The Legend of the White Fish

Today's Chiba Castle is more lively at night than during the day, and even though it is late at night, the streets are brightly lit and people come and go. The White Fish Festival is the city's favorite festival for young people, and countless young men and women are pursuing their love tonight and boldly revealing their sincerity to their sweethearts.

Shen Yu and the others drank a few rounds of wine with the people of the Ma family in the drunken building, and for the sake of insurance, they proposed to walk around the city first to prevent the big demon from hurting people tonight.

Ma Tianen saw that a few people did not want to sit for a long time, and did not stay, he did not like the excitement he also returned to the house early, the eldest son Ma Ping went to the barracks of the city guards, and when he left, he sent three city guards to accompany the second son Ma Peng to play in the city.

After leaving the drunken building, Shen Yu and the others went separately to patrol the city.

Liu Ziqi came to a stone bridge, compared to the bustling main street, it seems a little quiet, the moonlight reflects the river under the bridge into a piece of silver, and Liu Ziqi's face is not as cold as before, as soft as the moonlight tonight, a few wisps of green silk swaying on her cheeks with the wind, and her wonderful figure is particularly moving at this time under the moonlight.

She looked at the smiling crowd on the street in the distance, and a smile appeared on her face, as if she had seen her happy figure in the crowd. At this time, she is no longer the cold demon hunter of the past, just a girl who is full of love in her heart like ordinary people.

Alas, if only he could be here.

Liu Ziqi sighed lightly, looked up at the bright moon that sprinkled soft moonlight, but saw that on the roof of an attic in the distance, a figure was standing quietly there looking at the bright moon in a daze, and the moonlight illuminated his face very clearly.

Liu Ziqi looked at it and saw that the person was Shen Yu, and he looked even more handsome than before at this time.

What's wrong with this guy today, what the hell is he thinking? Liu Ziqi asked suspiciously, fixing his gaze on Shen Yu.

Sometimes she wanted to know what Shen Yu was thinking, maybe she had already guessed what Shen Yu was thinking.

Shen Yu, who has always been indecent, always tells her some things that he thinks is interesting and fun, and always stands in front of her when performing tasks.

Thinking of this, Liu Ziqi's eyes began to become confused.

Yes, although he is usually not serious and likes to argue with me, he is really good to me, but I don't need him to be nice to me, do I? I don't like the way he always makes fun of me, I don't like his boring stories, and besides, there is no place for him in my heart.

But will he always do this to me? Probably not......

Liu Ziqi's heart had countless strange thoughts, and even she didn't know why she thought about them.

At this time, she saw a figure slowly walking towards Shen Yu who was in a daze, and reached out and gently patted Shen Yu's back.

Liu Ziqi smiled lightly when he saw this scene, what a fool... She saw clearly that the person behind Shen Yu was Mu Xiaoyun, and after scolding lightly in her heart, she left the stone bridge.

"Little junior sister, you actually attacked me!" Shen Yu, who almost fell, turned around and said with a sigh of relief after seeing that it was Mu Xiaoyun.

Mu Xiaoyun smiled: "What's the matter, I'll just pat you lightly, hehe, what is Brother Shen Yu thinking?"

"What can I think, when I look at this place, most of the city can be seen, and I can see the beautiful scenery and check the movement in the city, wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone?" Shen Yu blinked, and then sat down on the roof, looking at the streets under his eyes.

"Oh, too. Mu Xiaoyun nodded, sat next to Shen Yu with her hands on her cheeks, and then stopped talking. Shen Yu looked aimlessly at the young boys and girls on the street, all with cheerful smiles on their faces.

"Brother Shen Yu, do you know why this festival is called the White Fish Festival?" Mu Xiaoyun said suddenly.

"I don't know, maybe it's a festival to commemorate which fish. ”

"Hahaha, Brother Shen Yu, you are so stupid, this is a festival about love, how can it be a memorial to a fish, haha. Mu Xiaoyun giggled, making Shen Yu's face black.

"You're stupid, so do you know why it's called Whitefish Festival?"

"Of course I know, but Brother Shen Yu is also half right, what Bai Yu said is not a fish, according to legend, in ancient times, there were not so many big demons on this continent, only a few big demons and all of them cultivated human bodies, at that time, these big demons did not attack humans, but lived in peace with humans, and human beings also called the big demons occupying the northern frontier called the demon clan. One day, a county lord of the demon clan came to Chiba City and met a scholar named Bai Jie, and the two fell in love at first sight, and then they saw each other day by day, and even planned to get married. When the demon king in the county learned of this, he strongly opposed their relationship, and the stubborn county lord was ready to elope with Bai Jie despite the demon king's opposition. ”

Mu Xiaoyun sighed and continued: "This matter was finally discovered by the Demon King, and in a fit of rage, he put the county lord under house arrest in Longbei Mountain in the northern Xinjiang. He thought that Longbei Mountain was extremely dangerous, and the miasma of poisonous snakes all over the mountain was enough to keep the scholar away from the county lord. Unexpectedly, the scholar who didn't know the height of the sky and the height of the earth actually stepped on Longbei Mountain alone in order to see the county lord, but because he was frightened in the mountain, he fell off the cliff and died. The county lord was heartbroken when he learned that Shusheng was alive and died, and eventually committed suicide by taking poison. ”

