After dinner, Xiaodie happily took Xiaoyu to the center street, and introduced Xiaoyu to the wonderful Mid-Autumn Lantern Festival tonight.
"Come on, the riddle guessing game has started. The person who answered the most this year can get a bonus of 1,000 taels of gold from our richest man in the town, Mr. Xue." On the high platform set up in the open space of Zhongxin Street, one grows The middle-aged man with a horoscope screamed. When everyone heard the amount of one thousand taels of gold, they were naturally excited, and they all gathered around the high platform, rubbing their hands and eager to try.
Seeing the crowded black crowd in front of him, Xiaodie said with the mood of watching a good show: "Such a high reward, it's so lively to watch."
Xiaoyu saw such a lively lantern festival for the first time, and he also had a curious mood of watching in his heart.
"Everyone is quiet, and the riddle guessing activity officially begins." After the gongs and drums sounded, the surroundings suddenly fell silent, waiting for the first question.
"The first question, Mingyue Yikouyun's feet, in front of the two horseshoes of the residual flower, guess a word."
The middle-aged man on the high platform took the lantern handed by the person next to him, took out the note with riddles under the lantern, and cleared his throat before reading it word by word.
"Oh, guess a word. There are horseshoes, cloud feet in this question, and it is also related to the moon. Could it be a word of energy?" One of the luxuriously dressed men disassembled.
"This son only disassembled part of the mystery, so the answer is wrong." The middle-aged man on the high platform said with a smile.
After the words were over, the people in the audience began to think again.
After some research and thinking, Xiaodie turned her head to look at Huang Xiaoran and asked, "Brother, what is the word?"
Huang Xiaoran was silent, but Xiaoyu looked at him and asked, "You know what the word is."
Huang Xiaoran nodded and explained: "The moon hanging from the sky is the top, but it is under the hook of the cloud's feet, that is to say, the moon is below and the hook is on the top; the residual flower is a dagger, and the two residual flowers are naturally connected to a dagger; And this horseshoe, the so-called thousand miles begin with a single step, the horseshoe stepping on is four points, the complete combination is a bear character."
After hearing his dismantling, Xiaoyu nodded thoughtfully, but Xiaodie suddenly realized it, holding Huang Xiaoran's hand, and said with a look of admiration: "Brother, you are the smartest, I'll go and uncover the answer." ."
Fluttershy raised her hands and shouted: "I, I know the answer, yes..."
"It's a bear character." Before Xiaodie could say the answer, she was cut off by the voice of another woman from outside.
Everyone present, Xiaodie raised his head and looked around, but he couldn't see him.
"Don't look for it, I'm here." The voice sounded again, and everyone raised their heads and finally saw the person on the roof. He is dressed in white, with a long sword in his hand, standing sideways on the roof tiles, blending with the bright moon in the sky. "The girl's answer is correct. How about the following guessing." The middle-aged man on the high platform said to the woman on the roof.
When the woman heard it, she made a light leap, and her body fell to the center of the high platform lightly like a bird. When she turned and looked at the crowd, she could see her clearly.
She has a long dress with fluttering ribbons, her face is white and beautiful, she is a rare look in the world, and her curved eyebrows are filled with heroism, giving people a sense of coldness and arrogance. All the people in the audience who saw her appearance showed their coveted colors. But the woman only swept it away, without the slightest emotion in her eyes.
"This so-called lantern riddle is not interesting at all, and I have no interest in the thousand taels of gold. I just saw that none of you answered it, so I can solve the so-called difficult problem for you."
The middle-aged man chuckled, nodded and said: "The girl is so smart, she is indeed higher than the people present."
Xiaodie was originally upset because she was robbed of the words, and she became even more angry when she heard what she said, and stood up and said: "Who said that no one here guessed it, my brother guessed it, but you robbed it first. ."
"Oh, then I have to say the answer first, you guys say if I won."
"Yes, yes, that is, whoever answers the game first is the winner."
The woman's tone was indifferent and disdainful, but her words attracted the support of everyone in the audience.
Seeing that everyone fell to the woman because of her lust, Xiaodie was even more aroused, so she said: "Okay, since you are so smart, you don't dare to guess another question. Whoever answers first will win, and whoever loses will win. There is one thing to do for the other person."
The woman didn't speak, she was disdainful of the game because of her temperament, but she changed her mind when she saw Xiaoyu.
"How about it, dare you to compare?" Xiaodie continued to ask without hearing her answer.
"Okay, but I don't want you to do anything for me, I want her." The woman stretched out her finger to Xiaoyu.
