Lu Mingfei, who had read Dragon Clan before slaying the dragon

However, such a journey is not a torment at all for mixed breeds like Lu Mingfei and Eryi. Compared with ordinary people, mixed breeds are physically monsters. Suppose mixed breeds go to participate in a marathon or Sports games are definitely a dimension reduction attack, so there is an unwritten rule in mixed-race society. Mixed-races are prohibited from participating in all large-scale physical competitions organized by human society, and Lu Mingfei and Eri Yi are even more monsters among monsters. If Regardless of the time cost, the two of them would not feel tired walking all the way from Tokyo to Kanagawa Prefecture.

The sunlight passes through the lush green shade, forming a light path-like trajectory. This is the Tyndall effect. On both sides of the shrine, giant trees tower into the sky and wild birds sing.

It’s hard to imagine that in a bustling city where every inch of land is precious, there is such a green space with such a beautiful ecological environment. Even if you always walk in the forest of Meiji Shrine, you can’t really feel its vastness. Lu Mingfei and Eri I have been to high places in Tokyo such as the Sky Tree, Tokyo Tower and Shinjuku Metropolitan Government Building. When you look down at Meiji Jingu from above Tokyo, you can feel its magnificence and beauty. It is a huge, lush dark green.

And these trees have not existed since ancient times. The history of this green forest is roughly the same as that of Meiji Shrine, which is less than a hundred years old.

Its significance to science is even more important than its religious symbol. When this area was still a wasteland, naturalists and landscape scientists made bold claims. They hoped that at the latest One hundred and fifty years later, this area has become a pure natural forest that can thrive without manual maintenance. In order to achieve this goal, science and technology experts have determined the types of trees planted, the order of planting, and the introduction of trees. The species were carefully planned, and the required trees were donated from all over Japan. A total of an exaggerated 100,000 trees were collected. The tree planting project alone took six years.

Today, the scientists' rhetoric has been completed, even more than fifty years ago. Now the forest of Meiji Shrine is completely in a state of rest and does not require any manual maintenance. Last year, a scientific team from the United States After inspecting this urban forest, they were surprised to find that there are more than 3,000 species living in this forest, ranging from ants and frogs to civet cats, eagles and reindeer, including many endangered species. Rare species, the various animals, plants and bacteria living here have formed a fairly complete food chain and ecological system.

"...So even the fallen leaves here don't need to be cleaned manually, they just need to be piled in the middle of the road. In the forest of Mingyinji Shrine, many tree species are evergreen all year round, so there are trees here every day There are many fallen leaves. On the one hand, the workload is too heavy, and on the other hand, scientists hope that the fallen leaves here can return to the forest and reincarnate naturally. "Stepping on the road paved with orange fallen leaves, Lu Mingfei said about Huiliyi's science popularization. Knowledge about this shrine.

The fallen leaves and dead wood that were trampled under their feet made a crunching sound, and a gray raccoon ran past the eyes of Lu Mingfei and Eli Yi.

"Sakura knows a lot!" Eriyi said with starry eyes.

"It's okay, it's okay." Lu Mingfei scratched the back of his head and answered in a somewhat embarrassed manner, because Hui Liyi asked too many questions last time, thinking that he might come again in the future, so Lu Mingfei If I had not crammed up my knowledge about Meiji Shrine on the Internet, I would just be pretending to be a big-tailed wolf and learning and selling now.

But from this point of view, I really have foresight. Sure enough, opportunities are reserved for those who work hard and are prepared. Otherwise, how would I gain Eri's admiration now?

Sometimes when I'm single, I just think about it. Is it because I don't work hard enough? How come other people can talk about such a good-looking girlfriend, but you don't?

"There were too many people here last time, so you didn't notice Eriyi." Lu Mingfei spoke again, pointing to the wide road in front of him, "The shrine of Meiji Shrine is very wide, but most tourists only walk Both sides, you know why?”

"Because you have to walk on the crosswalk." Eriri replied seriously.

"..." Lu Mingfei was choked up. This guy Eli Yi has a bit of humor in him.

