The Taste of Ghosts in the World

Wuchai walked forward in the middle of the crowded demon flow.

Halfway through the battle between immortals and demons, the God Realm suddenly intervened, and the original battle had to be stopped.The immortals who participated in the battle left one after another, and the gathered little demons also dispersed in a rush, preparing to go back to their respective territories.

So many monsters came out of the barrier at the same time and scattered away, the scene was extremely chaotic.Wuchai's steps were not smooth - he had injured his leg in the fight with the general just now.

These goblins have no sense of order at all, and his subordinates were dispersed as soon as he left the enchantment, and now he can only return to the territory before making plans.

Thinking of this, he suddenly noticed a white ball of fur flashing in front of the group of monsters. He suddenly remembered that cute rabbit. He didn't know what it did after he left... The ability to transform clothes Did you learn it?Has the sweet-scented osmanthus wine been brewed yet?

Still thinking wildly, the ball of fur appeared again, and this time he could even see clearly the two dangling long ears on the head of the ball, he was squeezed to and fro by the goblins next to him, and he was very embarrassed.

—Is it really his rabbit?No, it has never been down the mountain, how could it appear in such a place?

At this time, the hairball was pushed again, its soft body staggered, and almost fell to the ground. It was this movement that allowed Wuchai to see its face clearly—the big red eyes filled with tears, opened in a panic with.

Obviously, the faces of rabbits are all furry and similar, but Wuchai recognized it at a glance - it was his rabbit.

With a light touch on his feet, he jumped up and passed over the heads of several little demons. Wuchai grabbed the bullied rabbit into his arms with a long hand, and then avoided the direction of the demon flow, and went to a remote place Just put it down.

The rabbit was still in shock, and sat softly on the ground, patting his own little chest.

"It's scary, it's scary, so the goblins at the foot of the mountain are all so scary!"

"I'm that scary too?" Wuchai looked down at it, with a smile on his lips that he didn't even notice.

"Big snake!" The rabbit recognized him now, and immediately hugged his leg with tears in his eyes, "Wow——I finally found you! The big snake is not scary at all...much kinder than those strange elves... woooo... I miss you so much……"

Unprepared by its tears, Wuchai had no choice but to squat down and pat its back stiffly. I don't know whether it was because of its intermittent words or the soft fluff rubbing against his body. I just felt that a certain part of my heart suddenly It became limp.

The rabbit's excitement finally calmed down, and it rubbed against the big snake, wiping away its tears and snot by the way, and it regained a silly smiling face, "It's great to see you again, big snake!"

"Didn't you stay on the mountain well, why did you come here?" Wuchai asked it with a frown.

"I'm here to look for you!" Rabbit said while untiing the small bundle on his back, which contained a big bamboo tube. "We agreed that you will be the first to drink the wine after it's brewed."

It opened the stopper of the bamboo tube, and immediately a clear and tangy aroma of wine wafted out, "Look, I'll keep it for you~ I didn't let the deer want to drink!" It swung its round tail proudly, its red eyes were shining, It's like saying "Look at how loyal I am and how attached I am to you, please praise me~"

Wuchai looked down at the bamboo tube brought in front of him, and didn't know what to say for a moment.

In fact, he really wanted to say that it was just a casual agreement not to take it seriously, and he wanted to ask it, do you know how dangerous it is to go down the mountain?Especially during the period of the battle against immortals...he should criticize it for its naivety and recklessness, and should educate it not to be so nice to a goblin of unknown origin, and not to be so serious when someone just says a word, he really wants to grab him Ear rubbing his face and blaming it, how can you be so stupid?

But seeing the sparkling eyes in it, these words could not be uttered.

In the end, he just took the bamboo tube silently, raised his head and took a big gulp. The aroma of the wine filled his lips and teeth, and then slowly swallowed it down his throat.

"How is it?" Rabbit asked expectantly.

"It's the best wine I've ever had."

"Eh——Really? Really?" Having received the evaluation he wanted most, the rabbit jumped up happily, grabbed his two long ears and was so excited that he didn't know what to do.

After a while, it approached the big snake, and said eagerly, "Let me taste a little? I know it's specially reserved for you, so that you can drink it first. I haven't tasted it yet... just a little bit!" Just give me a little taste..."

