The Legend of Manhua

"Will you drink?" Ziying waved his hand, causing the water mirror to turn into a puddle of clear water and fall into the crevice of the stone below, then he walked to the stone bench in the middle of the room and sat down.

At this moment, they are in a cave that can accommodate hundreds of people. Rattan is sparsely hanging from the entrance of the cave, there are two small round windows and several small holes, through which the light is projected, and the daylight is enough to dispel the darkness. The cave was brightly lit.The decoration inside is simple, and the flowers seem to be scattered randomly, but they are in different shapes and styles, and the vines are all over the stone walls and dotted among them.In the middle is a three-meter-long and one-meter-wide large stone table, which is filled with all kinds of food, mostly fruits and vegetables, and a dazzling array of things to see; a few stone benches are placed randomly, which are rarely ignored, because the ground is full of short and long The dense green grass allows you to sit and lie down at will, and the stone bench is also entwined with ivy, which is used as a climbing tool; on the stone steps in the cave, there is a two-meter-long and one-meter-wide bed, which is smooth and flat.

This is the scene when they lived together in the cave not long after they met. At that time, there was a little cat demon and a snake spirit with complicated patterns, both of which were picked up by them. Doing odd jobs in the house, but it also makes them happy.

"The outside is full of flowers, and I still live in this cave." Man Hua walked over and sat facing each other. At this moment, a little ghost came in with wine and a wine glass. Man Hua raised his head and asked, "Your Ziying, are you very happy?" Is it difficult to serve you?"

The kid was dumbfounded by the question, put down the wine glass while trembling, glanced carefully at Master Zi Ying who was smiling calmly, and managed to utter a few words: "No, it's not difficult, sir, very, very good."

Ziying laughed heartily, "Look, you're scared, go down."

Because she was too nervous and was too surprised to see Master Ziying so happy, she forgot how to walk normally for a while, and moved out step by step with stiff limbs.

"Even if I were the Emperor of Heaven, I wouldn't worry about how the officials and ministers would persuade me. I just want to live in this kind of cave."

Man Hua replied while pouring the wine: "Come on, you will never have such worries."

"I don't count on you. When I agreed to go to a place, I would be the one with the highest position. Now I am the ghost king. You have been in Tiangong for so long and you haven't seen a thing. Could it be that you are addicted to being a little fairy official?" Zi Ying Picking up the wine and taking a sip, he suddenly felt refreshed, "The wine from Tiangong is good, next time I will celebrate my birthday with a drink."

"I have other pursuits now."

"You always say that, you were delayed by the Qinglan sage before, but now you're replaced by Lian?" Zi Ying deeply disagreed.

"I'm different from Qinglan. Do you know the kind of relatives that mortals talk about?"

"Is that the same as my relationship with you?"

Man Hua thought for a while, "It's still very different... Forget it, I don't know why, anyway, Lian Shang loves me so much, the three generations have more or less died because of me. I've had enough of life and death. I feel like we can be together forever." Manhua stroked the edge of the wine glass with his fingers, and the rough texture made him feel soft to the touch.

"Forever is hard to say, let alone he promised?"

"No, what he expressed should be that he thinks that I don't like him, and he also blames me for not being careful enough. I have forgotten many things with him, so I have to go back to Jinminglou to recall the memories."

"Is it necessary? You can just treat him well from now on. The past is over, so what can be changed?" Zi Ying didn't think so.

"Really?" Man Hua was dubious.

"Of course. And if you're free, why don't you recall the days we were together? I'm surprised, why can't we be forever?" Ziying was quite dissatisfied.

"Then I will reminisce." Manhua pretended to say a lot: "I stole my arm and drank the blood, and it still hurts to think about it; I think about the things that are not enough to succeed but fail, let me think about that, the black bear spirit or the thousand-year-old tree demon or the charming little fox demon..." Ziying smiled and said: "Oh, speaking of the fox demon, you can't tell me. There is a funny thing, let me tell you about it... Not long ago, I went to the demon world to play, and I happened to meet the demon master to welcome the bride, and the one who came to snatch the marriage was a male fox demon. The interesting thing is the demon master, don't worry, Keep telling that fox demon to go back, you said that he dared to rob your majestic demon master for his wife, would a word work? The fox demon was seriously injured. In my heart, I really couldn’t see how bullying the few with more, and I felt sorry for an infatuated man who fought so bravely even if he fell in love with the wrong one. So I rescued him and asked his name, if it wasn’t for the later He was hunted down by the whole demon clan for no reason, and I still want to take him back to the ghost town." Zi Ying drank a glass of wine in one gulp, and then sighed: "He is as smooth as fat, pink as greasy, fragrant and charming, really rare in heaven and earth. , I just don’t know if this vixen’s art is the same as our ghost’s art, but it’s just an illusion.”

"Get used to it, and the fake will come true. For example, at this moment, I really think you look like this."

"I am like this from the beginning. I am a flesh and blood body obtained through a little practice... Just like your right arm, do you think it is true or not!"