"Sister Xiaoyu."
The woman pointed at Xiao Yu for no reason, and both Xiaodie and Huang Xiaoran were shocked.
"Sister, do you know her?" Xiaodie asked Xiaoyu approaching her.
Xiaoyu shook her head, she was also surprised, but after searching in her mind, there was no memory of this woman. But I also felt hopeful in my heart that this woman might be someone who knew herself and could tell about herself.
"Then, brother, for Sister Xiaoyu, you must win."
Huang Xiaoran patted Xiaoyu on the shoulder and gave her a relieved smile.
"Okay, please come up with this son." The middle-aged man said.
Huang Xiaoran bypassed the crowd and stepped onto the high platform from the left side of the stairs.
"The two of you will solve the last puzzle tonight. The white snake crossed the river for a round of red sun, and the blue dragon hangs on the wall and wears ten thousand gold stars. This is a pair of couplets. The upper and lower leagues each fight one thing, and the one who wins You can get a thousand taels of gold tonight. To be fair, please write the answer on paper."
The middle-aged man pointed to a piece of white paper placed on both sides of the table with pen, ink and inkstone pressed against it.
"How to solve this problem is both a couplet and a puzzle."
"It's really difficult, and I don't give any hints. How to solve this."
There was a lot of discussion around, Xiaodie was very confident in Huang Xiaoran, and took Xiaoyu's hand and said, "Sister, don't worry, my brother has been reading books since he was a child, not just for curing diseases."
After several months of getting along, Xiaoyu knew that Huang Xiaoran was not only smart but also meticulous in mind, and was even more meticulous about herself, but her heart was uneasy.
"The two have already written the answers, and now I will show them to everyone in public."
The middle-aged man walked to Huang Xiaoran's table first, picked up the white paper with the answer, and then picked up the paper on the table of the woman in white on the other side, and showed the answers of the two to everyone.
Those who read the answers on the paper were all surprised, and the answers of the two were exactly the same.
"Haha, both of them gave the correct answers, so the two can each get five hundred taels of gold and go and fetch the gold." The middle-aged man ordered the servants around him.
Although Fluttershy was unwilling to do so, but he drew a tie and got five hundred taels of gold, which was considered a pros and cons. So in the end, the five hundred taels of gold contained in the iron box glared at the woman in white.
"Hold on, I want to replace her with these five hundred taels of gold." The woman in white stopped their way and pointed at Xiao Yu again.
Xiaoyu looked at her indifferently, wondering why she saw a trace of hatred in the eyes of the woman in white. Huang Xiaoran stood in front of Xiaoyu and said politely. "Why the girl is like this, we don't know you, and we don't have hatred."
The woman in white smiled coldly, with chills in her eyes, she spoke. "Oh, you don't want to?"
"I thought the girl was afraid that she had confessed to the wrong person."
Huang Xiaoran hadn't finished speaking, the cold and sharp sword mouth was already caught in his throat.
The woman in white showed cruelty in her eyes, looked at his calm face and said: "You don't seem to be afraid of me, then you are not afraid of death."
Huang Xiaoran replied indifferently: "Zaixia is just an ordinary person, my life should be of little value to the girl."
"Humph." The woman in white snorted coldly, and the sword in her hand struck a bloody mouth on his neck.
"Brother, you demon girl." Xiaodie exclaimed, and threw the metal box full of gold at the woman in white, but in a flash she was beaten back by the force of her other hand.
"Be careful." Xiaoyu quickly pulled Xiaodie, letting her avoid the flying tin box. People on and off the stage hid one after another because of sudden changes.
"Oh, I was right, you demon, I will accept you today." When the words fell, he immediately waved the sword at Xiaoyu, and Zhong Xiaoyu flew into the air unexpectedly.
After a few rounds, the two will each occupy one end.
"Xiao Yu." Huang Xiaoran didn't care about her bleeding neck, and looked worriedly at Xiao Yu, who was facing the woman in white on the roof.
"Do you know me?" Xiaoyu asked.
The woman in white said fiercely: "I don't need to know you, I just need to accept you, lest you endanger the world."
Xiaoyu said indifferently: "You don't know me, but you say that I am a demon for no reason, and face me with a sword, then can I also say that you are also a demon."
"I am the only female disciple under the seat of the Kunlun Mountains, who is dedicated to destroying your demons. You think you can fool everyone with this pair of skins. It's a pity that you can fool these mortals, but you can't fool me. So you will die today." When the words fell, he flew his sword and flew towards Xiaoyu. The sword spirit was so powerful that he wanted Xiaoyu to die.
