The Pheasant Essence is going to be a big monster

After crossing the Wuling Mountains, it is under the jurisdiction of Kuizhou Road.At this time, when the autumn is high and the air is crisp, the mountains and plains are full of lush greenery.The terraced fields cultivated by the Miao people are winding and winding along the ridges. From a distance, the green tea, rice, yellow cotton and white cotton are just like the pleated skirts worn by Miao girls, which is too beautiful to behold.

Gu Tailai's master's school and his hometown are both in the area of ​​Chengdu, and the few people left Chenzhou and headed northwest. It was half past Shenshi that day, and they arrived near Suo Miao Village.It was originally a journey of two people, but now it has become a journey of four people.Zhou Zhaoji and Gu Tailai were originally from the same school, Gu Tai came back to the teacher's school, Zhou Zhaoji naturally went back, and Ji Lanye followed Ji Xiaocai.Nan Dou Xingjun let him go on vacation, which lasted for three hours, and the human way is "a day in the sky, a thousand years in the world", Ji Lanye has a lot of time to squander on the earth, and he also has a lot of time to persuade Ji Xiaocai to go home.

In fact, at first, when Ji Lanye saw his baby brother, he had the idea of ​​taking him back indiscriminately, but he didn't expect to encounter Zhu Ye when he went down the mountain. Now that the matter is over, But because of this, he owed a favor to Gu Tailai's brothers and sisters. From this incident, Ji Lanye saw how much Gu Tailai held in Ji Xiaocai's heart!

As the elder brother, Ji Xiaocai's temperament is the clearest. The more gentle and honest he is on weekdays, the more persistent he becomes when he has something he likes. , this matter should not be urgent, so he followed Ji Xiaocai to persuade him with good words, and on the other hand, he tried to find out the origin of Gu Tailai.

The appearance of Gu Tailai in the ancient city that day, Ji Lanye still feels scared when he thinks about it. An ordinary person would not have his ability, and he didn't know anything about Zhou Zhaoji's situation after he broke into the enchantment that day, and he didn't know whether he used it or not. What was the method to make Gu Tailai calm down again, only the evil and domineering aura that destroyed the world still impressed him deeply.

As No. 1 under the seat of Nandou Xingjun, who is in charge of life and death in the world, Ji Lanye personally checked Gu Tailai's life fortune after the incident, and it was recorded that this person was poor all his life, had no wife and children, and had no fortune. Can be traced back up, but no results.

Gu Tailai's past is not recorded in the book. It seems that this person's past and past events cannot be clearly stated to others. This makes Ji Lanye feel even more puzzled. On the contrary, Zhou Zhaoji has written clearly in his life. Shouyuan 88 , died in Dongyue, with good luck and fortune throughout his life, although he was not rich, he was able to maintain health, peace and happiness, and had two children.

Ji Lanye couldn't help but think of Zhou Zhaoji's rascal face, and felt that his back was chilly for a moment, and secretly slandered that he didn't know which unlucky woman married such a rascal.Just thinking about it, someone hugged his waist, followed by someone blowing on the back of his neck, and said in a low voice, "Brother Ji..."

Ji Lanye was so startled that he immediately knocked his back elbow on the bridge of the other's nose, turned around, and saw Zhou Zhaoji bent over his nose and hummed desperately.Ji Lanye said angrily, "What are you doing!"

Zhou Zhaoji wailed: "Brother Ji, why did you hit me, I was kind enough to give you a hand, you are about to fall."

It was only then that Ji Lanye realized that because he was so engrossed in thinking, he had reached the edge of the cliff at some point, and if he took another step forward, he was about to fall off the cliff.His face became slightly hot, but he said in his mouth: "I'm a fairy, even if I fall, I won't die!"

Zhou Zhaoji hummed twice, as if he was saying "good intentions are not rewarded".

Ji Xiaocai turned around and called, "Brother, Daoist Zhou, please hurry up, don't lose track of me!"

Ji Lanye responded, and when he brushed past Zhou Zhaoji, he stopped and said in a stiff voice, "Thank you." Before he walked forward, Zhou Zhaoji smiled, rubbed his nose, and followed.