Wuchai generously handed the bamboo tube to it, and the rabbit took it with both hands piously, took a sip carefully, and the fluff all over his body trembled instantly, narrowing his eyes intoxicated.Staring at the rest of the wine, it thought for a while, took another sip secretly, looked up at the big snake, with a guilty expression on its face, but couldn't resist the temptation of the wine after all, and buried its face in it again after a while.

Watching it next to it like a thief took another sip, Wu Cai couldn't help laughing.

This rabbit is so similar to his former self. At that time, he was still with the leader, living a happy life every day, laughing for good wine, without any troubles, and firmly remembering every word the leader said... At that time I was naive and stupid, but now I miss that time more and more.

So he doesn't want such a rabbit to change, especially after experiencing those big and small battles, he feels more and more that this kind of innocence and stupidity is the most precious treasure.

Looking at the happy rabbit holding the bamboo tube in his arms, the long and narrow snake eyes looked soft.

During the time when he was in a daze, the rabbit had already had enough wine. It smacked its lips unsatisfied, handed the bamboo tube to Wuchai, tied its small bundle and stood up.

"There's still a lot left, drink it slowly, if not enough, come find me on the mountain, drink whatever you want."

After hearing this sentence, Wuchai narrowed his eyes, "What do you mean?"

Seemingly not understanding his question, Rabbit tilted his head and thought for a while in doubt, and then said as a matter of course: "The wine has been delivered to you, of course I have to go back."

"No!" Wuchai blurted out immediately, but was stunned after finishing speaking.He didn't know where the anger in his heart came from, but he just didn't want the rabbit to go away like this—it came all the way down the mountain to find him, and it was about to go back after delivering a bottle of wine?And it drank half a bottle by itself...

He straightened his face and said in a blunt tone: "You can't just leave me and go back by yourself."

"Why?" Rabbit was puzzled.

"Because I was injured." The serious big snake shamelessly pulled up the hem of the black robe, revealing his calf covered with scrapes and bruises.

"Ah! How did it happen?" The rabbit was frightened by those seemingly hideous but not serious injuries, and hurried over to support him, "Did you get scratched by those hordes of goblins just now?"

"It's okay, just apply your herbal medicine and it will be fine." Uchai avoided its question, and continued to pretend to be weak to the rabbit whose height was only up to his knees.

"You are injured, let me help you." The rabbit said and was about to transform into a human form.

Thinking of its naked human form, Uchai immediately stopped it.He bent down to pick up the little rabbit, and jumped into the mountain.

Returning to the small stone cave where he was recuperating back then, Wuchai put down the rabbit, turned his head and looked around, the place is still the same as when he left, except for the large tanks in the corner, which seem to have increased in number, and there is still a faint smell in the air. booze.

The rabbit sniffed contentedly, "Does it smell good? These are prepared for this year's Fragrant Wine Party. I wanted to take my sweet-scented osmanthus stuffing down the mountain to try..." Having said that, it scratched its head in frustration, "But the goblin at the foot of the mountain told me that they are going to fight someone this year, and probably won't hold a fragrant wine party."

There was a moment of silence...

"It will be done." Wuchai said suddenly.

"Eh? Really?"

"Really." Seeing its staring eyes, Wuchai frowned, "You don't believe me?"

"Believe it." Only then did the rabbit come to his senses, jumping up and down happily, "The snake said it was true, it must be true! That's great! You can go to the fragrant wine party~"

"The Xiangjiu Club is attended in human form, do you want to go there naked?" Wuchai coolly reminded it of this serious problem.

"Ah!" The rabbit was stunned for a moment, and asked in a daze, "Then what should I do?"

"You haven't learned how to transform clothes after all these years?"

Rabbit pulled his ears embarrassingly, "I'm busy making wine, I haven't practiced..."

Wu Cai really didn't expect that he didn't make any progress after such a long time, "...I'll continue to teach you, and I will teach you some basic spells by the way, the mountain is no better than here, you will be very dangerous if you don't have any self-defense."

"Well! I will study hard!" Rabbit assured earnestly, and after finishing speaking, he remembered Wuchai's injury, and went to find a herbal medicine to chop up and apply it on him.

A few days later, Wuchai's subordinates followed the evil spirit he left behind to find him, and handed him a post for the negotiation meeting.

Wuchai looked at the date on it and frowned, "Go first, I'll be over soon."