"It's fake." Manhua replied very simply.

"It took a lot of effort to repair it. Even if you think yours is fake, but mine is real." Zi Ying almost jumped.

"Okay. If you are so free, go to the Demon Realm tomorrow and help me pick some gems."

"I won't go. Their Moon White Monarch is sick. Every time he sees me, he will chase after me and beat me fiercely, as if I robbed his wife."

"Then did you grab it?"

"If I want to rob him, I have to have it. Anyway, it's a good thing. Every time he comes to the ghost town, I will set up a net to make him suffer, hehe." Speaking of this, Ziying remembered that he was locked in the underground palace of the ghost town recently. , All kinds of guys greeted inside, let out a big breath, and thought about it, I feel happy.

Manhua shook his head.

The two had been drinking and chatting for an unknown amount of time, when suddenly a ghost waiter came to invite them to the banquet with a token made of black iron.

As the ghost attendant got into the carriage, the carriage moved very slowly and went straight down. At the place where I thought it was going to turn, a round door suddenly appeared, and I didn't know where to go. , dark mountains and whistling wind.After going through four round gates like this, they just entered a garden-like place, at this time the carriage stopped abruptly, the ghost waiter waited quietly, Man Hua and Ziying got off the carriage, facing a gate that slowly opened.

They walked in, and after entering, another ghost waiter guided them to their seats. At this time, there were four lamps in the four corners. The room was not too big, so the light was not too dark. There is a stone table and two stone benches, and there are several scenes on the wall, which seem to come from all walks of life.

Man Hua and Zi Ying chose the same side to sit down, and after a while, a white-haired old man with a stone staff came up staggeringly, with a young ghost attendant beside him.

Although the old man's hair and beard are all white and his body is weak, his eyes are like a thousand-faced mirror. Under the gaze of these eyes, there is a sense of panic that has nowhere to hide.

"I'm old, I really can't move, please trouble Master Man Huasan and Master Ziying to go there personally."

The old man sat down opposite them, and the ghost waiter took the stone stick for him and put it away, waiting beside him. At this time, another ghost maid came up to serve tea, and then left lightly.

"I don't have any good tea or water for you, please forgive me." Although the old man spoke slowly, he was still powerful.

"Senior Yue Zhi, you are being polite. If it weren't for the fact that seniors always like to be clean, this junior should have come to visit me. It's really impolite, please Haihan." Ziying responded with a calm smile.

"It's been a long time since I saw such a smile. It's so difficult to have a real smile after becoming a ghost." Senior Yuezhi raised his hand slightly, and the ghost attendant next to him naturally brought tea and handed it to him.

"It's a matter of time to practice hard." Ziying also took a sip of tea.

"Yeah, time is really amazing. When I saw Lingya before, she was not yet born, and she could transform into a normal human form in a blink of an eye. Although her mother's blood is not so noble, she is gentle and kind, soft and elegant, and her father is also Everyone is dignified and upright. She is the No.13 child, but it is not easy for the Fengling clan to give birth, and there are very few who can survive. Her five older brothers, six older sisters and two younger sisters all passed away one after another. , there is only one older sister and one younger brother left. The Emperor of Heaven once set up an organization "Tingyuesi" in the Fengling Clan to quickly improve their cultivation level. , Many of those who go to the mortal world to experience calamity, either reincarnated and became mortals, or went astray and violated the rules of heaven and were punished. The Emperor of Heaven originally abolished the 'Tingyue Division', but those who knew the way of reincarnation still kept it openly and secretly It is probably only because there was someone who was reborn from the nirvana and reborn from it. Lingya wanted to fly higher and cultivate to perfection. Xianjun, what a terrible and irresistible thing, Lord Manhuasan, do you think so?"

"Irresistible is true."

"For those who can only see far away, but can't restrain their desires, it's an understatement to say it's scary. It's enough to give everything you have, and I'm afraid you have to lose everything around you."

"She didn't have the ability to do these things. Why did Senior Rizhi give her the method of raising corpse Gu worms, which pushed her into the abyss."

"Raising corpse Gu worms is a long and endless road. Except for Yinli, almost no one has succeeded. I thought she could not succeed, and the method I taught her was wrong. That is, three drops of blood during the day and three drops of blood at night. One inch of meat, I turned it upside down and told her, not only to prevent her from growing it, but also to save her life. The process of raising it is very painful, as if being eaten away from one's own body bit by bit, it is not only physical torture, but also There is mental devastation. If she can't bear to give up halfway and return to the Fengling Clan, if she perseveres, but after so much effort, she still fails, she must have tried her best and have no regrets. She is exhausted both physically and mentally. Feeling disheartened, it will be easy to persuade her to return to the Fengling Clan."

"If it's the wrong way, how could it be..." Ziying was puzzled.

"I'm also perplexed—"

"Perhaps Yinli deliberately reversed the method and passed it on to the outside world, and senior Japanese ruled by mistake to tell her the correct method."