Gu Tailai and Ji Xiaocai are talking to a Miao people at the front.It was an old tea farmer, wearing Miao people's clothes, carrying a tea basket, and holding a dry pipe.After meeting a few people, he looked at them with a smile and said: "It's just in time, it's getting late, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to go out of the mountain, so just stay in our village for one night, and leave tomorrow."

The Sanmiao area has always been a system. Although it is under the emperor's rule, it has its own set of rules.The Miao people originally only spoke Miao language, and later learned some official Chinese, but most of them were young people who spoke better. The old man's official language was not bad. Although he had an accent, he could understand it. He probably often went out to do business with the Han people. Learned.

Ji Xiaocai held Ji Lanye's hand and said, "Brother, uncle said that they are going to hold the "Full Moon Festival" in the village these few days, it's interesting, let's go and have a look."

Ji Lanye grew up in Fengming Mountain since he was a child. He devoted himself to cultivating the Tao and was pure in heart and asceticism. Feeling interested, he touched Ji Xiaocai's face and said, "Well, big brother will go with you." Turning around, I saw Gu Tailai looking at Ji Xiaocai with a smile on his face, the two looked at each other, Gu Tailai nodded slightly, Ji Lan Ye Yi didn't know how to respond for a while, so he could only snort coldly.

A few people followed the tea farmer back to the village. This Miao Village has a nice name called Yinsuo Village.The stockade is built on the mountainside, and the wooden buildings slipping away in the twilight, some with hanging feet on the mountain wall, and some on the ground, look up and down, very eye-catching.Before entering the village, I could smell the aroma of rice, the sound of the wind was mixed with the loud and clear voice of Lusheng, and the laughter of some young people was also heard.

This Miao Min's father's surname is Dewa, so Ji Xiaocai called him Dewa's father.He said that the Miao people would hold a "full moon festival" every Mid-Autumn Festival. The villagers played the reeds and tambourines, offered sacrifices, sang to each other, and danced to the moon. In addition to thanking the harvest, it was also a good time for the young people in the village to find their sweethearts.Ji Xiaocai looked all the way, and sure enough, she saw all kinds of festive harvest decorations hanging on the eaves and doors of every household, golden corn cobs, bright red peppers, young girls wearing beautiful colorful skirts, and silver ornaments on their bodies when they walked around. Then it made a crisp and pleasant sound, like a low whisper.

There is a large highland in the center of Yinsuo Village, which is made of pebbles and loess. On the highland are piles of firewood and sacrificial utensils for festivals. Altars, tributes, and painted cloth are piled up as high as a hill. People are busy making arrangements in the middle of the field.

A middle-aged man saw Father Dewa, waved his hand from a distance, said something in Miao language, ran over to meet Ji Xiaocai and the others, and then changed his official language: "Father, these people came from afar Is it a guest?"

Daddy Dewa knocked on his cigarette pipe and said, "Nazuo, these guests are staying at our house today, you have to let Nazuobao go home to cook some good dishes and treat these guests well. "

The play answered, and ran back to the high platform. Not long after, a woman with crooked eyebrows hurried over, met Father Dewa, took the things in his hand, and said, "Father , the food at home is already ready, I'll warm it up for you." Then he looked back at Ji Xiaocai and the others.This Miao woman's woman is not like the Central Plains women, she is bound by many rules all the year round, she looks at people directly and enthusiastically, and said to Ji Xiaocai: "This guy is so handsome, our Jinzi must be very happy to see him." Then I asked Ji Xiaocai, "Young man, what's your name? Are you married yet? Our Jinzi is thirteen this year. There is nothing wrong with singing, dancing, embroidery, and work, but she is a good girl who is famous all over the country!"

Ji Xiaocai's face turned red when she heard that, Ji Lan was ambitious, thinking that her younger brother was shy since childhood, and was about to come forward to block her, but she saw Ji Xiaocai blushed but said firmly: "Thank you for your kindness, sister, but unfortunately Xiaosheng already has one." The one you like." Saying that, he secretly went to see Gu Tailai.

The Bao Bao was not angry after hearing this, and smiled boldly: "Since that's the case, we can only forget it." Looking at Gu Tailai, Zhou Zhaoji and Ji Lanye, he was about to speak, and Father Dewa cleared his mind Throat: "So Baobao, Jin Zi is still young, what are you doing in such a hurry?"