"Because in the Shinto culture, the shrine's approach is not only a path for people to worship. When the gods come to the shrine, they will also take this path." Lu Mingfei gave an explanation, "So in order to discord with the gods Fighting for the road, usually the worshipers will give up the road in the middle. "

"Do gods only walk in the middle? They are so overbearing." Eryi may have been infected with Lu Mingfei for a long time, and she actually learned to make small complaints.

"Uh...it doesn't mean that gods only go from the middle, because humans must give way to gods?" Lu Mingfei said by analogy, "Just like when we came here before, all the cars on the road were owned by the Sheqiba family. The car gave way, probably out of respect, but Eriyi, you don’t have to.”

"Why?" Eriki asked curiously.

"Because when encountering Eriyi, it should be the gods who make way." Lu Mingfei said proudly.

In human society, Eri is a mafia princess, and on a religious level, Eri is the Tsukuyomi of the Snake Qihachi family, the "descendant of the gods" of the Eight Sutras. How can any god be so proud? Let the three great gods make way for him?

Near the center of the shrine, a kind of coarse sand appeared on the shrine. It is called "Jade Gravel". There were too many people last time and I didn't notice it. This kind of sand is soft and makes wind blows when you step on it. The rustling sound like leaves is said to have a calming effect.

"A lot of wine." Eriyi pointed to the racks with rows of large wine bottles on the roadside, "I saw it last time."

"This kind of thing is called a 'dedication wine bottle'. It was built so that the gods who live in this shrine can taste wine from all over the world. All the wines that can be named in Japan will be collected here." Lu Mingfei pointed out Pointing to the wine rack on one side, he pointed to the other side, "The other side is Western wine, because Emperor Meiji liked foreign wine very much. During his reign, he promoted an idea of ​​'harmonious souls and foreign talents'. It’s about letting Chinese people learn to accept Western culture well.”

Chapter 881 Drinking Like an Old Married Couple

"What does it taste like?" Eriyi was a little curious about the wine here.

"Let's go take a look?" Lu Mingfei suggested.

If you don’t drink secretly, just see if it’s not illegal, right?

But while looking at it, if one of the wine bottles that Eriyi wanted to try happened, really happened to break a small opening, and the precious wine inside leaked out, in order not to waste it, Eriyi used her little mouth to help Take it, it’s not illegal, right?

Of course it's not illegal. This is a good deed by a good person. Not only did this precious good wine not go to waste, but it also prevented the wine racks and floors of Meiji Shrine from being soiled. He is really a good citizen with a public order and a warm heart. If Lu Mingfei was like this The person in charge of Meiji Jingu Shrine can’t wait to give Erashi a small red flower!

Lu Mingfei led Hui Liyi to the tall wine rack. Jars of white wine bottles were neatly arranged on the shelf. They were made of ceramic and each jar was as big as Lu Mingfei's head.

"Seven Sages", "Shannan", "Shengsheng", "Yamazaki"... There are all kinds of wines with names you have heard of but not yet. The collection here is quite complete. Of course, those produced in small workshops, Or wine that is too cheap can’t be found here.

A white boundary line was drawn in front of the wine rack. It was said to be a boundary line, but it was actually just a few white hemp ropes supported by wooden sticks. Thin flags were hung on the wooden sticks, which was probably some kind of distinction. A symbol of the human and divine realms.

This kind of east-west road obviously could not be crossed with one foot, but he did not do so because there was a "no tourists allowed" sign next to the wine rack. Maybe it was to avoid some tourists from outside who couldn't understand the sign. This sign was translated into sixteen languages ​​including Chinese, Japanese and English.

If he just broke in, he would become a thief or a robber. Lu Mingfei still had this quality. Lu Mingfei looked at him and stood outside the boundary line, and tried to get inside enough, but found that at this distance, his hand I almost came across those wine bottles. It seemed that my little idea of ​​drinking secretly was put on hold.

"Sakura." Eriki on the side suddenly shouted.

"Huh? What's wrong?" Lu Mingfei approached.

"It's Sakura, your name is here." Eriki pointed to a small, less conspicuous sign that stood alone next to the wine rack.

"It really does." Lu Mingfei saw the name "Sakura Lu Mingfei" written on the small sign, still in Chinese. He pointed to the bottom of his name, "Eri Yi, your name is also there. "

There were only the names of Lu Mingfei and Hui Liyi on the whole small sign, and then there was a simple arrow pointing to something in front of the wine bottle. Lu Mingfei led Hui Liyi and walked over, and found that it was a coffee bottle. There is a machine that looks like a machine. Next to the machine is a small table with two stacks of tall wine bowls on it.

