Night Tales

In the early summer, the lotus leaves in the pond grow wildly, and the heads are buried in pieces.A few moon lotuses are scattered among them, and the dark fragrance floats.

Fan Yi put down his pen, lifted up the newly painted ink lotus, looked at it, and said: "This lotus leaf grows too tall, and I feel very depressed."

The child echoed from the side: "It's not good."

"What's wrong?"

Tan Xue also raised the painting in her hand: "It's not delicious."

"..." Sure enough, you can't be serious when talking to children.She leaned over to take a look at the little guy's painting. Although it was not delicious, it also vaguely looked like a lotus flower.

"This room is really suitable for sitting here and drawing a few strokes. Well, since that's the case, I want to give it a name. This place is called Shenbi Peak, and the name must be related to the brush, so why not call it "Xiyi" "Okay."

The child heard it, clapped his hands and laughed, "Okay!"

"I said, your lotus grows too fast, all of them look like sky monkeys." Chen Zhu came from the depths of the lotus forest, holding the lotus leaf over the head, and came up to the shore, blowing the snow. Happily standing up for a hug.Chen Xi sat on the small stool she had sat on, held her in his arms, and said with a smile: "Little thing is getting better and better, but it's still so thin."

With a pen in his hand, Tanxue tapped her face twice, "giggling" with a smile.

"Go, brat, you're getting more and more annoying. Tell your father to beat you later."

"Grandma won't let Daddy beat me."

"This kid is really smart." Fan Yi said.

"Speaking of her father, Cicada asked me to ask you if the child has recovered from his illness. It has been more than half a year."

Fan Yi was silent for a moment, then said, "Ask her."

Chen Zhu turned his face to Tan Xue.Tan Xue quickly shook her head: "It's not good, my stomach hurts."

"It won't hurt after two hits."

"Sister, won't you go together?"

"My sister is not leaving."

"Why didn't my sister leave?"

"My sister wants to make candy here, and all the candy in the world is made by my sister. If she leaves with you, you won't have any candy to eat, you know?" Chen Xi said.

"Then can I stop eating sugar?"

"No, if you don't eat candy, other people's babies will eat it. Other people's babies will be sad if they can't eat candy."

"Oh, let daddy and mother stay and make Tangtang together."

"Father and mother want to go home to farm. If they don't farm, we will have no food to eat and will starve to death."

Seeing that she couldn't talk to her, Tanxue didn't know what to do, so she opened her mouth and cried "Wow".

"Oh my god! I'm going to collapse!" Chen Xi said furiously, "If my mother has another child in this life, I'll jump off a tree and hit her to death!"

"It seems that the elder sister's anger is already deep."

"The old men in Yuque blamed me for teaching Yu'er to be a woman, and the elder brother blamed Cicada for being cowardly and rebellious. I have never been a father or a mother, how do I know how to teach children? If I have the ability to raise myself! Nothing is wrong , I’m really mad at me.” Chen Xi grumbled, and the child in his arms suddenly stopped crying, and gleefully said, “I’m mad at me!”

Chen Yu was even more angry, threw her into Fan Yi's arms, and said, "Fuck you!"

Tanxue fell into Fan Yi's arms with an "ahhh" sound, and said, "I fell to death."

"This stinky pig just needs to be cleaned up."

Fan Yi lovingly touched the little guy's head, and asked: "After Tan Xue returns, who will take care of her safety?"

"Ah Nian, it's that...that..." Chen Yu suddenly realized that she couldn't continue speaking, it was too embarrassing.

"I know." Fan Yi said.

"Actually, that girl looked like a young girl when we first met. She has matured a lot in the past few years and can tell right from wrong. She still holds a Qianjun sword. I'm afraid of her."

"This child is doomed to many disasters, and no one can watch him if he wants to. He is also, even if he is handed over to me, he may not be well protected. In fact, I have no right to criticize or blame others. Like The children of Shenbi Peak may not be better than the eldest sister if they are brought up by others."