Na Zuobao smiled awkwardly: "Father is right, I am afraid that gold will be the same as honey in the future..."

Father Dewa stomped his feet: "What nonsense, Mijina is a great blessing from the third generation, how many of them can have her blessing!"

The Baobao just muttered in a low voice: "You say it's a blessing, but we women don't think so. In the past..." The second half of the sentence was in Miao language, and Ji Xiaocai and the others couldn't understand it.Father Dewa said a few words in a straight voice, and the security guard also replied a few words, and then said: "Okay, okay, look at my temper, I have delayed all the guests here, everyone must be hungry, hurry up Come home with me."

This Yinsuo village is not small. There are about forty families from the beginning to the end of the village. Father Dewa's house is a wooden building on stilts in the north. Ji Xiaocai and the others went north along the pebble path in the village. All the doors were open, and only one door was closed. Through the wooden door, Ji Xiaocai faintly heard someone crying in the room, and occasionally sighed once or twice.

Everyone else is happy, it's strange that only this family is gloomy, not to mention that this family's house is very festively decorated, all kinds of paper-cut festive patterns are pasted on the doors and windows, dragon and phoenix show auspiciousness, it seems that a happy event is about to be held.Ji Xiaocai couldn't help but look a few more times, just in time to see a woman coming out of the house.Looking in through the carved door leaf, one can also see the woman's graceful figure and white skin. Although she can't see her face clearly, she must be a beauty.

Gu Tailai held his hand beside him and said in a low voice, "Don't look at it."

Ji Xiaocai was a little puzzled, Gu Tailai said softly, "It's a divine marriage."

It was only then that Ji Xiaocai suddenly realized that people always presumptuously guessed God's will, and in order to obtain God's blessing, they offered gifts that they thought God would like.Whether it is the dragon king or the mountain god, when there is really no gift to give, the bride must be given, regardless of whether the other party needs it or likes it or not.But there are indeed clear evidences that after the brides were presented in some places, there was rain or a good harvest. As for whether those women were really taken away by God, no one knew...

"Has God's bride ever had a happy ending?"

"Who knows!" Zhou Zhaoji hiccupped on the table and lazily answered Ji Xiaocai's question, "Anyway, it has nothing to do with us."

The enthusiastic Sister Zhuobao brought a lot of Miaojia dishes, such as smoked bacon, sour tofu, and fried jerky with bracken, which made your index finger move.The Miaoling chicken brought out from the clay pot made the Ji brothers frown, but more than half of them fell into Zhou Zhaoji's stomach.He is shorter than Gu Tailai, and also quite thin, but his appetite is not much less than that of Gu Tailai.

Gu Tailai stopped his chopsticks and said, "A real immortal doesn't care about people asking for things. Those who are greedy are mostly climatic and trouble-making monsters."

After hearing this, Ji Xiaocai showed a worried look on her face: "Will those married girls..."

Ji Lanye clasped his hands and said, "That's not necessarily the case. Even though they are monsters, they are not all bad, and they live their own lives. It's normal to want to marry a girl if you really like someone. It is stipulated that demons cannot marry people.”

When Ji Xiaocai thought about it, it made sense.

Gu Tailai said: "It's just that there is always a difference between humans and demons, and life and death will be separated sooner or later."

Ji Lanye nodded: "So, every once in a while, people will offer new brides."

Ji Xiaocai let out an "Ah", completely unaware of such a situation: "If the bride in the past passed away, do I have to get a new one?"

Zhou Zhaoji lazily said: "Not necessarily, if the monster is tired, the old one will not die, and he will want to replace it with a new one, right? If you meet a woman who is obsessed with women, it will harm one side."

Ji Xiaocai squeezed her chopsticks: "Aren't those brides very pitiful?"

Ji Lanye glared at Zhou Zhaoji, comforted Ji Xiaocai and said, "Not every monster is like this, most of the ones who accept offerings and keep the peace will not be bad monsters, otherwise the Heavenly Court won't just ignore it."

Ji Xiaocai still couldn't let go: "Then are the gods here good or bad?"