There was a simplified manual about this machine. Lu Mingfei picked up the manual and flipped through it. He could easily understand it. The general meaning is that this machine is connected to all the wines on the wine rack. Select the manual. Set the serial number, press the button, and the corresponding wine will flow out. The two stacks of wine bowls must be used to catch the wine.

Lu Mingfei stretched his head and looked sideways, and found that there was indeed a fiber conduit behind the machine. The conduit extended all the way to the wine rack and branched out. The thin pipes were connected to the back of each wine bottle... I want to drink. The wine was actually drawn from these wine bottles on the spot.

Lu Mingfei turned to the last page of the instruction manual. Apart from the concise description of "stealing the wine machine", there was only a simple sentence on the last page.

"Don't drink too much."

Combined with the small sign that led Lu Mingfei and Hui Liyi here, it is not difficult to see that this was prepared for them a long time ago. The person who organized all this had long expected that Lu Mingfei and Hui Liyi would see this place. The wine club wanted to try it, so we specially arranged a wine tasting service for them, which was considerate and self-service.

"Your brother is really a fucking talent!" Lu Mingfei was so moved by Yuan Zhisheng's considerate service that he couldn't control himself from swearing in front of Eryi.

"Are they all drinkable?" Hui Liyi looked at the magical "wine stealing machine", her eyes sparkling.

"Well, you can drink everything. You can taste whatever you want. Your brother said so." Lu Mingfei nodded, picked up the wine bowl, and reminded Eliyi, "But don't drink too much. It's your brother too." You said, which one Eriyi wants to drink, I’ll pick it up for you.”

"I want 'Dayosheng', and I want plum flavor." Eriki read out the name of the wine she just saw, "Sakura is really good."

Lu Mingfei adjusted the serial number corresponding to that kind of wine, and then picked up the bowl to help Hui Liyi pick up the wine... Hui Liyi praised him so much, which made him feel quite useful, but Yuan Zhisheng would probably be very reluctant to hear it. .

With all Minamoto's thoughts and preparations, he just helped to pick up the drinks. In the end, in Eri's mouth, the best one was Sakura... What a pitiful brother in the world, but if I also have an Eri Yi is such a cute and well-behaved sister, so I will pamper her unconditionally.

A normal cute person shouldn't be able to reject a cute girl like Eri, right? The fat house will do double the damage!

After taking a big gulp of "Dayangsheng" in one breath, Eliyi "hissed, hissed" and stuck out her tongue from the spicy taste.

"Drink slowly." Lu Mingfei looked at Hui Liyi's appearance and reminded with a bit of laughter, "How can anyone drink like this? It's not like Snowflake or Bravely Entering the World."

"It doesn't taste good, what should I do?" Huiliyi held the half-empty wine bowl and looked at Lu Mingfei eagerly. It could be seen that Huiliyi's quality was indeed very high and she didn't want to waste the wine, so she asked for help. Lu Mingfei wanted Lu Mingfei to help her solve it.

"I'll drink, I'll drink. Hui Liyi, see what else you want to try. I'll help you avoid it." Lu Mingfei took the wine bowl from Hui Liyi's hand and took a sip.

It is indeed very spicy. This is not plum wine at all, but green plum-flavored shochu. The alcohol content is very high, and it can be considered a strong liquor. The sweetness of the green plums is almost overshadowed by the rich taste of the wine. No wonder Eriyi will Don't like to drink.

Fortunately, Eiry only felt it was spicy and was not easily drunk. No matter how strong the alcohol was, it would not have such a big impact on a super mixed-blood like Eiry. Otherwise, Yuan Zhisheng would not dare to let Lu Mingfei and Eiry drink like this. Otherwise, the bride and groom would get drunk and there was no telling what kind of embarrassment they would make in front of the guests.

Lu Mingfei finished the "Dayangsheng" left by Eiry. Lu Mingfei has a good alcohol tolerance. He started drinking Erguotou with his uncle in high school. This little bit of soju was far from enough to make him drunk. When Lu Mingfei looked at the empty bowl of wine he had finished, he suddenly felt like he and Eiry had become an old married couple.