"Hey, I've learned how to flatter. Don't need to comfort me. How can the majestic Master of the Magic Brush Peak be pissed off by those gossips? As for me, I'm not very skilled and my skills are limited. When I was young, I had some aptitude, so I used it to study some fancy things For example, the eye of the stars, what's the use of practicing it? Even if you can see all the stars in the world, you can't see people's hearts; and what's the use of this disguise technique? It's just more convenient for sleeping with women. I did two things, one was to watch you grow up, the other was to rebuild Yuque. Oh, and the other was to destroy the Xi Family."

"Speaking of your family, since the Xi family is so rich, it must be a big family. Why are you the only one left in the end?"

"Because the Xi family has a soul-devouring sword. This sword not only made the Xi family successful, but also destroyed the Xi family. Because of it, no one with talent can cultivate to become an emperor; because of it, the blood of the Xi family becomes stronger. , domineering, unable to accept other bloodlines. The clansmen marry outsiders, and the children born will have a fusion period. The bloodlines belonging to the Xi family will swallow the bloodlines of other races, so many children will not survive this fusion period. The mother does not want to see the death of the youngest son , so the Xi family began to have a trend of violence. This family became more and more depraved, and the internal fighting became more and more fierce. They hated each other and persecuted each other. They all died. Only I was rescued by Master and brought back Here. Huh? There is a child here, why am I talking about this.”

At this time, Tanxue was staring at Chenzhu with her aggrieved and innocent eyes, as if her little head could understand everything.Chen Xi said: "The more I look at this child, the more I want to hit her."

Tan Xue stuck out her tongue at her.

"By the way, Yu'er recently said that she was busy, and she didn't have time to get the medicine. Elder sister will take it there for her when she is free." Fan Yi said, holding Tanxue's shoulder and said: "Go and help my sister get the bag of medicine in the kitchen." bring here."

"Okay." Tan Xue smiled sweetly, jumped off her body, and ran to the shed on the side of the hut. After a few words, she ran back and handed the medicine bag to her. Chen Zhi, jumped back to sit on Fan Yi's lap.

Chen Yu took the medicine bag and smelled it, and asked, "What are the ingredients in this medicine?"

"Sycamore leaves, crimson heart grass."

"Gone?"

"Gone."

Chen Yu pondered: "Then how did Yu'er get her stomach trouble?"

"Crimson Heart Grass nourishes the heart and hurts the stomach, that's how it came about."

"Didn't you find a way to reconcile her stomach trouble?"

"The five viscera and the six viscera belong to each other, and they generate and restrain each other. Even if the stomach is cured, it will inevitably hurt other abdominal organs, so why bother?"

"It turns out that your healing is all based on instinct?"

"It's called talent."

"You quack!"

"There's nothing wrong with that, it's just that you can't eat meat."

"Tanxue is also taking this medicine?"

"It's convenient to eat. It will be fine after a month or two, and the stomach problem is not serious. Besides, isn't it mentioned in the comprehensive training of Shenbi Peak that you can't eat animals?"

"Oh, your stomach hurts." Chen Yu stood up and disappeared suddenly.When she came back, she had a few more books in her hand.She put the book on the table in front of Fan Yi, and said: "After reading it, prepare the medicine."

Fan Yi lowered his eyes and saw that the words "A hundred herbs cannot be argued" were impressively written on the top book.

Tan Xue grabbed a book and opened it, shouting happily: "Wow, draw."

"I see that my eldest sister has been thin all year round and her face is dark. She must have suffered from alcohol poisoning. Why don't I give you a prescription?"

"No need, make it for yourself." Chen Yu took the book away from Tan Xue's hand, picked her up from Fan Yi's arms, and said, "Let's go, take you to see your mother."

"Let's go home." Dixue said.

"Yo, how did you figure it out?"

"Go home, mother will be sad if she doesn't see Dixue."

"Okay, go home, come home. You're a treasure, little one."