If before yesterday, Xiaoyu didn’t know that the power contained in her body must be unable to recoup, but now she has fully adapted to the body’s abilities. The more powerful opponents she encounters, the more her own strength will increase. Yu doesn't have a weapon in her hand, but as long as she just thinks about it, she can invisibly conjure a weapon against the sword spirit of a woman in white clothes. So after a while, the woman in white gradually lost the battle, but she did not give up. Her eyes became sharper and she used a more powerful sword aura. Suddenly countless poisonous bees appeared on the house, like a row. The black tiles that rose up in a swarm swarmed towards Xiaoyu.
"Sister Xiaoyu."
"Xiao Yu."
Huang Xiaoran and Xiaodie shouted worriedly.
Xiaoyu did not back up, but calmly looked at the countless poisonous bees flying over. He folded his hands together, and his body was covered with white light. Then he pointed his fingers at the poisonous bee colony. By then, all the poisonous bees fell towards the lady in white. .
"Ah." The woman in white did not expect that the poisonous bee she trained with her own hand would attack her, and she surrounded herself with all her strength but was stinged on her face and neck, and she called out in excruciating pain. sound.
"Junior sister, are you okay."
A white-clothed man fell from the sky, conquered the poisonous bees around the white-clothed woman, and took her shoulder with one hand.
Quicksand Tsing Yi, demon is demon.
"Second brother." The woman in white called out, seeing the person in front of her. Song Songqing gave her a sign and smiled before looking at Xiaoyu.
"Brother, helped me accept her. She is a demon and hurt me." The woman in white touched her chin and said bitterly.
"It's a pity for such a stunning beauty." Song Songqing sighed.
Just now that this man expelled the poisonous bee with only one move, Xiaoyu knew that this man seemed not serious on the surface, but from the look in his eyes and the calmness of the situation, it could be seen that his thoughts were extremely deep. Wugong is also unfathomable.
"You are brothers and sisters, it's okay to go together, but I want to know why you must think that I am a demon, but I don't even know it."
Song Songqing lowered his head and looked at it. The busy and noisy central street had become a mess because of their previous fights, and the players were scared to avoid it.
"It is not suitable for disputes to arise here. It is better to change place and follow me." Song Songqing and the woman in white flew into the air together.
Xiaoyu flew off the roof and landed on the high platform. Huang Xiaoran grabbed her with worry in her eyes: "Don't go."
Xiaoyu smiled, patted his hand and said, "Don't worry, I'll be back when I go. You go home and wait for me."
"Sister, you have to come back safely." Xiaodie called to her.
"Yeah." After looking at Huang Xiaoran and Xiaodie again, Xiaoyu left.
On the banks of the falling water lake, everything is calm, and only by listening quietly can you feel the beautiful tranquility in the rivers and lakes.
"Second brother, you just watched a good show in the dark for a long time. If it weren't for my injury, would you not show up?"
Facing Fu Yi's question, and seeing the wounds on her face and neck stung by her own poisonous bee, Song Songqing curled her lips and smiled.
It was a great humiliation to be stung by a venomous bee that a demon used to raise himself. Now that Song Songqing smiles at herself, Fu Yi's heart is even more anxious, but at this moment the poisonous gas of the poisonous bee has not disappeared, and he is angry again. After pulling the wound, her whole body started to itch again, so she frowned and turned her face to become angry.
"Big brother has found you sneaking."
Song Songqing's words caused Fu Yi to immediately turn her head, her face showing horror.
Song Songqing saw her fear, and continued: "Big brother said that you will suffer, so..."
"So you have already made up your mind not to help me." Fu Yi said coldly.
"Hehe, didn't I help you now, but I didn't feel any demon in the woman, why do you insist on identifying her as a demon?" Song Songqing did not feel any demon in Xiaoyu, but I can However, Yi insisted on saying that she was a demon, which made him unable to understand.
Fu Yi took out an emerald green stone-like object, Song Songqing took a closer look, and cried out in surprise: "Experiencing the demon stone, you..."
Fu Yi twitched his mouth coldly and said: "I stole this from the big brother. If there is a demon within a thousand steps, the demon-testing stone will turn red, and the closer it gets, the hotter it gets."
Song Songqing pointed to the unchanging demon-testing stone and said, "You mean the demon-testing stone turned red when she was next to her, but now..."