Because in Lu Mingfei's memory, uncle and aunt were like this. Occasionally, the aunt would subconsciously hand over the food that she couldn't finish to her uncle, and the uncle seemed to be happy to deal with his wife's "leftovers", although this was rare. But Lu Mingfei carefully captured it several times. Even though they have been together for many years, this is probably what love looks like in ordinary life, Lu Mingfei thought to himself.

Lu Mingfei helped Hui Liyi pick up several wines that she wanted to try, but Hui Liyi seemed not satisfied with any of them because the alcohol content was too high and she couldn't taste anything except spicy. For Hui Liyi, For a girl like Li Yi who had almost never drank alcohol, Lu Mingfei thought that Hui Liyi would like a sweeter wine, similar to milk beer or pineapple beer.

Of course, adhering to the principle of eliminating waste, Lu Mingfei helped Hui Liyi finish all the unfinished wine.

"The local wines in Japan may not be suitable for Eriyi's taste. How about we try the ones across the street?" Lu Mingfei pointed to the wine rack opposite, "There seem to be dozens of foreign wines, including cognac. What, let’s go see if there’s anything suitable for girls to drink?”

Eriyi nodded and left without mercy. These ordinary office workers might not be able to afford a bottle of the local wine that she had labeled "very bad to drink" even after spending several years of salary. She looked forward to the shelf opposite. The wine served could taste better.

The wine on the opposite wine rack is no longer an upright wine bottle, but a horizontal wine barrel. It is said that these wines have been fermented in wooden barrels since they left the vineyard and have not undergone any processing or processing. processing, always retaining the original flavor. Most of the wines are produced in years that are even older than Lu Mingfei and Eli Yi.

There is also an identical machine on this side, which can "steal wine" from wine barrels. Lu Mingfei took the initiative to ask for help and chose a French wine for Eriyi that Caesar had invited him to drink at the Kassel College student union. , after picking up a bowl with ease, Eryi couldn't wait to pick it up, but was stopped by Lu Mingfei.

"Wait a moment, the wine needs to be sobered up." Lu Mingfei looked at the ruby-like rich wine in the wine bowl. He held the wine bowl and shook it gently clockwise.

"What is sobering up?" Eriki asked curiously, "Can I still fall asleep while drinking?"

"It's true what Eliyi said. If the wine is brewed for too long, you will fall asleep." Lu Mingfei was amused by Eliyi, and then explained, "Aberration means to let the wine and air Full contact allows the wine to release its original aroma by accelerating the oxidation process of the wine. After the wine "breathes", a substance called "tannin" inside will be softened and the taste will be improved a lot. At the same time, The purpose of decanting is to separate the wine from the brittle, bitter sediments and aggregates formed at the bottom due to aging, so that the foreign flavors and odors can evaporate and dissipate, and the floral and fruity aroma of the wine itself can be restored and the taste can be improved. Becoming richer, mellower and smoother.”

"Sakura knows a lot." As the leader of Lu Mingfei's praise group, Eri Yi did not hesitate to praise Lu Mingfei when it was time to exert her strength.

"I don't know much, I just learn a lot of things and sell them now." Lu Mingfei said a little embarrassed.

But now thinking back, it seems that I really haven't learned anything on the spot. I first came into contact with these things two years ago. These things, which are not easily accessible to ordinary people but are common sense in the upper class, are now familiar to me.

When Lu Mingfei saw his uncle and aunt today, he suddenly felt a strange feeling in his heart.

That strange feeling did not mean that the relationship between Lu Mingfei and his uncle and aunt had deteriorated, but that Lu Mingfei felt that he was no longer in the same world as them.

When looking at Director Chen and Mrs. Chen, who were a little in awe of him, Lu Mingfei's feeling became even stronger. It wasn't that he was so classy now and Director Chen's family was so low-class, but that Lu Mingfei felt that he was far away from them. Ordinary people's lives are getting farther and farther away.

Thinking back to two years ago... no, even five years ago, when Lu Mingfei learned that there were creatures like dragons and places like Cassel Academy in this world, he was pulled into this world by fate. .

