Green scales

Yuqin was slightly startled, and couldn't help turning his head slightly, with a hesitant expression on his face.Seeing this, Xia Xinglan asked concerned, "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing, I thought I forgot to feed Xiaobai before going out." Yu Qin regained consciousness, put the chopsticks back into the bowl, and shook her head.

"It won't be hungry, just buy some broken bones and go back later." Xia Xinglan replied with a smile. Xiaobai is a yellow dog. It was picked up in the first year when they moved to Yongshui City. It is very spiritual. .

Yuqin doesn't like to make noise, so the two of them moved to Yongshui City for three years, and the days he went to the city were few and far between, but every time he went to the city, he was looking for Xia Xinglan.

In the eyes of outsiders, Yuqin's dependence on Xia Xinglan was even to the point of being clingy, but Xia Xinglan was happy with it.The two lived in seclusion in Yongshui City for three years, and they would often get rid of little monsters for the city residents, so the people in the city were very warm to "Daoist Xia".

Because of Xia Xinglan's handsome appearance, there were many enthusiastic aunts who tried to propose marriage to him in the first few years, but he politely declined them one by one. They wanted to find a "male lady", but Yuqin rarely had contact with them. Over time, most of the city residents acquiesced in the existence of Xia Daochang's "male lady".

However... there are a few exceptions, such as the sudden and sudden death of Wang Shusheng today.

"Yuqin, don't worry about the rumors in the city these days." Xia Xinglan said to Yuqin who was opposite after eating the wontons. Yuqin casually picked up the noodles with chopsticks. With a smile, he said in a slow voice.

Xia Xinglan felt that Yuqin seemed to have something on his mind at the moment, but if Yuqin didn't say anything, he wouldn't ask.Once Xia Xinglan identified a person, he would trust him unconditionally. Otherwise, he would not have left the sect for Yuqin. Although he was obstructed by all means, Xia Xinglan insisted on leaving and brought Yuqin to live in Yongshui City.

In the eyes of his master and juniors, the elder brother of Jianzong, a genius of swordsmanship for hundreds of years, has made countless ghosts and monsters frightened by the news, but he ruined his future for the top card of a red man!

I really don't know whether to praise him for his infatuation or lament his obsession.

"What gossip?" Yuqin took the conversation, pushed her face forward, folded her arms and leaned forward, staring at Xia Xinglan steadily.

Before Xia Xinglan could answer, the two diners who were talking at the side started talking again.Yuqin turned her head to look at the past.

"But I don't think there are so many monsters in our city since the Taoist priest came! Not to mention that they can kill people." The diner waved his hand and denied.

Xia Xinglan didn't want to be nosy at first, but seeing that Yuqin seemed to be attracted by their conversation, she also listened subconsciously.

But the two diners didn't realize that at the moment they said that the most famous Taoist priest and his wife in the city were listening, and they were still talking loudly.

"Hey, I heard that Wang Shusheng seems to have a little feud with the Taoist priest." The other person winked and said, "A few days ago, Wang Shusheng was drunk and told Zhang Feng and the others..." After a pause, he lowered his voice The voice continued: "Say that the Taoist priest's wife is a monster!"

"Impossible, how could a Taoist hang out with monsters! The Taoist priest has eliminated monsters since he came to Yongshui City. Could it be that the person next to his pillow is also a monster?!" The person immediately shook his head in denial when he heard what he said. .

"How can Taoist priests and monsters be together? It's ridiculous!"

Yuqin narrowed his eyes slightly, his eyelids drooped, and the thick and slender eyelashes covered the chill in his eyes.Xia Xinglan's face froze when he heard the words, and he immediately turned to look at Yuqin. From his point of view, he saw Yuqin's expression was uneasy, and hurriedly said "Oops".

"Let's go back, otherwise Xiaobai is very hungry and should go to the gate again." Xia Xinglan stood up after speaking, took all the things and stretched out one free hand to Yuqin.