Since Dixue passed the critical period, everyone's hearts are relieved.Luo Ying went back early because she missed her child.Soon, the cicada also left, leaving only Luo Fei and Xiao Fannian still living in Shenbi Peak.Xiao Fannian didn't know what kind of illness he had by accident, and suddenly fell in love with books.Shenbi Peak has a rich collection of books, and she doesn't feel bored.Chen Xi is also generous, she doesn't hide any books, as long as she is willing to read them.Before leaving, I also gave her a few books.

From the beginning to the end, Fanyi never appeared.How can she say that she is also her enemy, and she just let herself go?Xiao Fannian couldn't figure it out.

Years later, when she saw the legendary "demon" again, she seemed to understand a little bit more.This is a later story, so I won't show it for the time being.

It is said that after Tan Xue came home, she always pestered the adults to ask when she would go to see her eldest sister again.Cicada had a estrangement from Fanyi at first, and when she saw her daughter thinking about it, she got angry, and one day she finally couldn't bear it anymore, and yelled at her: "Shut up, don't mention that woman again."

Tan Xue was suddenly frightened by him, and stayed there in a daze, looking straight at him, neither crying nor fussing, not even a single tear, but her expression was extremely aggrieved.The cicada said annoyed again: "What are you looking at, disappear from my eyes."

Tan Xue turned around and left silently.From then on, she never mentioned that sister again, but in her heart, everything about that sister was buried deeper and deeper.She often looks at the east in a daze. Everyone thinks that she likes to watch the sunset, but she only wants to see that white dress.

Luo Fei began to express panic at her daughter's deepness.For such an older child, his eyes are full of worries, he no longer likes to play, and he doesn't like to joke.Eat when you are given, and wear when you are given clothes.The young figure was indescribably lonely.Is this what a child should be like?

Luo Fei began to lose her temper with Cicada: "What are you yelling at her for?"

Cicada was also wronged, he never thought it would be like this.It's not like I haven't yelled before, why did I have such a big reaction this time.The two quarreled all day, no matter how much Ren Luo's mother tried to persuade them, there was no sign of letting go.

Tan Xue suddenly realized that this was not good, so she buried that person a little deeper, still enjoying herself at the knees of her elders like a good baby.The only thing that messed around in front of Cicada was that she would cry whenever Cicada was a little aggressive towards her, and Luo Ying would run over and beat him whenever she cried.Sometimes Tanxue wanted to punish him, and would cry when she saw him, and Luo Ying rushed over and punched and kicked him.Taking advantage of it, Tan Xue made a face at her father.Cicada hated and was afraid of this daughter, and no one believed her when she told others.Even if you believe it, you will say that the cicada did it by yourself.Even before the moment of wishing, he had to come and slap the cicada twice.The cicada is even more miserable.

In the blink of an eye, another three years have passed, and Luo Village has been peaceful, and everyone's vigilance has gradually eased.Little do they know that the more peaceful the life, the greater the disaster that is brewing.Their actions are all seen in the eyes of caring people.

At the beginning, only the prefect of Yanzhou sent the villagers here to keep an eye on them. Unexpectedly, this piece of fat was reported to Huaiyuan General Zhang Wenyuan. Zhang Wenyuan immediately sent people to squeeze out the villager, and led the army to occupy Luoyang village.The prefect of Yanzhou held a grudge, and filed a complaint in Tiangong.

The daughter of Luoyang colluded with the demons and conceived a son.Tiangong suddenly divided into two factions.One faction believes that colluding with the demon clan is a felony, and should implicate the nine clans. Since Luoyang is already a god, there is no way to teach daughters, so they should be punished severely;Moreover, Luoyang has not seen his family members for more than ten years, so the disaster of his children should have nothing to do with him.

The two sides argued endlessly.In the end, the Celestial Realm sent Luoyang to the Mortal Realm to clean up the sect, and there must be no selfishness.

On this day, when the sun was rising, Luo Ying went out, she had nothing to do, she sat on the grass and weaved straw knots, Lu Chengxi had nothing to do recently, so she stayed here with her.

Lu Chengxi had never played with these things before, and was full of interest in the work she was doing, sitting on the side watching with a smile on her face.