The Gate of Kassel is really an irreversible door. Once you enter, you will have no choice or room to go back. You will be forced to become a figure in the upper class in the eyes of ordinary people. Everything you come into contact with and interact with is enough. Shake the world's powerful people.

Therefore, after Lu Mingfei went to college, he went back to his aunt less and less often. Even though his aunt no longer had any prejudice against him, Lu Mingfei actually avoided returning to that home...not entirely because he had to perform tasks. , not because he disliked the shabbyness of his aunt's home, but because Lu Mingfei felt that he gradually no longer belonged there.

Perhaps this was the reason why he didn't like Chen Wenwen in high school. In addition to knowing the existence of Eriyi, Lu Mingfei also realized that he would never belong to that world and that he could not be with Chen Wenwen. , as a literary couple, they would not be together with Liu Miaomiao, a docile talented girl, and they would not be able to marry Su Xiaoqiang, even if they could have their own skyscraper in the bustling CBD area, and have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of their lives. .

Looking back, when I was in high school, apart from having frequent contact with Chu Zihang, my relationship with other people was really indifferent. So maybe it was because of this incident that Chu Zihang made others think he was cold and withdrawn? Because senior brother has long known that he does not belong to that world, he deliberately avoids leaving any traces of himself in that world.

So compared to himself in the dream story, Lu Mingfei's biggest change may not be in terms of strength, but that he finally truly integrated into the world of hybrids and accepted the fact that he is a monster.

Lu Mingfei was stunned for a while. At this time, a devil suddenly jumped out and smiled happily at Lu Mingfei. Then the whole world's time stopped. The devil might first tease Eri Yi who could not move. Then he told Lu Mingfei a lot of mysterious words, and finally told him: "Brother, you have finally realized the cruel truth of this world. I am very happy."

But today for the first time, the devil didn't show up. I don't know if it was Lu Mingfei's illusion. I always felt that after killing Herzog, the guy seemed to be deliberately avoiding me.

"Sakura...Sakura..."

The continuous calls brought Lu Mingfei back to his senses.

Chapter 882 Eriyi’s progress

Looking at Hui Liyi who came closer with worry written on her face, Lu Mingfei suddenly seemed to be enlightened.

"I understand." Lu Mingfei said, looking at Eli Yi's face.

"What does Sakura understand?" Eriki asked seriously.

"I understand that people in the inner world and the outer world are destined not to be together, otherwise it will only be a tragedy, just like my senior brother's father and mother, so Chen Wenwen and I are destined not to be together. , even without your appearance, Hui Liyi." Lu Mingfei said calmly, "Including Senior Sister, it is absolutely impossible for me and Senior Sister to be together, because we are not from the same world at all. It's not that Senior Sister is too Sa, I am too No, only monsters can be together."

"Monster." Eriyi's eyes flashed slightly when she heard the word.

"Yeah, I'm not saying that my senior sister is Ultraman or something, but she can probably be regarded as a member of the Victory Team who drives a fighter jet, a guy driven by justice. Even if she knows that some monsters are not bad guys, and she has become partners with monsters, It's impossible to be with a monster." Lu Mingfei smiled, "After all, they are cross-species. How can there be such a thing as love between a moose and a lion?"

"The lion will eat the moose." Eriki also smiled.

"Yes, even if the lion and the moose become good friends, no matter how good their relationship is, if the lion gets hungry one day, he will still be tempted to eat the moose." Lu Mingfei nodded lightly, "So we can and Only monsters are together. They can cuddle up together to keep each other warm, and they can also show their fangs and conquer the world.”

"There is no need to conquer the world." Eryi completely understood what Lu Mingfei meant.

"It doesn't matter whether we conquer the world or not." Lu Mingfei shook his head. Since Hui Liyi could understand her words, Lu Mingfei could tell her truthfully what was on his mind, "I want to tell Hui Liyi What’s more, I once had a friend who told me something like this. He said that there are about 20,000 people in the world who will fall in love with you at first sight, but unfortunately you may not meet any of them in your life. One, love at first sight is not magic, it’s fate.”

"And what I want to say is that it is still difficult for people to find their destined partner. For a monster hiding in the crowd, it is almost impossible for it to find another monster throughout its life." Lu Mingfei, "If this If there really is such a thing as Bloodmourn in the world, the fate of that monster must be extremely lonely.”

