Little Bosses and Little Monsters

"I don't hesitate to say that Hongjun guy, I was born first, but he insists on being a senior brother. Alas, I have always been aloof from the world, so I naturally let him."

"Actually, you can't beat him, right?"

"...I'll give you one more chance to say it again."

"That shameless old thief Hongjun, stop following him and go home with me."

……

"Although the scenery on Yulin Island is good, you always feel that something is missing?"

"Oh? What's missing?"

"I see. Although there are many green plants and fairy flowers on this island, there are still a few big trees that can block the sun. Occasionally, there is no good place to enjoy the cool tea."

"I just love to bask in the sun, and I don't want the sky to be covered. If you want to enjoy the cool air, aren't my waterside pavilions and fireworks pavilions enough for you?"

"Since you took the initiative to invite me to the door, then I will not be polite."

"You have a lot of tricks."

"Hahaha, don't be annoyed, let me stroke your hair."

"It's the same thing again, I won't eat it again."

……

"The peaches in Tianshui Village are ripe, I wanted to invite you to pick them, but unfortunately Chi You came to look for me yesterday, I'm afraid the area is not peaceful recently."

"Xuanyuan really can't bear it anymore?"

"I expected this battle to be inevitable, but it's a pity that this year's sweet peaches can only be cheaper than the hozens in the mountains."

"If they beat them, they can hinder us. Don't they dare to provoke us? At this time, both of them want to win us over, and no one dares to offend us. If you want to eat peaches, I will go some other day Pick up two big baskets and send them over."

"I'm not in a hurry for this day. There are peaches every year, but I don't know how long this battle will last. Don't be careless, although the two of them have no grievances or enmity with you, but..."

"Who says there is no wrong and no enmity, did you forget that shameless old thief Xuanyuan spread rumors about you last time? I haven't forgotten, this shameless old man, look at me to make trouble for him!"

……

"There was a drought in the south, and Bai Ze invited Manman to help. Manman came back and told me that Fuxi and Nuwa had not seen each other for many days."

"Whatever they do, who is interested in knowing?"

"Take care of yourself. The Yellow Emperor should have known about the troubles you caused when you went to the battlefield a few times ago. He has been dissatisfied with you for a long time. Maybe he told Fuxi about it."

"Let him come! Do you think I'm afraid of him? If Fuxi really dares to do this for Huangdi, he will be beaten until he dare not say he is my brother again."

"You stay on the island to avoid the limelight, and you have the right to accompany me. Even if something happens to Fuxi, one more me will give you three more guarantees."

"Do I still use you for protection? You underestimate your man too!"

"Say, what nonsense! Get out of bed!"

……

"Although Yulin Island is beautiful, it feels a bit boring after a long time. If it weren't for the current chaos, I would really like to travel to the human world and see some different customs and customs."

"Those mortals who are old, sick and dying, have no support and no support, do you feel excited just looking at them?"

"I actually think that ordinary people have their own flavors in life, ups and downs, and all kinds of flavors in life. In just 50 years, a bowl of thick soup has all kinds of flavors. Like you, the days are diluted, and it tastes like white water. A jar of plain water or a bowl of thick soup, which would you choose?"

"I, I'm not a tank of water, I'm a tank of wine, the strongest kind, if you smell it, you'll get drunk."

"You love to put gold on your face, so I won't argue with you. But human life is indeed too short, like a fleeting moment, a quick look, but you can't remember anything when you look back."

"I heard that there is a three-foot-three-forked, leafless and flowerless tree planted in Haotian. When cut, the annual rings have nine hundred and ninety-nine turns. It can record all kinds of events. It is called the three-life tree. I will make it for you. Make a booklet to record what you saw and heard along the way, do you like it?"

Do you like it or not?

Are you happy?

……

The moonlight poured into the room, reducing the temperature of the tabletop to an extremely low level, and the clear water in the tea bowl trembled suddenly. In the hazy night, Tianwang suddenly sat up.

His chest rose and fell violently, but he swallowed all his gasps.

Shu Jing was sleeping next to him, breathing evenly and sleeping peacefully.

Tianwang covered his mouth, glanced cautiously at the person beside him, and propped himself up on the bed to get out of bed.

The courtyard was completely clear, and a thin layer of hoarfrost formed on the leaves of the gladiolus, and when you wipe it with your hand, it will form a heavy black mark.

Wearing only a loose vest and pajama pants, Tianwang stood in the yard, closed his eyes and quietly felt the silver light of the moon bathing himself, like a huge "magnet", and the cool wind swirled around his body in the night , penetrated his tight skin, and flowed along the blood vessels around his body, as if he could hear the puffing sound of each cell after being fully absorbed.

Some more subtle information is hidden in this wind. In the quiet world, slow down and zoom in, piece together broken pictures, and connect together in Tianwang's spiritual world. There is an invisible big hand in front of Tianwang, spontaneously Adjusting the sequence of the pictures, it finally piled up like a stack of transparent photos, and the surrounding pictures were blurred. Only the figure of a man was piled up layer by layer, and finally vividly presented in his mind.

