw that everyone was in high spirits, so he took advantage of the lively atmosphere, slapped the gong, and asked mysteriously: "Then have you heard of human sacrifice again?"

This time, no one answered. The chatter gradually stopped, and everyone looked at the storyteller in unison. Forget Chen also put his hand on the table and listened to him with his ears pricked up.

"Hey. The storyteller grinned, and said with his eyebrows fluttering: "By the way, this human sacrifice has been passed down for hundreds of years in the Universiade country. At that time, the people did not know the preferences of the mountain god, and in order to pray for good weather and good weather, a girl who happened to be in time would be selected every year and sacrificed to the mountain god. ”

"Nonsense, how can the girl be sacrificed, could it be like vegetables, fruits and grains, let her sit on the altar?" said the man at the next table, singing and harmonizing with the storyteller.

"Why can't you make a sacrifice? Maybe it's to build a temple for that girl, and offer delicious food and drink!"

The gossip came out again. even talked about the girl's face. As the only woman in the teahouse, Wangchen listened to it again and again.

The storyteller patted the wood: "No! This human sacrifice is to take the girl to a high platform, cut off her wrist and bleed, and drip it into the groove of the altar." It was not until the girl's blood died that the sacrifice was completed. Then, according to the flow of blood, the rain and climate for the coming year are divined. ”

"Wow...... There is such a cruel thing? It has been going on for hundreds of years? Then why didn't you do it later, and how did you know that the mountain god is vegetarian?"

"Hello to this guest officer! The storyteller said excitedly, and his whole face glowed red.

"This brings us to the year of the sacrifice, which was a dark and windy night. As usual, a young girl with an extremely beautiful face got into the sacrificial palanquin......"

"Let's go back when we're done. ”

Chang Jue didn't seem to like the story, and as he spoke, he stood up and walked over to Forgotten Chen, motioning for her to follow.

"I want to listen to it for a while, just for a while. Listen to the story and leave. "Forget Chen is hearing that she is about to solve the mystery of Shenjun's vegetarian diet, and she doesn't want to miss it.

Chang Jue glanced at her, and his eyes already carried a power that could not be denied. After a while, seeing that Wangchen still didn't get up, he was still sitting there, listening with his ears pricked up, so he stopped caring about her and prepared to leave by himself.

"Hey, Your Highness...... Your Highness, you can't go. ”

Seeing that Chang Jue was going to leave him first, Wuchen was a little anxious for a while. Except for her, they are all men here, and as soon as Chang Jue leaves, how can she continue to listen. What's more, she has never been to Wangyue Tower, and she doesn't know the way back, so she has to count on Chang Jue to take her back. At a loss -

She pulled her arms violently, wrapped her arms around Chang Jue's waist, and hugged him tightly.

Chang Jue was stunned for a moment, only to feel that his waist sank.

He looked down and saw Forget Chen sitting on the stool, and he didn't even have time to get up. Slender arms were tightly wrapped behind him, small chin was pressed against his arms, and his belt was still biting in his mouth.

The menacing appearance was like a small beast entangled in him.