"Of course you are a good master!" Jin Jin lifted the curtain and walked in, holding a tea tray in her hand, holding a lot of fragrant tea, she put a cup in front of Ji Xiaocai, and said with a smile, "Brother Xiaocai, come and taste Try our Miao family's Wanhua tea."

Zhou Zhaoji joked next to him: "Brother Xiaocai can taste it, but we can't?"

Jin Zi wrinkled his nose mischievously and said, "Brother Xiao Cai can taste it, and of course Uncle Zhao Ji can taste it too."

Ji Lanye choked and patted his chest, the smile on his face was obvious.

Daddy Deva's granddaughter, Jin Zi, is a 13-year-old girl. Compared with girls of Zhongyuan's age, she is not as good in terms of physique or appearance.She is more like a big girl. Her dark and rosy face is the result of working in the mountains all the year round. Although she is not fair, she looks very healthy. She is wearing a short Miao skirt. The girl's ankles and hands are wearing simple and beautiful She has a silver bracelet that jingles when she moves it. Her voice is sweet, her appearance is pleasing, and she exudes a girlish delicacy all over her body, which makes people happy at first sight.

Ji Xiaocai carefully took the tea from Jin Zi's hand, but instead of drinking it herself, she brought it to Gu Tai and said, "Master Taoist, drink it first."

Jin Zi's face changed color in an instant, he stamped his feet, and said angrily, "Brother Xiao Cai is a bad guy!" Putting down the teacup and running out, Ji Xiaocai was puzzled.

Gu Tai looked at the number of tea slices in that cup, and then at the other three cups, and couldn't help but laugh.The young men and women of the Miao family often use tea as a matchmaker to convey their hearts, but Ji Xiaocai, a little stupid chicken, obviously doesn't know this, so she recklessly entrusts other people's love to Gu Tailai...

The second monk Ji Xiaocai couldn't figure it out, so he had to ask Gu Tailai for help: "Master, what did I do wrong?"

Gu Tailai shook his head with a smile: "No." Picking up the cup of tea, he took a sip carefully and said to Ji Xiaocai, "Good tea."

Ji Xiaocai was still at a loss, but seeing the expression on Gu Tailai's face, she felt that he was very happy, so she also put it down and brought other tea to drink. Ji Lanye looked at the two of them, the expression on his face was very subtle, only Zhou Zhaoji still smiled. I was beating my chest, muttering to myself, how am I like an uncle?

It was late at night, and the blue sky and bright moon could be seen through the window.Tomorrow is August [-]th, the moon is big and round on the mountain, and the autumn wind is cool, bringing joy and laughter, which makes people feel peaceful.Ji Xiaocai couldn't help pushing open the window sash, leaning on the window sill and looking down, a bonfire was already lit on the high platform that she passed just now, and some Miao people were singing folk songs around the fire, the singing was clear and clear, as if flying on the wind.

Ji Xiaocai was watching, when she suddenly saw a young man downstairs rushing over, entered the door of Dewa's father's house, and then heard the voice of the elder sister Bao Bao from the outer room, mixed with Jin Jin's voice, and they shouted. Miao Yu chatted hurriedly, as if something had happened.After a while, Jin Zi opened the curtain and came in, Ji Lanye stood up first: "Miss Jin Zi, do you have something important to discuss, we can go back to the room first."

The eldest sister Xiangbao also followed in, and hurriedly waved her hands: "Nothing, just sit and sit. You guys are the distinguished guests of our village, so it's good to rest here, our gold is just here to get something."

Behind her was the young man whom Ji Xiaocai saw downstairs just now. He was in his early twenties, handsome in appearance, but his eyes were a bit strange, especially when he was looking at Ji Xiaocai.

Jin Zi rummaged around and picked up a box, and said in Mandarin, "Grandma, I have brought good things."

The elder sister Baobao asked beside him, "Have you brought all the threads?"

Jin Zi rummaged through the box and said, "I have brought them all."

The young man said, "Can you really mend gold?"

On the surface, Jin Jin seemed to be in trouble, and said, "Brother Luo Jie, Jin Zi can only try it. Sister Mi Jie's Bainiao Chaofeng dress took two months and hundreds of kinds of threads to embroider together. Now that the cut is broken, gold alone may not be able to repair it.”