Luo Ying ignored him, sighed secretly, and the expression on her face suddenly became sad.

Lu Chengxi saw her movements and expressions in his eyes, and he was confused.

He was sitting not far from her, playing with a wild flower in his hand.For a moment, a smirk appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he swung Xiang Hua towards her head, which happened to be inserted into her hair. Luo Ying glanced at him and said, "You are all boring."

Lu Chengxi smiled and said, "Cow dung in flowers." Hearing this, Luo Ying took off his shoes and threw them in his face. Lu Chengxi caught the shoes and returned them to her with a playful smile.

At this time, Tanxue was carried out by her father to relieve herself, and happened to see this scene.Following Luo Ying's example, Tanxue took off the shoes and threw them into Cicada's arms. She thought that her father would also run over and put on the shoes for her with a playful smile, but Cicada took the shoes, raised her and shouted: "You little bastard! You don’t want her paw anymore, do you?” Before hitting her, Tanxue was already crying, and Luo Ying shouted: “What are you doing? You dare to move her and try!”

Cicada was aggrieved: "Can you flirt a little farther away, because it will be a problem if children see it."

"Who is flirting with him!" Luo Ying retorted: "Did you wake up from the spring dream in the morning?"

"I still need to have sex dreams? I think you need to do it even more, Sister Ying."

Luo Ying picked up the shoes that were not on her feet and was about to throw them at them. After thinking for a while that he would definitely not return them, she lowered her raised hand again.

Lu Chengxi said: "Hey, I'm talking about business. Today is the Qiqiao Festival, and lanterns will be put on at night. Shall we go to the town to have fun. The last time we went was during the Chinese New Year."

Tanxue clapped her hands happily: "Okay, okay, let's put on the lamp, and Daddy will put on the lamp."

"I think it's okay, it's rare to have some fun." Luo Ying said.

"You guys go, Fei'er is sick, and I have to take care of her."

"What's wrong, what's wrong with her?"

"What's the disease, just dysmenorrhea, it's earlier this month."

"Ah, that's such a pity." Lu Chengxi said, "In this case, we're the only ones going. I'll wake Anian and Huan'er up."

After several people discussed, Luo Mu and the cicadas stayed at home, and the rest had breakfast and drove to the town in a carriage.

The two little ghosts walked without a break, cheering endlessly at the scenery outside the car.Lu Chengxi put a sachet on Dixue's body to cover the fragrance on her body.The speed of the carriage was not fast, and it was already past noon when we reached the town.

Today is the festival, and there are more people in the town.As soon as the carriage stopped, the two sleepy children suddenly woke up, jumped out of the carriage holding hands and ran outside.

"Come back, two little things." Luo Ying roared from behind.

"Aunt Ying, I want candy."

"Mom, I want to eat candied haws."

"Go and eat first."

The two little things looked at each other with pursed mouths, and reluctantly followed them.

Everyone came to the restaurant they frequented, and went to the private seat on the second floor with ease, opened the window, and a long river meandered by.

"Old rules, fry more vegetarian dishes, put animal oil in the vegetarian dishes, serve two dishes of desserts for the little things first, and then send someone to the street to buy two candied haws."

"Three times." Dixue said.

"Children can't eat sweets, they will cause toothache."

"Aunt Nian also likes to eat this. Every time she takes me out to play, she buys two."

"You still often run out to play?"

"It was given to her as a reward when she made great progress." Xiao Fan read.

"Oh, it turns out that Ah Nian still has this hobby."

"Aunt Nian said that no one played with her when she was a child, and she never played with these children's things, so she likes them very much." Before Dixue finished speaking, Xiao Fannian had already covered her hands.

Several people were chatting, when the boss came upstairs and said, "Master Lu, a brother is looking for you."

"Bring it in."

"Wait a moment." After the boss went down, a small man in black came up, hugged Lu Chengxi and said, "Master."

"Is there any news recently?"