The demon king, who had lost his daughter, was both remorseful and resentful, so he ordered the body of the scholar to be found and buried with the county lord on a mountain outside Chiba Castle. Strangely, on the second day, a tree grew overnight next to the grave where the scholar and the lord were buried, and every year on July 19, people passing by the mountain could hear the scholar and the lord talking under the tree. A passing Taoist priest said that it was the county lord and the scholar who had a deep affection during their lifetime, and after death, their souls did not enter reincarnation, but turned into a Lianli tree, so that they could always be together, and July 19 was the time when the county lord and the scholar met for the first time. Because the scholar is called Bai Jie, and the county lord is called the Lingyu County Lord, so people call that mountain Baiyu Mountain, in order to commemorate the lovers who fought for love and fate, this day is also called the White Fish Festival. ”

"So that's the case, it's just a legend, but it turned out well, at least they ended up together. After listening to the story, Shen Yu said thoughtfully.

Mu Xiaoyun stared ahead blankly, "Yes, although it is poignant, it is also a beautiful legend." She whispered, I don't know if it was because she was moved by this story, but her eyes, which had always been lively and active, were a little flickering at this time.

"Brother Shen Yu, do you know? My mother told me a similar story when I was a child, and I would rather believe that it is also a legend, but my mother has always said that it is not a legend. ”

"Oh, what's the story?" Shen Yu didn't notice that Mu Xiaoyun's eyes were glistening with tears.

"A long time ago, the human race and the demon race did live in peace, when a princess of the Demon Emperor fell in love with a human general, and the Demon Emperor did not object to this relationship, they could have lived happily ever after. ”

Mu Xiaoyun paused and continued: " Later, the demon clan didn't know what happened, after the death of the old demon emperor, there were a large number of big demons in the north who did not cultivate human form, they continued to attack human beings, invaded the territory of the human race, the ruler of the human race knew that he began to organize demon hunters to hunt and kill the demon race, many demon tribes who cultivated human form were dissatisfied with the behavior of the human race also joined the struggle, and finally evolved into a war between the human race and the demon race, and finally the human race paid a great price to build a huge enchantment in the northern Xinjiang to trap the demon race, and the ruler of the human race also integrated his own flesh and blood into the enchantment to guard the northern frontier. ”

"After that war, there was not much left of the first generation of demon hunters of the human race, and the angry human race began to slaughter the demon tribe left in the human city, and the princess of the demon tribe who had already married the human general also became the target of the human race's pursuit, when the demon hunters came to the general's mansion, the general knew that he was powerless to resist, and the princess took the initiative to ask the general to give her body to the demon hunter in order not to involve the general, how could the general take it from her, and finally the two hugged each other and cried Burned in the general's mansion, what the human race didn't know was that the general and the princess of the demon clan had already had a child, in that fire, one of the general's subordinates risked his life to send the child who was born less than two months into the general's best friend King Mu's house, King Mu was originally a benevolent and righteous person, and saw that the child was pitiful and accepted him as an adopted son, and changed his surname to Mu, since then, King Mu has the blood of the demon clan in his vein. ”

After hearing this, Shen Yu let out a long breath and said, "This story is much more miserable than the legend of the white fish. He turned to look at Mu Xiaoyun, only to find that her mood was a little low.

"Little sister, what's wrong with you? You cry when you tell a story? Don't be like this, it's just a story, good. He looked at Mu Xiaoyun in front of him and laughed in his heart, this girl is so innocent.

He touched Mu Xiaoyun's head a little at a loss and comforted: "Okay, don't cry, look at you, how can you talk about crying." ”

"I didn't, I was just a little moved" She raised her head and looked at Shen Yu and asked, "Brother Shen Yu, if the human race and the demon race love each other, can they come together, right?"

"Well, of course, if you really love each other, wood and people can be together. Shen Yu looked at Mu Xiaoyun's expectant eyes and replied, he originally thought so.

"Hehe, Brother Shen Yu is talking nonsense again. Mu Xiaoyun regained her former happiness.

"I know about the battle between the human race and the demon race, but I didn't expect there to be this story in the middle, little junior sister, you know a lot. White Fish Festival, you know everything about the general's princess or something. ”

"Of course, I grew up in Mu ~ Mu Xiaoyun's father's house since I was a child, and I haven't heard any stories. Mu Xiaoyun smiled proudly and pulled the old man with Mu Zi.

Shen Yu smiled and gave Mu Xiaoyun a brain breakdown.

"But Brother Shen Yu already has someone he likes. Mu Xiaoyun said suddenly.

"What does this have to do with the fact that I have someone I like, and besides, who told you that I have someone I like. ”

"Yes!"

"Nope!"

"I can see it all, you have it!"

"You're talking nonsense-" Before Shen Yu could finish speaking, he heard Mu Xiaoyun scream.

"Ahh

Shen Yu looked there, only to see a huge fiery red monster in the distance passing from the low sky, its two sharp claws were grasping two people, the monster had two wings, extremely fast, and disappeared from Shen Yu's field of vision in an instant.

"It's a fire vulture!Little junior sister, let's go!" Shen Yu's expression became solemn in an instant, and he and Mu Xiaoyun jumped down from the roof of the attic dozens of meters away, and quickly jumped in the direction just now.