Ji Xiaocai was listening, and suddenly said: "Jin Zi, what are you talking about, are the clothes broken and need to be repaired?"

Luo Jie said very bluntly: "The bride's dress that is going to be married tomorrow is broken, what can you do?"

Ji Xiaocai rubbed her hands together: "Can you take me to have a look, maybe I can fix it."

Jin Zi was stunned: "Brother Xiao Cai, can you embroider?"

Ji Xiaocai said, "A little bit." Turning to Ji Lanye, "Brother, can I help them?"

Ji Lanye reluctantly nodded and said, "I'll accompany..."

Ji Xiaocai waved her hand and said, "No big brother, I just need Jin Zi and the others to accompany me. The bride is at home, so it's not good to see too many strange men." Then, without waiting for Ji Lanye's answer, she followed Jin Zi out of the house .

Ji Lanye sighed, and when he turned around, he saw Zhou Zhaoji looking at him closely, and asked, "What are you looking at!"

Zhou Zhaoji scratched the back of his head: "You stare at your younger brother as if you were staring at your daughter-in-law!"

Ji Lanye was furious: "What did you say!"

Zhou Zhaoji jumped up: "Brother Ji, don't, I didn't say anything!"

Eldest sister Bao Bao smoothed things over: "I'll take you to the room to have a look, take a shower early, and sleep comfortably."

Just now Ji Lanye suppressed his anger, followed the security guard to look at the guest room, booked a room for himself and Ji Xiaocai, Zhou Zhaoji and Gu Tailai, and went to take a bath contentedly.

It was past midnight when Ji Xiaocai came back, and the mending took longer than he thought.The bride Mijie's wedding dress embroidery is too complicated and uses many colors. After accidentally cutting it, it took a lot of time just to sort out the thread ends. Fortunately, Jin Jin is a good hand. With her help, it was completed .That's the case, because one of the color threads has been used up, Ji Xiaocai had no choice but to change the pattern reluctantly, and even ended up having to secretly pick out her own feathers for repairs.Fortunately, the final result was satisfactory. Jin Zi was fascinated by Ji Xiaocai even more because of the vivid picture of birds. Not as beautiful and capable as myself, and finally even talked about whether I can give birth to myself!Ji Xiaocai was sweating all over when she heard this, and she didn't know how to respond to the aggressiveness of this girl.Fortunately, at home, Jin Zi was dragged back to the room by her mother, and Ji Xiaocai was relieved.

The sister Baobao showed Ji Xiaocai the location of the guest room, and boiled bath water for him, letting him rest by himself.Ji Xiaocai went back to her room to get a change of clothes, and carefully soaked herself in the bathtub.

He didn't say a word along the way, but the injuries he suffered in the ancient city were not completely healed, perhaps because Zhu Ye's resentment was too strong, spells didn't work very well on those wounds, Ji Xiaocai could only apply some wound medicine and slowly recuperate .Although the wounds are slowly scabbing, they will still burst open if one is not careful, especially the shoulder injury.

Just as Ji Xiaocai moved, she grinned her teeth in pain. After thinking about it, she decided to wipe the matter away.Suddenly the door squeaked and was pushed open. Ji Xiaocai turned her head and was surprised to see Gu Tailai standing at the door.

"Taoist..." He stammered, "You...how do you..."

Gu Tailai stared at him for a while, and said, "Are you still injured?"

Ji Xiaocai's voice was like a gnat: "It's gone...it's nothing?"

But Gu Tailai came over, took the wet cloth in his hand and said, "Sit down, I'll wash it for you."

Ji Xiaocai only heard a bang in her head, and her neck turned red.

The bathroom was quiet, only the sound of Gu Tailai soaking the cloth towel in the water and lifting it up, and the rustling of the trees when the night wind blows through the woods outside.

Ji Xiaocai sat in the bathtub, her body was soaked in hot water, and she felt hot all over.He was originally a shy person. After having skin-to-skin contact with Gu Tailai, it was easier to think wildly in such a scene. Gu Tailai's every move, every breath, and the feeling of his fingers touching his skin It made him tremble uncontrollably.