"There is big news. I heard that Emperor Ye is back. Now the whole night realm is building the Temple of Emperor Ye. This time Emperor Ye fled to Honghuang and gave birth to two sons. It is said that Ye Palace is planning to start a war against Tiangong."

"Go to war? This doesn't look like Yedi's style. Now that Yedi has given birth, is there any news about her descendants?"

"Emperor Ye gave birth to two sons, one is the Lord Sichen and the other is the Lord Siyue. It is said that the battle of the Yegong Tiangong was planned by the Lord Sichen."

"anything else?"

"Gone."

"What about those industries?"

"Soul Devourer's property in Yuque has already started to make a profit. This year, the profit from crops is 30; the transfer of land is 27; the profit from renting land is 35; half of the shops are still not rented out; You will need to go back to the Night Realm to see some of the next things. In addition, Palace Master Fuyu plans to rebuild the Guantian Terrace. I am afraid that there will be days when money will be used in the future."

"Well, let her do whatever she wants. In addition, if Yedi finds her, let me know as soon as possible."

"Yes."

"Okay, let's go."

"Retire, little one."

After the man in black left, Xiao Er brought the snacks, and the two children washed their hands in the basin, then sat together and grabbed them.

"What do you think Yedi asked Fuyu for?" Luo Ying asked.

"Do you know that there is a place called the Land of the Extremes of Heaven?" Lu Chengxi asked.Luo Ying shook her head.Lu Chengxi asked again: "Does Anian know?"

"Is that the place where there is no day and no night? I heard that an ancient Phoenix King was sealed there."

"Why would Ah Nian know this? Aren't you with us every day?" Luo Ying asked.

"When your cultivation reaches a certain level, you will naturally have your own way to understand the world."

"It is said that King Feng is Yedi's lover." Lu Chengxi said again.

"Huh? Do these gods also like things like love affairs, marriage and having children?"

"What do you think? Who doesn't have emotions and desires? Those gods are born powerful, and they don't need any hard work to get the Tao. They are bored every day and can do everything."

"Then what happened to them? Why was King Feng sealed? Why didn't Ye Di save her when he was so powerful?"

At this time, the two little guys stopped eating after hearing the story, and listened to what they had to say with wide eyes.

"Don't listen to what adults say, children, eat your food, do you understand?" Luo Ying shouted at them.

"Understandable!" Luo Qinghuan said.

"Understand what?"

"Ye Di is very powerful, but only at night. That Phoenix King is locked up in the daytime, and Ye Di can't rescue him." Tan Xue said.

"Smart kid, you've said everything I haven't said yet." Lu Chengxi boasted.Luo Ying glared at Tan Xue.The question she asked was actually answered by a child, so her brain is not as smart as that of a child.

Insult, what an insult!

"If we want to talk about this matter, we have to talk about the time when the world first opened." Lu Chengxi tapped the bowl with his chopsticks.

"At that time, Heavenly Father and Earthly Mother had just completed the task of creating the world. They also gave birth to two sons, one in charge of the day and the other in charge of the night. The Heavenly Father exhausted his strength, and his body was buried in the Tibetan Jade Mountain in the night, and his soul wandered out of the sky. In order to find the heavenly father, Mother Earth took Ye Di, who was still a child, to wander in space. In the end, the two separated, and Ye Di fell into a world of gods where there was only daylight, and met Feng Wang. Feng Wang had a twin sister. When it comes to gender, Shangshen actually has no gender. They can become whatever they like. If they don’t like the body of a god, it’s okay to turn into an animal.

"That younger sister wanted to be with Phoenix King Luan Lun. Feng Wang was originally a male god, but because he harassed his younger sister, he changed his gender into a goddess. Later, a war broke out in that world and almost all perished. Yedi escaped , and continued to wander the universe. Feng Wang and her sister also escaped.