One of the demons asked: "Boss, this year's Fragrant Wine Party..."

"As usual."

"Yes!" Xiao Yao was very happy. They all hoped that the joy of the Fragrant Wine Party would be able to wash away the bad luck of this war, and they were also worried that the leader, who has never liked noise, would cancel this year's grand event just because the war just ended. Now it's all over. , They can eat, drink and have fun again.

The subordinates bid farewell and left, Wuchai walked back to the cave, and found that the human-shaped rabbit that should have been practicing here was gone. When he took a closer look, he found a little furry butt beside the wine tank.

Wuchai gritted his teeth, stretched out his hand to grab the dangling round tail, and pulled it out.

Knowing that he had been discovered, Rabbit drooped his ears guiltily, and explained in a low voice: "I... I just want to see if the quality of the newly brewed vat is good..."

"Does that mean that your spells have been practiced well?" Big Snake asked with narrowed eyes.

not bad. "

"Change it to me."

The rabbit had no choice but to change his shape. He was still the round-faced boy, but his short white hair was a little longer. He was pulling his head down and tugging on the soft little vest on his body, with loose lantern shorts on his legs.

"Is this your aesthetic?" Wuchai glanced at his vest. The clothes were open, revealing a large piece of fair skin and the white belly underneath. "Half naked?"

The bunny boy blushed immediately, grabbed the skirt of his clothes tightly with both hands, and said pitifully, "Buttons... I can't change them..."

Wuchai folded his hands, "Are you going to wear this in winter too?"

"...I can only conjure this."

Big Snake had a cold face.

"Human beings are so troublesome. If it's a rabbit, it will naturally change into thick and warm fur in winter..." the rabbit said aggrievedly.

Wuchai got angry, and stared at it with stern snake eyes, "You are almost three hundred years old, right? Even a little demon who has been a demon for 100 years can do it, why can't you do it?"

The rabbit shrank its neck in fear.

"It's not that you can't do it, but you don't do it at all! You only think about your wine all day long, and you forget your duty as a fairy!"

"I'm sorry..." The angry big snake was scary, but the rabbit still moved over and tugged at the corner of his clothes, apologizing softly, "Big snake, I was wrong, don't be angry."

Wuchai sighed, pulled the rabbit over and asked, "Do you know why we Yaozu have to practice spells diligently and concentrate on cultivation?"

"why?"

"Because we have to be stronger, stronger than those who will hurt us, so that we will not be looked down upon or bullied."

Rabbit blinked, with a confused expression, "This is different from what Daddy said."

"...what did your father say?"

"He said, before we became demons, we were plants and animals. We were bullied by others, and we would lose our lives if we were not careful. That's why we worked hard to transform into demons, so that we can protect ourselves and our important things."

Wuchai nodded, "That's not bad, it's the same as what I said."

"It's not the same." Rabbit shook his head and said, "We are not strong to make others think highly of us, but to live a more comfortable and happier life, the life we ​​want to live."

Wuchai was stunned.

"Just like me, if I were an ordinary rabbit, I wouldn't be able to make wine or make herbs for you. It would be very hard to survive every day, but as a fairy, I can do what I like to do!" Rabbit The more I talked, the happier I was, and I stretched out my hand and gestured: "Everyone should be like this~ There are goblins who like to make wine, there must be those who like to drink, there are also those who like to make snacks, and those who like to play games..."

Speaking of this, it felt as if it was suspected of defending itself, and quickly added: "Of course, there are also those who like to practice and fight. Every goblin has different pursuits. As long as we can live the life we ​​like, the purpose of our cultivation That’s it! Orochi, don’t you think so?”

It turned its head to look at Uchai thoughtfully.

Live the life you love...

Originally thought that all goblins should be like themselves, feeling unfairly excluded by the heavens, and wanted to fight for the status they deserved, but this may not be the case.

I can't help but think of that powerful fairy. I have never understood why he was indifferent. Now that I think about it, it's probably because he doesn't care. He has never been a fairy who will be bound by the attitude of the heavens, because there are more important pursuits than that...

Are everyone's pursuits different?What about your pursuit?Could it be the throne of the leader of the demon world?No, he has never felt happy since he took office for so many years, and it is far less memorable than the days when he followed Huamei back then.