Ji Xiaocai felt that something was broken somewhere, and her mind was full of the ups and downs with Gu Tailai that night.The more you warn yourself not to think, the easier it is for your thoughts to slip there. In this way, every movement of Gu Tailai seems to have a different meaning.Whether it's the rough fingers rubbing against the shoulder line, or the warm palm gently pressing on the back, it's obviously just an ordinary scrubbing action, but it all makes him think about it.

Ji Xiaocai's body turned red very quickly, and he didn't know whether it was from being soaked in hot water or from being ashamed. He just felt that under such circumstances, Gu Tailai was obviously kind enough to help him take a bath, but he was thinking of something wrong. No, I'm really ashamed of others, so I just hope that this suffering will end soon, but Gu Tailai doesn't know if he thinks that he has not washed himself in order to heal his injuries these days, so he is too dirty. They all seemed extremely slow and meticulous. The hands with rough calluses rubbed Ji Xiaocai's back inch by inch, poured water on it, scrubbed it gently, occasionally hit some soap locusts, pressed it, and then poured water on it. It's slowly, slowly...

Ji Xiaocai couldn't sit still in such silence, and had no choice but to talk nonsense.

"Well, Dao... Daoist, the bride's wedding dress has been repaired..."

"Um."

"The bride's wedding dress is so beautiful. It has a pink background and is embroidered with hundreds of birds and flowers. There are hundreds of kinds of embroidery thread. Jin Zi said that the masters in their village spent several Yue just made it, but somehow it was cut..." Ji Xiaocai stopped suddenly when she said this, and said, "Master Dao, the bride seems very unhappy."

Gu Tailai wiped his back and asked, "Why are you unhappy?"

Ji Xiaocai recalled the appearance of the bride Mijie: "Both her eyes were swollen from crying. In fact, I... I suspect that she broke the wedding dress herself."

"Oh?"

"Well, because Jin Zi said that if you want to marry the great witch god here, you must wear that wedding dress and follow the god-respecting rules. Maybe she thinks that if the clothes are cut, she doesn't need to marry."

Gu Tailai pressed Ji Xiaocai's shoulders, and the kneading strength just made Ji Xiaocai couldn't help squinting her eyes comfortably. He heard Ji Xiaocai's comfortable humming in her throat, and couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips: "Even if she doesn't If you want to marry, there will be others who want to marry, and one of them must marry.”

"Why? Does that great witch god like marrying a wife so much? He has never met Mijie before, so how does he know that he will like her? What if he doesn't like her then?"

Gu Tai said, "Change."

Ji Xiaocai said "ah", and Gu Tailai pressed his shoulder and said, "Change your position and lie on the side of the basin, I can't wash under you."

Ji Xiaocai's eyes almost popped out, and she stuttered instantly: "Down, down, down..."

Gu Tailai pressed him against the edge of the basin, reached into the water, and lightly touched the part of his lower back: "Here."

When Ji Xiaocai was touched by him like this, her waist almost went limp, she couldn't help moaning, she was so ashamed that she couldn't say anything.These few days he was busy recovering from his injuries, and Ji Lanye was always by his side, not to mention getting closer to Gu Tailai, he even had to watch carefully when he spoke, such intimate contact really stimulated him too much.Ji Xiaocai buried her face in her arms, really feeling ashamed to face others.

He heard Gu Tailai seem to be laughing in a low voice, followed by rustling sounds in his ears, the surface of the water was turbulent, and the oppressive heat came from behind.Ji Xiaocai couldn't help turning her head away, she was stunned at first glance, Gu Tailai took off her shirt, revealing her lean chest, and stood in Ji Xiaocai's bathtub.

Ji Xiaocai's passionate blood rushed to her forehead, she stammered for a long time, and could only say: "Daodaodaodao!"

Gu Tailai couldn't help laughing, and patted his face affectionately: "What are you thinking, the injuries on your body are still not healed."

Ji Xiaocai knew that she was thinking too much, she wished she could get to the bottom of the water, and only half of her face was exposed on the water surface, but Gu Tailai stretched out her hand, hugged her waist tightly and lifted it up, and fished it to the side of the basin.The bathtub was originally quite big, but two grown men were squeezed in, the space was limited, Gu Tailai was almost clinging to Ji Xiaocai's back.He still took the cloth towel and helped Ji Xiaocai to scrub gently, as if he had no distracting thoughts, but Ji Xiaocai could only hear her heart beating non-stop.