The image shattered with the opening of Tianwang's eyes. At this moment, the boy's eyes no longer belonged to a dog, but a life more resolute and ruthless than a wolf. Ruju's eyes seemed to have substance in the dark night, cutting off 5000 years have passed, no matter whether the past is remembered by people or has disappeared like smoke with time, the past cannot be traced back after all.

The one standing here at this moment, and the one who will continue to stand in the future, is him.

This is enough.

There was a sound of air friction caused by a certain fast movement outside the wall. Tian Wang looked sideways, and in the dim night light of the city, a huge black shadow fell from the sky, like a giant net, covering the entire small courtyard.

***

Except for one name, "Ping Peng" didn't explain too much about him, but in fact, Jiuying knew him far more than "Ping Peng" thought. From the first time they met, the beast's keen sense of smell was obvious. Already aware of something, it's just that the docile herbivore doesn't know it, thinking that he has been playing human perfectly all along.

In the Great Wilderness, there is a mountain named Ji Ji Ju, which is entered by the sun and the moon.There is a beast with heads on the left and right, and its name is Pingpeng.

Pingpong is a kind of beast with two heads, so the will is always facing each other, one head wants to go this way, the other head wants to go there, but the situation of Pingpong is different from split personality, because After all, the two wills still belong to the same soul, but probably a very variable and strange soul.

When they met for the first time, Jiuying's body was like a huge existence, casting a shadow from a height, covering Pingpeng's petite body, and taking the other party into his territory, but from the beginning to the end, Pingpeng himself did not have no idea.

So when Jiuying really wanted to find this little friend, everything was not that difficult.

First of all, the road that Pingpeng takes home from work every day, which belongs to Pingpeng’s strongest breath, Jiuying followed those clues to find Pingpeng’s home, which is very in line with his appearance, an ordinary old-style community , a small but well-equipped apartment.

The sun had already set, which provided some convenience for Jiuying's actions. He sneaked into Pingpeng's house with little effort.

There are a lot of things in the small screened house, so it looks a bit messy, but it is not messy, everything is placed in an orderly manner, which makes Jiuying, who has obsessive-compulsive disorder, feel very comfortable. A coat, which was worn on the day when the screen tent last appeared, and flip-flops in front of the sofa, and a half-eaten cake on the coffee table, which made the tidy room a little more popular.

But also more weird.

Jiuying frowned.

This scene seemed to be stuck three days ago. Ping Peng packed the cake from his shop, returned home, sat on the sofa and savored it carefully, and then suddenly pressed the pause button, everything stopped abruptly, and the things were still there. , that person was erased.

In the cold air, there is a hint of fishy and sweet smell.

Jiuying walked into the bedroom, the window was not closed, the beige curtains were blown in an arc by the wind, and the breath of the dried blood in front of the window sill kept sending to Jiuying's nose.

In an instant, a huge phantom rose from the ground behind Jiu Ying, with nine snake heads fixed on the ceiling, making a piercing "hiss" sound towards the blood stain in front of the window.

The window was wide open, and there were bloodstains from scratches on the metal sill, showing that the screen was in a panic when it fled here, and must have been injured.

There was a cold and evil aura lingering in the room. Jiuying didn't recognize this aura, but felt a little familiar. He thought about it for a while, and found that he had felt the same on the boy's corpse.

Looking back on the recent rumors of Yaozu's disappearance, we can probably guess what happened to Pingpeng, but I don't know why the other party is staring at Pingpeng, and more importantly, to find Pingpeng's whereabouts immediately. He has been missing for three days, and things can happen during this period. Many things, perhaps irreparable.

Before Jiuying had time to regret the three days he wasted, he jumped down from the window and disappeared into the night before his shadow was cast on the ground downstairs.

His sense of smell is not as good as Tianwang, so it is difficult to find the traces of Pingpeng in the whole city, so Jiuying was at a loss for a moment, and decided to go to "There is a story" to find foreign aid first.

He didn't expect that as soon as he entered the yard, Tianwang would stand in the middle to greet him, but the light that Tianwang greeted at that moment made Jiu Ying feel a little stinging in his eyes, but he didn't care too much, and quickly expressed I have come here.

After Tianwang listened, he glanced at the closed door, and he hesitated a little when the outstretched steps fell.

Shu Jing's long voice like flowing water came from the house: "Go."

Tianwang just nodded, and he and Jiuying rushed into the seemingly endless night.

"Squeak."

The door opened, Shu Jing came out, poured some water on the gladiolus, and wiped off the frost that had condensed on the leaves.

In the shadow of the front door, two faint balls of green fire were slowly released.

"Go and hang a sign in front of the door, it will not open tomorrow."

"Ok sir."
