The Legend of Manhua

A pair of rivers and lakes brothers are said to sell some tricks to earn some ration money.

"Hey, what kind of tricks, I didn't say it, you can't do it with ordinary things these days."

"That's right, I don't care about breaking boulders in the chest, swallowing silver guns, and sparking guns. The big guys are tired of watching it."

"That's right, if you want to come, come to stimulate, not to fool people."

There are more and more crowds watching, from women and children who come out to buy things, to hawkers carrying bamboo baskets and selling things, they all pass by. Big, frivolous and contemptuous tone one after another.

The pair of Jianghu brothers were wearing ordinary coarse linen clothes, the older one showed a sneer, and then swung a big knife in his hand, blood spattered three feet where the big knife passed, and the few people who had just started to make noise were more or less drenched all over their bodies , I saw another young brother's head fell to the ground, and his body collapsed.

The few people who were inciting loudly just now were dumbfounded, and secretly shouted in their hearts: I am so frightened that my legs are weak and I can't walk, while others shouted: "Help, I killed you, I killed you!" . ” ran away happily, and some slumped on the ground and crawled away.

Seeing that the audience was about to leave, the man with the big knife hurriedly said: "Hey, don't go, this is only halfway through the show." But seeing that the situation couldn't be stopped, he took out two yellow talismans from his pocket, bit them The broken fingers drew symbols all over the place, and then stuck them on the head and body of the decapitated brother. He muttered something he couldn't understand, and after a while, he shouted, "Come on!"

Then I saw the headless corpse moving, touching its own head skillfully connected to its own neck, and finally got up from the ground, twisting its body and moving its head, as if nothing happened.

"My God, I'm alive, I'm alive." People who were scared and stupid before couldn't walk all shouted at the same time, and then it spread farther and farther. Not only did the people who ran away come back, but they also brought many People who didn't know, and a team of officers and soldiers, but when the officers and soldiers arrived, even the blood disappeared without a trace, so how could there be any murders.

Everyone was amazed and wondered if it was an immortal, otherwise how could they bring the dead back to life.After taking the money, the Jianghu brothers quickly disappeared without a trace, without giving everyone a chance to ask...

"Where does a mortal know the art of bringing the dead back to life? see."

Yao Dan felt that his brain was not enough, but he felt that Mr. Ting Ye's storytelling was very lively and interesting, Feng Ting was also in a daze, Man Hua fell asleep on the table at some point, only Miao Ning was still sitting upright, looking ahead , unmoved.

"Many things are too much to impose one's imagination, and you will miss the truth of many things, which is probably the case."

Yao Dan opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say, Feng Ting shook his head, he didn't want to think about it anymore, he picked up the wine glass on the table... wine?liquor!

Feng Ting looked at Miaoning, if he was drunk, he wouldn't be able to hold a sword, right? !Feng Ting's eyes lit up, and he picked up the wine glass and was about to persuade Miaoning to drink, when Miaoning suddenly stood up and said, "Xianjun." Feng Ting managed to keep his hands steady and almost didn't let the wine spill all over him, and when he raised his eyes, he saw a streak of water blue The figure walked in slowly, and the naturally hanging and swinging sleeves seemed to hide layers of water waves on the surface of a dark blue lake hidden in a dark cave.

"Immortal Lian Shang, please sit down, and I will serve you immediately."

After Lian took her seat, Man Hua raised her head and looked sleepily, before going back to sleep.

"When will you go back to the Heavenly Palace?" Lian Shang asked in a low voice beside him, Man Hua seemed to remember that they were still in the ghost town, propped herself up from the table, yawned and asked, "Why did you go there for so long?"

"It's been a bit late...returning to the Heavenly Palace?"

"No, I still have something to do in the ghost town. Why don't you and Fengting go back first."

Lian Shang was silent for a moment, and said: "It happens that there are still a lot of vegetation here to be sorted and recorded, so we can stay for a while."

"I'm not going back either, you're all here, I'm going back alone, those who don't know think I coaxed me to go back." Feng Ting's attitude was firm.

"Great, I also want to stay in the ghost town." Yaodan continued excitedly.

"The room has been arranged, and you can rest at any time."

……

When Man Hua was sleeping soundly in the room, Lian Shang looked at the invisible night from the roof and remained motionless. Feng Ting sneaked into Yao Dan's room and insisted on sleeping with him. " banner.As a result, he didn't stay quiet for a while, and wanted to chat with Yaodan because he couldn't sleep.Chatting and chatting, Feng Ting wanted Yao Dan to transform into a dragon body for him to hug again on a whim.