Eriyi blinked in confusion. It was a bit difficult for her to understand the advanced vocabulary, but she understood the meaning and emotion expressed by Lu Mingfei.

"So the fact that I can be with Eli Yi is no longer fate, but a miracle." At this point, Lu Mingfei suddenly leaned forward and put his forehead against Eri Yi's forehead. Fei said softly, "What I want to understand is that I am not the kind of person who has the right to happiness, but the appearance of Eriyi saved my life that should have been lonely and dying. Eriyi said that she is a little monster , someone also said to me that I am actually the biggest monster in the world.”

"So in the days to come, the big monster will protect the little monster." Lu Mingfei said in the most gentle and serious tone in his life.

Eri's cheeks were slightly red. At this moment, this girl finally showed the same look as ordinary girls who are shy and playful when their heart is full of emotions.

At this moment, Meiji Jingu Shrine’s North Sanddo is deserted. The wind blows the leaves and makes a rustling sound. The swaying shadows of the trees cut the sunlight into messy and beautiful pieces. The calls of unknown birds and squirrels are heard in the dense forest. Standing on a branch holding the fruit that he had just picked up, he looked at the two figures who were almost merging together from a distance... Lu Mingfei and Eriyi were very close to each other, so close that they could feel each other. The warm breath of the other person, the heartbeats of the boy and the girl are infinitely amplified by something called "love", just like the gods plucked the strings of fate, and sounded the natural sound of harmony.

"Ah!" After posting like this for a while, Lu Mingfei suddenly exclaimed.

"What's wrong with Sakura?" Eriki asked with concern.

"Wine, wine, wine..." Lu Mingfei said in hindsight, "I'm too drunk!"

Looking at the crimson wine in the wine bowl in his hand, Lu Mingfei went up to take a whiff. The fruity aroma was already very faint. Apparently he and Eri Yi Qingqing lost track of time and missed the most suitable time to taste the wine. Most of the aroma has evaporated.

"I'll drink these, and I'll pick them up for Eri Yi." As he said that, Lu Mingfei drank up the wine in his hand.

"It doesn't matter." Eriki stopped Lu Mingfei from drinking alone, "Sakura gave it to me, I want to try it."

"Okay then." Lu Mingfei handed over the wine, and Hui Liyi was the biggest today, "If you feel it doesn't suit your taste, I'll give you other flavors to try later."

Eriyi took the wine bowl from Lu Mingfei's hand. In view of her previous experience of choking on soju, Eriyi just took a small sip this time.

Hey, Eriyi's eyes widened with surprise. Obviously, the taste of this wine exceeded her expectations. The alcohol content of this wine is not high. The ones in front only have a spicy taste. The contrast between the two wines before and after is strong. .

"It tastes good!" Eriyi praised, raised the bowl again, and took a big gulp.

"Sure enough, girls like sweeter wine." Lu Mingfei looked at Hui Liyi's cute look and smiled, "It's a pity that I didn't master the timing of sobering up, otherwise it should taste better, but not so sweet. "

"I like something sweeter." Eryi drank about half of the wine in the bowl, and then returned the remaining half of the wine to Lu Mingfei.

"Huh? Can't you finish it?" Lu Mingfei took over the half-drunk bowl from Hui Liyi. Lu Mingfei looked at the remaining wine and didn't understand. Didn't he say that this wine was delicious? How could he return it if it was delicious? Leave half as before?

"It's for Sakura." Eriki said.

Lu Mingfei was stunned. Hui Liyi probably forgot that they could "steal" these wines without any limit. They just needed to take the bowls to pick them up. Anyway, Yuan Zhisheng would tell them everything... But when they saw Lu Mingfei understood Eliyi's slightly stubborn expression instantly.

In this girl's mind, she should not monopolize things, whether she likes them or not. After she met Lu Mingfei, her world was no longer just for one person, just like "Sakura & Eri's Little Yellow Duck" and "Sakura & Eri's Rilakkuma", and the same goes for these wines. Even if she likes them, she will give half to Lu Mingfei, because in this girl's world, everything is shared by her and Lu Mingfei.