There was nothing wrong with Yuqin, and after paying the money, he got up and held Xia Xinglan's hand, and the two walked side by side to the outside of the city.

Yongshui City is surrounded by mountains on three sides, only the official road on the east side has more pedestrians. Yuqin and Xia Xinglan made up their minds to stay away from the hustle and bustle of the world since the first day they came here, so they chose the road leading to the city at the foot of the mountain on the west side There is only one narrow stone path, which is even more slippery after rain.

Xia Xinglan had already cleaned up the weeds beside the stone road. Later, he purposely set up fences on both sides to facilitate Yuqin's travel, and then widened the stone road a little. Today, this path can accommodate two people walking side by side. .

"The shopkeeper said that some new flower seeds will be added in a few days. This flower is called Yumian." Xia Xinglan took out the flower seeds and handed them to Yuqin, then wrapped her arms around his waist weakly.

Yuqin took the flower seed, looked at it over and over for a while, put it in his arms, and said with a smile: "I can't grow any of the ones you gave me."

Yuqin likes to play with flowers and plants. During the first few years when he moved here, he often picked some wild flowers next to the wooden house to decorate the cabin.

"I said before, whenever I go out in the future, I will bring you a flower seed." Xia Xinglan replied gently with a smile in his eyes.

Yuqin raised her eyes and bumped into the clear spring water in his eyes, her heart trembled slightly.Then she turned her head away and stopped talking, Xia Xinglan sharply saw Yuqin's earlobe revealing a rosy pink.

As soon as he got to the side of the house, Xiaobai rushed straight towards the two of them like an arrow flying off the string.Xia Xinglan subconsciously protected Yuqin, then kicked Xiaobai who was barking beside him, dumbfounded.

Xia Xinglan shook the bone, and Xiaobai happily spun around on the spot. After looking at it for a while, Yuqin went back to the house and put the umbrella and food box back to their original places, and took out the flower seeds in his arms, and looked at them with determination. After a while, with a soft breath, a burst of green scale powder instantly covered the flower seeds, and then disappeared.

Yuqin opened the wardrobe beside the bed, took out a black wooden box, and carefully put the flower seeds in it.

Yuqin caressed the wooden box on his lap, distracted for a moment, and slowly rubbed his fingertips along the edges and corners of the wooden box.

"Wangcheng..." Yuqin murmured. At that time, he was approaching the moulting period, and it happened that Xia Xinglan was going out to eliminate demons. He was the only one left in the whole hut, so he couldn't help feeling a little lazy.

As a monster, the original body is always more comfortable than the human form. Although Yuqin is a big monster, he is not immune to the vulgarity. The moulting period is very difficult, and this place is rarely visited by people, so he is a little lazy. Turning the lower body into a snake tail, and finding a place to put it on at will, can make him a lot more comfortable.

But that day, Wang Shusheng accidentally saw a small section of his tail, and Yuqin's eyes flashed a trace of annoyance.Just as he was wandering in the sky, suddenly a broad and strong arm embraced him, and Yuqin froze all over. After the familiar smell wrapped him up, he gradually relaxed, and fell back into Xia Xinglan's arms.

"What are you thinking about?" Xia Xinglan rested his chin on Yuqin's shoulder, and said softly.

"I'm thinking about that painting." Yuqin replied with a smile, then raised her hand and pushed the head off her arm, got up and walked aside, and stuffed an unfinished painting on the table into Xia Xinglan's arms.

Xia Xinglan stood up happily, put one arm around Yuqin's waist, quickly pecked at the corner of his lips, then turned around to re-lay the drawing paper, and began to grind it.

Yuqin walked to the table, leaned down, put one hand on the table, rested his chin on the other, and stared fixedly at Xia Xinglan.Xia Xinglan smiled, took a pen and sketched again on the drawing paper.

Xia Xinglan's drawing skills are not very good, but with only a few strokes on paper, he can still outline Yuqin's figure, which is quite resembling.

"Why don't you paint your face?" Yuqin asked suddenly.