Yao Dan was not happy, Feng Ting hugged Yao Dan and refused to let go, and turned into a big tiger pressing Yao Dan, licking and rubbing against him.

"All right, all right, I agree." Yao Dan reluctantly compromised, and after Feng Ting turned back into a human body, he did appear in the form of a dragon, but flew away from the window in a flash.

Fengting didn't have time to stay, so he had to give up, tossed and turned on the bed for a while, feeling that the cold stone bed was getting colder and harder, so he got up and went to look for Miaoning again.Man Hua himself would not dare to offend him, he scolded him like that before in front of the immortals, if Man Hua hadn't lost his magic power, he probably would have to shed several layers of skin, so when Man Hua said, "Don't spread this matter to the outside world, let the past be the past" At that time, he agreed without hesitation, how dare he ask the reason, and wait for a while.And as for how he dared to do it, anyway, it wasn't the first time, and it was his doing that he was cowardly and wanted to rush out.

Yao Dan flew for an unknown distance, and landed back to his human form when he felt that he was almost done.

This can be ranked in the fairy class, why can't I?Yao Dan muttered in his heart, while looking around, he still didn't know where he was.

It was dark all around, and I couldn't even see things around me clearly, and there was no light, not even moonlight.

Is there no moon tonight?Yao Dan felt strange in his heart, as if he saw moonlight when he came out just now.

Yaodan didn't take many steps, and he knocked on something several times, it was cold and hard, it should be stone or something.Yao Dan thought that Hua Longfei should go up to have a look, but he caught a glimpse of a red light from the corner of his eye, and looked carefully, only to find that there was a room with lights not far away. Although the red light was faint, it was enough to see the outside There is a corridor connecting them.

Yaodan thought about it carefully, he couldn't figure out the direction now, it might be worse to fly randomly.And those who can live in this kind of house should not be the kind of ghosts with blue faces and fangs, maybe they are working in the city that never sleeps.I'll go and have a look at the moment, if the other party hasn't fallen asleep yet, ask for directions, if they fall asleep, I'll leave on my own...

Thinking this way, Yao Dan had already come to the door lightly, the door was ajar, when Yao Dan raised his hand and was about to knock on the door, his hand froze in mid-air, his pupils dilated, and he opened his mouth slightly to say no Say a word.

He didn't intend to peek, but in his position, the inside part can be seen clearly through the crack of the door.

Sitting facing the door is a bony... man?This is only distinguished from the main torso, which is slender and strange.His right hand was taking a hand on the table and connecting it to the bone of his left arm. His head was hanging down weakly. After the hand was connected, there were still two white leg bones placed on the table. He touched two of them. The legs were connected with two "clicks" from the left and the right, but the leg bones were not connected to the foot bones, so I took two foot bones from the table and bent over to connect them, and in the last step, I raised my hands and raised my head, " "click", the process was so skillful, there was no flesh and blood, and he couldn't see any pain.

But when he straightened his head, those eyes seemed to see him, Yao Dan's heart trembled, his first reaction was to cover his mouth and turn around and run, no matter whether he was really discovered, he was really afraid that he would scream Calling out really alarmed the bone.

But it seemed that he didn't run very far, Yaodan kicked something again and fell to the ground, this time his face was broken.Yaodan got up, covered his face and continued to run, his mind was full of white skeletons dangling, and he couldn't even think of the fact that he could transform a dragon.

During the period, he fell three or four times, but Yaodan gritted his teeth and got up.

Getting up and running again, suddenly several lights around were lit, Yao Dan was startled with a "click" in his heart, and slammed into an embrace firmly.

"Ah, there are ghosts, ghosts..." Yaodan was so frightened that he took several steps back and sat down on the ground. Tears had already flowed down his face unconsciously, and he didn't dare to look up at the moment.

"Ghost? This is the most indispensable thing here."

The familiar voice made Yaodan stop trembling, and looked up, it was indeed Mr. Tingye.

"Mr. Tingye." Yao Dan excitedly jumped up and ran to Mr. Tingye's side to grab him, wept with joy, and spoke incoherently: "No, I, I thought, it was that, that...not you."

"Are you scared? You are crying so hard." Jun Ting Ye took out a handkerchief from his sleeve and wiped Yao Dan's cheeks.

"Yeah." Yao Dan was teary, the previous fear and the pain of falling down made him cry a little bit, although he also burst into tears before, but he was not aware of it like this moment, and he had some sustenance .