"Now I'm within a thousand steps you said." Xiaoyu appeared from the dark night and walked slowly in front of the two of them. She was dressed in purple tonight, wearing a simple bun, and she was exceptionally bright under the moonlight. Qingmei. In fact, it has been quite a while since she saw the two elder brothers and sisters talking and did not show up.
"You, it's impossible. It turned red tomorrow and also burned my hand." Fu Yi felt it impossible, and to show her certainty, she stretched out her left hand to reveal the light red mark that has not faded.
Xiaoyu and Song Songqing knew that Fuyi didn't lie, but if it weren't for Xiaoyu, the demon must be hiding among them.
"Not good." Xiaoyu and Song Songqing yelled out at the same time.
When they returned to the market, the streets were full of dead horror corpses, and there was a strong demon atmosphere everywhere. Xiaoyu couldn't help being angry and fearful. She looked for them one by one, and found no phoenix in the corpse. Xiaoran and Xiaodie slowly took a fluke in fear, hoping that they did not encounter any accidents.
"Brother, what kind of demon did this, and the method is so cruel." Although I have seen many demons and collected a lot of them personally, it is the first time I have seen so many innocent people's corpses lying on a street corner. The tragic death makes people shudder.
Song Songqing threw away the clothes of the corpse with a sword and found that everyone's hearts had been hollowed out.
"If you guessed correctly, it should be the Blue Demon. He has turned into a mortal and hidden in the busy city." Song Songqing said in a deep voice.
"The big brothers..." Fu Yi had a bad feeling in her heart.
The Blue Demon killed so many people at once and even dug out his heart. It must have been injured. He wanted to use cannibalism to replenish his body energy. Then the elder brother and the others should be around here. His eyes were heavy and he said to Fu Yi, "No. Yes, the big brothers should have played against her in the back mountain, but unfortunately she escaped, and sent a signal to let them come here to meet."
Xiaoyu stood aside and didn't speak, but heard the conversation between the two, knowing that the blue devil in their mouth would heal the human heart, and worry about Huang Xiaoran and Xiaodie even more, but if they waited here for their brothers Then, the lives of Xiaoran and Xiaodie became more dangerous, so they wanted to find the Blue Devil by themselves.
"where you go?"
Seeing Xiaoyu who had not spoken about to turn around and leave, Song Songqing couldn't help but stopped her.
Xiaoyu didn't look back, and flew onto the roof.
"Fu Yi, you stay here and wait for the big brother."
"Second brother, brother..."
When the words fell, Song Songqing flew up to the roof to chase Xiaoyu, leaving Fuyi shouting at his distant back.
Looking all the way, the two reached the back mountain of Mid-Levels Town, and stopped in a clearing in the woods, surrounded by weeds, and the sound of insects broke the silence of the night.
"Why are you following me?" Xiaoyu asked Song Songqing, looking at him.
Song Songqing smiled before speaking: "The girl is alone, but no man will put a girl in danger.
Yes, let alone I know the Blue Devil better than a girl. If your relative is really caught by her, one more person will give you another chance to save someone. "
Although Song Songqing was full of anger, Xiaoyu couldn't refute what he said, and he would be able to find them faster if he was there.
"She should be nearby." The Demon Detecting Stone in Song Songqing's hand began to gleam with a faint red light.
The two of them walked forward one after another. The light of the demon stone at the entrance of the cave hidden deep in the woods became brighter and brighter. The two looked at each other and Song Songqing reminded in a low voice: "The blue devil is cunning and fickle. , Be careful."
The cave was very deep and dark. Song Songqing lit the fire and walked ahead. The two of them went forward for a long time before slowly seeing a bright light. They didn’t see until they got closer. It turned out that there was another hidden in this cave. Fan scenery.
In the original ordinary hole, a tree bridge with entwined trees and vines appeared. Underneath was a flowing stream. In the center of the tree bridge was a circular platform with green hanging branches hanging on the wall. The red and white flowers stretched until there was a hole on the top of the cave, and the moonlight gleamed down from above. A thick vine dropped from the hole into the hole, and along the vine, you could not look up at the top of it.
Song Songqing walked around the cave and found no other way out. The demon-testing stone in his hand had changed back to its original color. He stood under the opening of the cave and held the vine and tried hard. The vine was very strong and could carry multiple people.
"There is still a demon, it seems that she was indeed here just now, there is no way out, only to go out from the top of the cave along this vine."
Xiaoyu didn't speak, but only raised his eyes to see at the top of the cave that his body jumped and the force of the vines flew towards the entrance of the cave.
"girl."