Seemingly feeling the awkward atmosphere in the room, Gu Tailai suddenly cleared his throat and said, "20 years ago, that great witch god once married a woman in the village." His voice was a little hoarse, but Ji Xiaocai didn't notice it. Attracted by Gu Tailai's words.

"Married?"

Gu Tailai looked at the criss-crossing scars on Ji Xiaocai's back, and his eyes were deep: "The old people in this village said that the woman who married the gods in the past was also from Miju's family, named Duo Luojie, who passed away seven years ago gone."

"Dead?" Ji Xiaocai turned her head in shock, "How did you die?"

Gu Tailai shook his head: "People are bound to die. The shaman in the village learned about Doroji's death. It is said that he died of illness. Now many years later, the shaman god entrusted the shaman to marry her by name. Jie, I think I really fell in love with that woman."

Ji Xiaocai couldn't help but said, "But Mijie doesn't want to marry that great witch god at all! Daoist, we..." Ji Xiaocai's words stopped here, and Gu Tailai suddenly leaned on him, hugged his waist, and exhaled Just spray it behind his ear.For some unknown reason, this intimate action did not make Ji Xiaocai feel shy, but rather uneasy.

"Master, what's wrong with you...?"

"Xiao Cai," Gu Tailai said in his ear, "don't meddle in so many nosy things." He sniffed Ji Xiaocai's breath, "don't meddle so much nosy things, not every time I can protect you!"

Ji Xiaocai's voice dropped instantly, like a child who has done something wrong, she said in a low voice, "Yes... I'm sorry, Daoist, I'm too useless and only cause trouble."

"It's not like this." Gu Tai said, "I just don't want you to get hurt again, not at all." As he said, he gently ran his fingers along Ji Xiaocai's scabbed wound, and now there is a scar on the originally fair and clean skin. The flesh-red scars reminded Gu Tailai that Ji Xiaocai had suffered multiple injuries in the ancient city, and those wounds were even caused by Gu Tailai himself... Gu Tailai lowered his head, stuck out his tongue and gently licked those wounds. Wounds, like wounded beasts do, warm each other, lick each other, as if this action will flatten the pain and fade away the scar.

"Taoist..." Ji Xiaocai's voice was trembling, Gu Tailai's tongue licked down his bare back, the hot feeling passed over the wounds that were now slightly painful and itchy, and the tactile sensation was vivid .It didn't take long for him to feel something hard against his lower back, "Taoist..." Ji Xiaocai moaned weakly, feeling Gu Tailai's hands and tongue swimming on her body.

"Xiao Cai..." Gu Tai said, "I had nothing in the past, nothing to be afraid of, now you are mine, but I am afraid that one day you will be gone, Xiao Cai, you will be with me forever, right? ?”

"Daoist, I will." Ji Xiaocai reached out and hugged Gu Tailai, "I will always follow you!"

There was a sudden noise outside, and Ji Xiaocai was so frightened that she quickly blew out the candle in the bathroom, holding her breath and concentrating.Soon there was a sound of footsteps, Zhou Zhaoji's voice shouted: "Brother Ji, wait for me, don't be angry!" Ji Lanye shouted angrily: "Get out!" followed by the voice of slamming the door, Zhou Zhaoji Knocked on the door and said, "Okay, okay, clear your mind and go to bed early."

After the sound of footsteps disappeared, Ji Xiaocai dared to let out a sigh of relief. Just as she lit the candle, she suddenly thought of something: "Daoist, are you... to inquire about divine marriage for me?".

Gu Tailai felt a little uncomfortable, climbed out of the bathtub, turned his back as if he was arranging his clothes, coughed twice after a while, and said in a slightly hoarse voice: "Anyway, I'm free and fine." It's late, hurry up and dry yourself, and be careful not to catch a cold." He turned his head away, "I won't look, you can do it yourself."

Ji Xiaocai gave a "hmm" and got up quickly, feeling sweet in her heart, and said, "Master Dao, I really like you!"

Gu Tailai couldn't stop the smile in his eyes, and said, "Yeah!"