"It's like this here, if you're afraid, don't run around." Jun Ting Ye said while lowering his head to tidy Yao Dan's clothes, so meticulous that he even had to deal with the dust on his body.Just like himself, he has always been well-dressed, orderly, humble and polite.Maybe it was because of the heavy dew in the cold night, and the breath on his body was also two points colder, but it didn't matter.

"I'll take you back." After almost finishing, Ting Ye said kingly.

Yao Dan didn't speak, but saw Mr. Tingye turned and walked forward, so he pulled his sleeves and followed step by step.Yao Dan looked sideways at Mr. Tingye, his jade-like quiet and delicate face looked particularly cold under the moonlight, there seemed to be a whole star shining in his eyes, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and there seemed to be a smile, but the smile was not Ordinary, it is probably because Mr. Tingye has an expressionless face, not to mention a smile, it is all his own imagination.

"Huh—there is moonlight." Yaodan suddenly realized something, looked up in disbelief, and said in surprise.

"Moonlight is the origin of the yin energy of the moon, and it is the most basic food for ghosts."

"Eat moonlight...does Jun Tingye only eat this?" Yao Dan asked with his head tilted.

"It would be better if there were high-quality flesh and blood." Yao Dan couldn't tell whether he was joking or telling the truth when Ting Yejun said this. It was really hard for him to imagine that someone like Ting Yejun... would eat... , "The skin is just an appearance. If you meet someone you like, Master Ziying will eat it."

After listening to this explanation, Yaodan found it much easier to understand, and asked again: "Then do you want to eat me?"

Mr. Tingye paused, and looked back at Yaodan. His face was innocent, his eyes were round and black, he looked at him flickeringly, and his expression was so serious and expectant, so Mr. Tingye also answered him sincerely. : "Clean, pure, untainted by the world, no one wants to." After that, he continued to move forward.

Feeling that Mr. Tingye seemed to be praising himself, he was even happier. He jumped up and down to follow, and then asked: "Then do you like to eat me like I am now, or change back into a dragon?" Suddenly I thought of a question: "You haven't seen me as a dragon yet, let me show you." After that, he showed his original shape, wearing cyan dragon scales, a golden dragon crown on his head, light blue beard, red tail, and recovered dragon claws , can become smaller, so that he can hover over Mr. Tingye, rub against him a few times affectionately, and then regain his human form and stand on the ground.

"How about it, which one do you think is better?"

"Just as a ghost, the human form is more delicious, and the dragon body can help the practice to advance thousands of miles."

"Which one do you think is more attractive to you?"

"Naturally it is delicious. There is a saying in the world: food, sex, and nature; cultivation is a long way to go, and the methods are ever-changing, but only in front of delicious food is the most authentic self."

"You also know the mortal world very well." Yao Dan regretted it as soon as he said it. Obviously, he was also a human before, otherwise how could he become a ghost.But Mr. Ting Ye obviously didn't care much, so he asked him: "Why, you want me to eat you?"

Yaodan smiled awkwardly and waved his hands: "I'm just curious, ask... I can't make the decision."

"Why?"

"Body and skin, I received it from my parents. I only borrowed this body in my life. Although my mother passed away early, it will be returned to my father in the end."

"Your father told you?"

"No, I was taken to listen to the Buddhist scriptures when I was young. My body, hair and skin, were taken by my parents, and I dare not hurt them. This is the beginning of filial piety. My body, limbs, hair, and even my skin belong to the body of my father and queen mother. Part of it, dare not damage it, let alone dispose of it at will.”

After Yaodan finished speaking, Mr. Tingye didn't answer, his thoughts seemed to be floating outside, and Yaodan shivered a little because of the cold all over his body.

"Mr. Tingye, did I say something wrong?" Yao Dan rubbed his hands and asked in a low voice.

"No, you're quite right."

Although Mr. Tingye said so, Yaodan was still a little strange, but he couldn't ask now.

Yaodan suddenly took Jun Tingye's hand, because his fingers were very slender, so he had to wrap them with both hands, feeling Jun Tingye's questioning gaze, he smiled and said: "Your hands are so cold, I'll cover you up."

Mr. Ting Ye couldn't help rubbing his soft hair with the other hand, and said: "You forgot that I am a ghost, I have a cold body, there is nothing I can do about it."

"Then what's the matter, the snowflakes can still be covered first, and after turning into water, cover them for a while before they become hot."

Jun Tingye found this metaphor a little funny.

"But I won't do that, because the ice cubes are not ice cubes when they melt, and they can easily disappear into the air when they become water. So I'll cover you up, just enough."

Mr. Tingye stared at Yaodan, his face, which had hardly changed in expression, gradually became softer and clearer like the sun and warm winter.
