On the second day, the skeleton servants in the castle prepared breakfast. Although the breakfast was just simple bread, fried eggs and bacon, plus a cup of hot milk, I don’t know if it was because of the special ingredients, the taste was unique and fragrant.
Death went to work early in the morning.
Under the guidance of the skeleton servants, Lu Yingjiu and Jing Xian finished their breakfast and then went to various places in the castle to admire the monsters.
By noon, the Grim Reaper finally came back in a hurry, with a few more dead souls around him. His sickle was shining coldly, as if he had just chopped off someone's head. He sighed deeply: "Working overtime again..."
As soon as he arrived at the hall, he saw two people sitting on the sofa, head to head, chatting intimately, and his eyebrows jumped.
Before he could get over the shock of the dog food after working overtime, he saw another skeleton running over. It hesitated for a long time before saying, "The two griffins you brought back a few days ago..."
"Um?"
"We, we found something."
Death frowned, "What's going on? What could possibly happen?"
"Would you like to come with me?"
Lu Yingjiu also heard it. He liked griffins very much. They were furry, friendly and cute. He immediately said, "Why don't we go together?"
Five minutes later, the two ghosts, one with a skeleton, stood in front of the two griffins.
The griffins locked necks and tangled together, even their tails were tightly entwined.
… As you can imagine, these are two male griffins.
The Grim Reaper heaved a sigh of relief: "Oh, it's not a big deal. If you're gay, then be gay. If you want to be in a relationship, then be in a relationship. It's not like everyone else is in a relationship."
Lu Yingjiu: “…”
He subconsciously glanced at Jing Xian, feeling something was wrong.
In the next two days, the Grim Reaper went on business trips and worked overtime, and they met the unicorn, giant, mermaid and gorgon in love, as well as zombies, werewolves, bats, gargoyles and centaurs, all of whom were passionately showing their love.
Something terrible, something that could be called the law of cause and effect, was spreading within this castle.
Lu Yingjiu said to Jing Xian tactfully: "Jing Xian, don't you feel that the monsters around here are a little strange since we came here?"
"No." Jing Xian said, "Love is free."
After four days, the Grim Reaper finally had some free time.
He returned to the castle, where he was greeted by a huge army of lovers.
He was shocked: "Jing! Xian! What have you done?!"
Jing Xian held Lu Yingjiu with one hand and held the red wine glass with the other, and said inexplicably: "You didn't do anything."
He is telling the truth.
Under Lu Yingjiu's supervision, he has been very honest and well-behaved these past few days, just following Lu Yingjiu to travel around the area and appreciate more monsters.
"Then why are all those monsters together?!" Death was still shocked, "And they are all men and women together?"
Jing Xian: "Freedom of love."
That afternoon, the Grim Reaper sneaked up to Lu Yingjiu with a small notebook in his hand.
He said, "Can I make a deal with you?"
Road to welcome wine:
The Grim Reaper pushed the notebook over and said, "Write down all the ghosts and monsters you like, and I'll pack them up for you to take away."
Lu Yingjiu was very surprised.
He originally thought that the Grim Reaper would struggle for a long time before succumbing to the temptation of the blood bat.
He said, “What are the conditions?”
The Grim Reaper took a deep breath and said, "The condition is that you take your man away immediately!! Don't let him come back!" He was almost indignant and angry. "If this continues, the whole world will be destroyed by him."
Lu Yingjiu: “…”
really.
So after five days, Lu Yingjiu led the griffin, unicorn, zombie, werewolf and Jing Xian away.
Return with a full load.
All that was left was a Grim Reaper holding a blood bat and working overtime in tears, and monsters whispering and falling in love in the entire castle.
The monsters really couldn't take the plane, so they had to go through the ghost world.
Jing Xian ordered the ghosts to escort them slowly to the ghost world, while he and Lu Yingjiujiu took a plane back home.
In the evening, after taking a hot bath, I lay back in my familiar bed.
Lu Yingjiu said, "Now that you have dealt with the import issue, what else is there to worry about?"
Jing Xian thought for a moment and said, "What a bad band."
…
In fact, the existing bands in the ghost world are top-notch.
There are all kinds of instruments, such as guzheng, guqin, pipa, erhu, konghou, suona, drum and hulusi. When they are played together, it sounds like heavenly music.
But Jing Xian was not satisfied.
Because he felt it was not innovative enough.
Lu Yingjiu said: "Then where can we find a band?"
Jing Xian said: "I have a bold idea... Do you remember the golden figure in Tiandao?"
The "survey" of the formation can only locate the pollution of the Heavenly Dao.
Once the pollution is resolved, theoretically they can't go back.