"Feng Wang thought that Emperor Ye would return to this world, so he traveled thousands of miles here to find her, but Ye Di never came back, and it was her younger sister who came. Feng Wang landed in this world and was valued by the Emperor of Heaven. She was the queen, but Feng Wang refused and lived in seclusion on an overseas island. Later, her sister seduced the emperor of heaven, and the two teamed up to frame Feng Wang and seal him in the extreme place of heaven. I saved it, and now I am living a good life in the night realm. At the beginning, Yu'er gave her a few mu of land to plant, and after two years of planting, she made a fortune, so she gave up the land, and started a business with the forces of the mortal world, and the mortal world The things from the world are brought to the night realm to sell, making a lot of money. Yu'er is also considering taking her as the deputy palace lord of Yuque."

"Aren't the descendants of King Feng also the descendants of Emperor Ye?" Luo Ying asked again.

"Shangshen is different from us. Even without intercourse between a man and a woman, he can have children, but it takes too much energy. If two people have children together, the price to pay is much smaller. Sometimes they don't want to conceive offspring voluntarily." If there is energy in the body that is not in harmony with its own strength, it must be transformed into offspring through the method of breeding offspring, so it has to be born. Therefore, Ye Di escaped from the remote world and hid himself before he dared to give birth at ease."

Before he finished speaking, the shopkeeper came again and said, "My lord, there is another man in black looking for you."

"Let him come up." Lu Chengxi ordered.The person in charge went down, and sure enough, another man in black came up, his figure was thinner and taller than the previous one, and his skin was much darker.

"See master."

"Well, has there been any movement in Mortal Realm recently?"

"It's nothing serious. In the past few years, the mortal world has been resting and recuperating. It has been lightly taxed and encouraged to give birth, so it is still peaceful. The West collapsed, and the Emperor of Heaven sent the prince to fight against it. Unexpectedly, the Western Demon Realm has moved to the south and is stabilizing its power in the south. The prince fought Come, Greedy Hao sent him a few beauties, and the prince went back. In addition, it is not easy to hire workers from Wuwang Mountain. The imperial court is now tightly controlling the Lingmine, and catching mine thieves is a crime against the nine clans. Everyone was afraid of being accused, so they all quit their jobs."

"anything else?"

"Gone."

"Well, let's go down."

After the man left, the dishes were served one by one.Tan Xue has a bad stomach and can't eat too much meat. She doesn't like meat anyway, so she only eats vegetarian dishes.Luo Ying found that Tanxue was much thinner and thinner than her peers, and she was a full head shorter than Luo Qinghuan, so she said to Lu Chengxi: "We should also talk to Tanxue, seeing how weak she is. , What’s the problem if you don’t eat meat, there will definitely be problems in the long run.”

"What's the problem, don't look at her young, you won't be able to beat her in two years."

"I don't believe it." Luo Ying said to Tanxue: "Tanxue, you slap the window, and hit here."

Tan Xue put down her chopsticks, and sure enough, she waved her palm at the window, nothing happened.

"Use more strength." Luo Ying said.

"Don't, break someone's window." Xiao Fannian stopped him.

Luo Ying got up and went to Tanxue's side, took her hand and walked to the window, saying: "Slap your palm into the water, and strike hard."

"No, it will hit the fish." Tan Xue said.

"Split at that willow tree, do you see it?" Luo Ying pointed to a weeping willow about the thickness of a calf by the river twenty paces away.Tanxue let out a "huh", squeezed a tactic with her right hand, and slashed at the willow tree with all her strength, the wind knocked the tree apart.Tanxue was taken aback by her achievement, screamed and hid in Luo Ying's arms.There was a discussion outside the window.

"My little boy, you are really going to catch up with me." Luo Ying praised.Luo Qinghuan also ran to the window to have a look, and clapped her hands.

"You must never slap someone with your slap, you know that?"

"Yeah." Tan Xue nodded.At this time Xiao Er brought up the candied haws, and Tanxue took two bunches happily, and handed one to Xiao Fannian. Xiao Fannian refused to eat it, so Tan Xue put the candied haws to her mouth, and persuaded: " Aunt Nian, be good, I will feed you." One sentence made everyone in the room laugh, Xiao Fannian couldn't help but took one and put it in his mouth.