"I have to draw slowly, I'm clumsy, but I have to paint you in my mind hundreds of thousands of times before I dare to write." Xia Xinglan put down the brush, leaned forward, and the two separated instantly. Very close, there is some emotion between breathing and interlacing.

"Look at you slowly, and remember the charm in every look you look at me." Xia Xinglan whispered, raising her hand to caress Shang Yuqin's smooth and fair cheek.

"Look carefully at every inch of the skin." Following Xia Xinglan's low voice, his fingers slowly moved down, caressing Yuqin's slender neck, and then slowly moved down again, with the fingertips hooking the light blue placket of the chest to reveal The jade-like skin is wrapped in it.

The end sound was full of affection, Yuqin trembled all over, panted and stretched out both hands to tightly hug Xia Xinglan's neck.Xia Xinglan pressed Yuqin on the table with his backhand, and pinched his neck lightly with one hand. Yuqin's breathing suddenly became rapid, and the most vulnerable Achilles heel was shackled, and the bloody nature of the monster race came out like a beast.

Taoists and demons are the most incompatible existences.

At the foot of the mountain, in the wooden house, in this small world, the two wantonly pour out their inner depression. At this moment, they ignore the world and morality, and what they have is only the most primitive impulse and passionate love.

The house is full of spring.

Xiaobai lay leisurely at the door, gnawing on the big bone between his legs, facing the faint green hills mixed with the faint singing of birds.

At this moment, the dark clouds came up, and the mountain wind blew through the treetops, making rustling sounds, wave after wave rippled in the mountains like ripples.The sky is like a little ink mark on the drawing paper. Tiangong swipes the ink and paints a smudged ink painting scroll.

Light rain pattered to the ground.The mountain breeze is slightly cool, but the house is as warm as spring.

Yongshui City, West Street, night.

The fine raindrops kept falling through the dim and bright yellow candlelight. It was already late and the streets were deserted. Candles were lit in every household, and the lights of thousands of families were reflected in the puddles on the ground.

The old man lifted the lid of the pot, and a burst of mist rose into the sky, which was crushed by the rain and dissipated into the air.

"Have a bowl of wontons." A hoarse voice sounded.The old man looked up and saw a tall, eight-foot tall man in a coir raincoat and a bamboo hat standing in front of the booth.Under the dim candlelight, the man's face was hard to discern.

"Okay." The old man readily agreed, and then quickly ordered the wontons.

The man in black walked into the tea shed, lightly placed the saber in his hand on the table, and then took off his bamboo hat, revealing a handsome face with a shaggy beard.

"Is the guest just here?" The old man asked with a smile.

The man in black raised his hand to touch the stubble on his chin, hummed, and replied, "I just entered the city, and it has been raining all afternoon, and I don't know when it will stop."

"Yes, it's been raining for nearly a day." The old man chuckled a few times, and quickly brought out a bowl of steaming wontons.

The man didn't know how long he hadn't eaten, so he sucked in big mouthfuls regardless of the burning of his mouth.After eating several wontons in a row, he sighed contentedly, and asked with stuffed cheeks:

"Shopkeeper, I'm asking you for someone."

"After all, the little old man has stayed in this city for decades, so you can tell anyone you want."

"Have you ever heard of a Taoist priest named Xia Xinglan?"

Yuqin suddenly woke up from the dream, sat up and couldn't stop panting, the window beside the bed was not closed, at this moment the night wind suddenly picked up, and the drizzle was blowing in continuously, the raindrops hit Yuqin's bare arms, and the slightest The coolness brought him back to his soul.

Yuqin closed the window, turned her head, and saw that Xia Xinglan was still sleeping, snoring lightly. Yuqin raised her hand and pulled the quilt up to cover Xia Xinglan's exposed strong chest.

Just now, he seemed to be in a nightmare, a big hand grabbed his snake body tightly, making him unable to break free.Yuqin raised his hand to wipe off the fine sweat on his forehead, and thought: Could something happen...

Just when Yuqin was restless, there was a slight "dongdong" sound outside the window.