But Lu Yingjiu made some changes to the formation, and after a long time, he and Jing Xian were finally able to return to the palace. They could do nothing, and could not go to the inner palace, and could not see the giant tree of the Heavenly Dao, so they could only see a golden figure outside the palace.
Two hours later, they stood in the outer hall.
The entire sky was filled with flying human figures, like nimble birds.
Lu Yingjiu studied them with an academic spirit and finally came to the conclusion: there are tens of thousands of fragments of the Heavenly Dao, but some fragments have become birds and beasts, flowers and birds, insects and fish, and ordinary people like him. Some of them stayed in the palace and turned into golden human figures.
When the Heavenly Dao is polluted and destroyed, one of the fragments will become the successor - that is why, at that time, they welcomed Lu Yingjiu with great respect.
In this sense, they are of the same origin.
And now, Jing Xian is trying to let the fragment of Tiandao learn Chinese and Western musical instruments.
Saxophone, violin, piano and guitar.
Accordion, clarinet, trombone and drums.
The sheet music was neatly piled up on the ground like a small mountain. The radio was playing music, and there was an instructional video on the electronic device next to it.
Lu Yingjiu said: "This is too cross-industry."
"We're flying here all day anyway, so we're just sitting around doing nothing." Jing Xian said, "We have to find something we're interested in, and whether we can learn it or not is up to fate."
Lu Yingjiu was a little suspicious.
After the two of them left the hall and disappeared, the golden figure in the air slowly stopped.
They hovered in the air, looking at the piles of musical instruments on the ground with a bit of curiosity. After a long time, a human figure finally came down and gently pressed the black and white keys of the piano -
"Do, re, mi—"
"fa, sol, la, si—"
The sound of piano keys rang out, and the golden figure danced, seemingly not understanding what was happening.
Then more and more figures came down and approached the instrument.
The whole air was filled with intermittent sounds of broken music.
After that, Lu Yingjiu and Jing Xian were busy and didn't care about this matter.
Lu Yingjiu temporarily accepted an emergency commission, catching ghosts during the day and preparing for the wedding at night; and Jing Xian also went out to fight, clearing out violent ghosts at the border at night and preparing for the wedding during the day.
In this way, half a month passed before they had time to relax and return to the palace.
As soon as Lu Yingjiu came back, he saw the musical instruments scattered all over the floor in a mess, and said to Jingxian: "You guys, you really have no interest."
"beep-"
As soon as he finished speaking, a loud sound rang out. Then there were intermittent trumpet sounds. Although it was not smooth and there were many wrong notes, the melody could be heard.
When Lu Yingjiu walked over, he saw a golden figure holding a French trumpet, blowing it vigorously. Next to him was a figure holding a sheet of music, holding it in front of his eyes.
Then, there were various sounds.
A golden figure flew to the center, holding a baton made of branches, and commanded the crowd in a serious manner. The other figures raised their heads, holding musical instruments in their hands, and the sounds of drums, trumpets, pianos, and flutes came in, gathering together in a lively atmosphere.
The entire hall was filled with the sound of music, and because this was originally a huge enclosed space, similar in structure to a concert hall, when all the music started playing together, coupled with the golden crowds that filled the sky and the ground, it actually had a sense of grandeur.
… just don’t really listen.
There were many wrong notes, the rhythm was fast and slow, and from time to time there was the sound of sawing bed legs.
But Lu Yingjiu was already amazed: "This learning speed is too fast! It's only been half a month."
"You don't eat or drink, you're idle all day long, isn't that fast?" Jing Xian said with a smile, "When the wedding comes, maybe you'll be able to hear it." He moved closer to Lu Yingjiu and said affectionately, "When you come, it can be regarded as the heavens witnessing your wedding."
Lu Yingjiu said: "This is not only a testimony, you are asking me to play music for us."
"Well, that's just the idea. Anyway, our wedding must be grand."
Lu Yingjiu added: "I thought you had no feelings towards the Way of Heaven at all."
"No." Jing Xian said frankly, "But I like these humanoids very much. Besides, even if they are enemies, wouldn't it be more fun to invite them to the wedding? I want to invite all my enemies—even though there are only a few of them, and the others were killed by me accidentally... In short, I want to let them know how happy my wife is."
Lu Yingjiu: "... Don't."
That night, he paid some physical price before Jing Xian gave up this terrible idea.
After the price was paid, the two lay in the same bed and discussed it for a while, and found that everything was almost ready.
In addition to the various matters instructed at the beginning, the imported ghost was ready, and the band was also ready.
Everything is ready except the east wind.
The days go by one by one.
Just three days before the wedding, Maotuanzi suddenly lay on Lu Yingjiu's legs and whimpered, as if he wanted to say something to him.
Lu Yingjiu picked up Xiao, listened for a moment, and suddenly raised her eyebrows: "Huh? You want to invite your relatives to attend the wedding?"