He remembered what Thrush had said when he was getting estranged from the leader when he just returned from Xuanshui's side, "Little black snake, you are still young, so don't push yourself over the edge."

At that time, I always felt that he was satirizing the ideals he insisted on, but he really stepped into a dead end and went further and further away.The eyes blinded by youthful vigor can't see clearly what is the most important thing, but destroy it with his own hands.

Compared with being recognized by the heavens, there should be something more yearning for me, something more important that is worth protecting with great power... Is that what I want?

His eyes fell on the unknown rabbit.

"The life you like is brewing wine?"

Perhaps it was because of the unusual gentleness of Orochi, the rabbit blushed and stammered: "I, I also want to become stronger and protect important things, but the only thing I'm good at is making wine... so I can only work hard to make wine well. If everyone I'm happy when I drink my wine and feel happy!"

His contented smiling face was so shining that it made Hei Snake's heart tremble.

……

Wuchai squatted down, pulled him into his arms, and rubbed against the soft fluff, as if the simple sense of satisfaction from sitting on a tree branch drinking with Thrush had returned.

"If you don't want to learn, don't learn..." He said softly: "I like the wine you make very much. In the future, you will drink it for me. In exchange, I will protect you."

The rabbit blinked a pair of round red eyes, and could not speak in a daze. It took a long time to react, and hugged him heavily, pressing its furry head against the black snake's chin, "Big snake, you are so kind..."

"But you still have to learn how to transform clothes."

"Ugh..."

"At least it can change into long sleeves."

"..."

Wuchai went to the negotiation meeting the next day, and he agreed with the rabbit that he would come to pick it up before the fragrant wine meeting.

But when he got to the small stone cave, he found that the rabbit had gone to the hole, and when he was in a hurry, a mouse came out from under the haystack.

Wuchai pinched its tail and lifted it up and asked, "Where is the rabbit that lives here?"

"Bunny rabbit rabbit rabbit rabbit..." The little mouse was about to die of fright, trembling and unable to speak properly.

"Speak well!" Wu Cai shook his hands impatiently.

"Tutu is leaving first! Fragrance, Xiangjiuhui... you go directly..." Being stared at by the natural enemy, the little mouse finally couldn't stand it, rolled his eyes and passed out before he finished speaking.

Leaving the mouse behind, Wuchai immediately rushed to the place where the incense party was held.

The rabbit and its large jars of sweet-scented osmanthus wine were already waiting in the inn. Looking at the jubilant herd of bobcats, sparrows, and sika deer next to it, Black Snake's face darkened a bit.

"Big snake, are you here? Look, Aunt Shanmao and the others helped me bring the wine here!" Rabbit excitedly introduced its friends.

As soon as those little demons saw the big snake, they immediately shut their mouths in fright and slipped away quietly.

The rabbit wanted to call them back, but seeing the big snake's face, he still didn't dare, and asked timidly, "Are you going to set up a wine stall with me too?"

"also?"

"Well, Xiaolu and the others are all here to help."

Wuchai narrowed his eyes and said nothing, "You can do it yourself, I have something else to do. If you run into trouble, just tell me."

The rabbit nodded obediently, only to realize that the big snake had already left.

——Why are you angry again?The way you spoke just now was so awkward...

It looked at the door a little aggrieved.

The fragrant wine party was held as scheduled, and the rabbit's sweet-scented osmanthus wine unexpectedly won the first prize, making it as happy as anything.

The banquet on the last day was coming to an end, and it tried hard to find the black snake in the crowd. It had rarely seen him these days, and it didn't know if he was still angry.

From a distance, I saw a circle of little demons around there, and when I walked over, I found that the big snake was in the middle, he seemed to be drinking with someone, seeing that the wine jar was empty, he quickly brought a new jar.

After a while, someone came and picked up the person opposite the big snake. I don't know what they were talking about, but... the big snake looked a little sad.

Wu Chai stood there watching Feng Baisui and Qi Mu's backs go away, and when he turned around, he saw that silly rabbit running towards him.

He raised the corner of his mouth, and involuntarily showed a faint smile, let the rabbit pounce into his arms, leaned into its ear and said, "Let's go to the world."

Rabbit opened his eyes blankly.

"Accompany me to meet someone."

My sister will definitely like this rabbit... He thought, maybe he would hear the man say to himself——

"Little black snake, you have grown up."