I know that Xiaoyu doesn't talk much, but let me go ahead in dangerous places, and I was left behind by Xiaoyu once again. Song Songqing felt disappointed, so she hurried to catch up with Xiaoyu by leaping to the entrance of the cave.
I went straight up from the entrance of the hole to a courtyard. There was an old tree planted in the courtyard, which grew very luxuriantly. The vines in the hole were the roots of this old tree. A closer look at the trees that opened many red and white in the same hole. The flowers are shining with seven colors of light.
"The hibiscus sacred tree, I did not expect it to grow here." Song Songqing said in surprise when he saw the hibiscus sacred tree.
"Where's your demon-testing stone." Xiaoyu asked.
"Here, it has turned red, she should be here, but there is nothing here except this hibiscus sacred tree and this stone table." Although Song Songqing's demon-testing stone turned red, she couldn't see anything. No one can be seen in the hiding place.
Xiaoyu also patrolled the surrounding area, his eyes suddenly squeezed his hands together and hit the roots of the sacred hibiscus tree. Suddenly, the protective layer of the sacred hibiscus tree was extinguished, and an attic appeared in front of him.
"You can break my yin and yang barrier, your ability is not small."
At the end of the speech, a woman dressed in Tsing Yi appeared in the attic. Her face was delicate and beautiful, she looked like a beautiful woman, and she couldn't see any evil.
"It turns out that he is not only capable, but also a great beauty." After seeing Xiaoyu clearly, the green demon's tone was extremely cold.
"You're the Blue Devil, you can't think of being so undefeated." Song Songqing said after seeing her true colors. Legend has it that the Blue Demon kills people like hemp, and eats people’s hearts to keep her beautiful and youthful. People who have never seen her describe her as evil and ugly. She loves to wear a quicksand ginge, so she is named Blue Demon. The appearance of a young and kind, innocent woman.
"Hahaha, every man who meets me will like it, and you like me too." Qing Mo made a shy expression, and his eyes were full of charm.
"Although I admire beauties, I don't dare to like you, a woman who seems innocent but terrifying." Song Songqing smiled and said lightly.
The Green Demon looked at Song Songqing, then turned to look at Xiaoyu, his eyes became as sharp as a knife.
Xiaoyu looked directly into Shangqing Mo's eyes, not afraid of her, and just asked, "Have you finished talking, where are the men and women with me?"
The Blue Demon changed his expression at the moment, with a full smile and laziness: "It turns out that not only is the beauty of the human length, but the voice is also so moving."
While speaking, he lightly leaped from the attic and landed in front of Xiao Yu, and Song Songqing immediately stood in front of Xiao Yu.
Seeing Song Songqing's behavior, Qing Mo smiled clearly and said: "Oh, it turns out that you don't like me, it's her that you like."
Being touched, Song Songqing turned her head to look at Xiaoyu behind her with a little anxiety, and saw that she was also looking at herself. The bright moonlight of the night and her beautiful face was still cold, but it made him feel cold. Suddenly, his heart moved, and his handsome face was slightly shy.
like? What is it like? This man who came after her in spite of her senior brothers and sisters, she didn't even know what his name was. Xiaoyu was not as familiar with him as Huang Xiaoran and Xiaodie, so she didn't like it at all. I just feel that this man is a good person.
Putting away the eyes of Song Songqing, Xiaoyu walked up to him and looked at the blue demon and said, "What I asked you, you haven't answered me yet."
The Blue Demon pretended to be helpless and said: "It is not easy to save them. They are different from those who have died. Those people are selfish and selfish because they are greedy for life and fear of death. The most good and pure hearts, the most important thing is that their fate is from yin to yang. I have been looking for them for a long time. Now I have put them in the underworld to receive the fire of hell. In their heyday, they will merge with the sacred tree of Fusang and help me open the door to the human world and the underworld." The tone of life in the words is like a dropped hair that doesn't matter to her.
Xiaoyu watched her eyes slowly tightened, and his right hand sent a full blow to the Blue Demon, because it was unexpected, the Blue Demon was injured by the palm wind even if he dodged in time. Originally, the wound on her body had not healed, but now she was hit by Xiao Yu's palm again, and the injury was aggravated. She did not expect Xiao Yu's skill to be so high that she could be injured by just rubbing her palm.
"Then am I going to destroy this tree to break your plan." Xiaoyu said suddenly coldly.
The Blue Demon held the injured shoulder with his hand, gritted his teeth and stared at Xiaoyu: "You... OK." Suddenly a strange smile appeared on his face.
"No." Song Songqing stopped.
