three watch drums

Chapter 62

When the bright sun and the bright moon in the demon world each occupy half of the sky, the festival will begin.

Looking up at the sky, although it is a wonderful sight, it is definitely not pleasing to the eye - just imagine that half of the ground is scorching hot, and it is a hot day in July. Thick-haired species wish to shave themselves bald, and thin-skinned and white-faced species wish to cover their heads Covering the face; while the other half is covered with snow all over the knees, it is a kind of severe cold that can be felt even to the fingernails, stay quietly for a quarter of an hour, the blood is stiff and the flesh is hard, and the joints may not be able to bend for an hour , which is full of ice scum.

However, the sacrifices in the demon world form a long arc, separated at the two ends of yin and yang, and one can see which species like yin and which like yang at once.

Su Chan was wearing a snow-white cloak, and in his arms was the pearl that was warm in winter and cool in summer, so he didn't find it difficult to adapt.

As soon as they settled down in Luo Ming's mansion, they were kicked out by the anxious Taifu, saying that there was something not to be missed at the festival.However, Luo Ming also said a few words that made Su Chan very nervous, such as, "My lord has never been to a festival, so I can't always be so closed-minded", or, "The demons are very lustful and famous in the Six Realms, Mr. Su can be careful".

The former beat Xie Changlin back to his original form, and it was unreliable to use him as a guide, while the latter made Su Chan's hair tremble - he had provoked a lot of rotten peach blossoms, if every one of them is not dead, then this festival will definitely be full of excitement.

But Su Chan loves to be lively by nature, and after thousands of years of closed-off audio-visual recuperation, he finally regained his five senses, so there is no reason to avoid the crowds.Besides, the seeds of rebellion were buried deep in his gentle and warm skin, and he dared to smash the signboard of the Heavenly Tribulation, so he was afraid of such trouble?

"Long Lin," Su Chan tilted his head, smiling harmlessly, "You go ahead."

The festival in the Demon Realm is indeed huge... The yin and yang sides even built a huge floating boat in Xie Changlin's original shape, and blue flames burned blazingly on both sides of the boat's wings, much like the fluorescent lights under Xie Changlin's wings.

Both sides were busy preparing for something, and seeing Su Chan's neck hurt a little.

Compared with the festivals and festivals in the human world, the demon world is obviously more bizarre.In addition to the two huge floating boats that swaggered across the market, there were countless small boats available for rent, which were operated by monsters born with two wings or not fully transformed. Basically, a low-level magic weapon can be used for a day.

There is no currency in the demon world, and the principle of exchanging things for things is still upheld. Su Chan believes that they will definitely not suffer from Yuheng's careful calculation and careful character.

In the middle of the sky, the scorching sun finally slowly rose to its limit, and when it stood shoulder to shoulder with the everlasting bright moon, a spring breeze suddenly fell in the narrow gap where the yin and yang intersected, opening up ten miles of summer heat and snow at the most lively festival.

The fun has finally begun.

"Let's go," Su Chan held Yu Heng in his hand, turned his head and smiled at Xie Changlin, and said, "Didn't Lord Demon Lord say that he wanted to show me your hometown? If you are so hesitant, I can't wait." gone."

"Not busy." Xie Changlin led Su Chan to look up to the sky, and suddenly a snow-white light and shadow bloomed under the scarlet sky, as if the mountains and rivers were reversed in an instant, and the years were fleeting - the light and shadow laid out his own appearance in front of Su Chan. .

Shengxue was dressed in white and stood on the top of the blue sea waves, holding a light golden soul-attracting lamp in his hand.Because the whole picture is made up of fireworks, the face is somewhat blurred, but firstly, Su Chan has never looked at the bronze mirror, and secondly, he already has the memory of the past, even if it is incomplete, this image still has an impression.

"I can see these fireworks in my own palace..." Xie Changlin retracted his gaze and sighed contentedly, "I finally got tired of watching them today."

During the ceremony, there were crowds of people, and the hustle and bustle was comparable to that of a busy city. Xie Changlin's sincere words seemed a bit flimsy in the noise, but they failed to reach Su Chan's ears. Instead, some thieves ran past Xie Changlin and stole his bosom. Fireflies made of jade.

This pair of little things were used by Xie Changlin very without dignity, and they were given away whenever they wanted, but in fact, they are not only psychic, but also a symbol of power in the demon world. It is almost equivalent to the national seal and tiger talisman of Great Chu.

Even Xie Changlin didn't expect that there would be someone in the world who would dare to steal from him.

The thief was like a mouse in stature, but covered his head and face, and wore a very slippery satin robe.Xie Changlin's complexion was frosty in the middle of winter. Seeing that he was about to start a killing spree among the bustling crowd, Su Chan quickly grabbed him and whispered in his ear, "Don't you think this person looks very familiar?"

It is seven points similar to the mouse spirit who stole the gold-plated shakuhachi in the ghost market, with a gray tail protruding from his robe, and he is running around without knowing the direction-even this thief seems to be related by blood.

"Follow him." Xie Changlin instantly understood Su Chan's intentions, turned his feet to cover up his evil aura, and quietly followed behind the thief.

The mouse spirit didn't find anything, and after a brief panic, he found that there was no confusion, and then he calmed down slowly.He was about as courageous as a fingernail, and at the slightest movement, he thought it was against him, so he searched for corners that were difficult to get into, made several circles along the way, and finally stopped under an empty boat.

After training, most of the monsters can go to the sky by themselves, unless they are really weak and limited by their race. Therefore, the business of these ships is not good. Every year, it is for the sake of being able to stand shoulder to shoulder with Xie Changlin's huge boat. Occasionally, seventy or eighty ships are rented out.

There is a docking cabin on the giant boat, which can be used for short-term repairs, but the docking cabin is very far away from the bow, and basically belongs to two non-interfering worlds. If you want to dock, you have to pay a price-this shows that there are also monsters profiteers.

The rat spirit was holding the jade carving in his hands, his palms were covered with sweat, and he didn't know what dark and humid place he stayed in for many years, and his whole body smelled weird.The two jade carvings were spiritually connected, causing the jade carving in Su Chan's arms to flap its wings uncontrollably, making a dissatisfied voice in his ears anxiously.

"I know, I know... I'll be wronged for a while, we'll figure out what's going on, and let it come back." Su Chan coaxed the child into becoming addicted, and he was able to pick out a bit of tenderness towards this jade thing, he said again , "After I come back, I will ask the devil to prepare two boxes, so that you can stay comfortably?"

The firefly was actually convinced, and obediently fell back into Su Confession's sleeve, pointing the way for him from time to time.

The mouse spirit searched for a while in the empty boat, and seemed to have found something, then turned around and negotiated a price with the boss.He was very vigilant all the way, even when he got on the boat, he still didn't forget to turn his head and look around.

"Let's go up and have a look." Su Chan said, "Thieves always have people or places to sell their stolen goods. I see that he has been around the festival for so long, but he seems to have only stolen you. It must be for some purpose—the thief. How can anyone be suspected of stealing more?"

When he said this, he had already entered the small cabin together with the two dolls, and the three pairs of poor people's pitiful eyes looked at Xie Changlin, who was taken advantage of.

"..." The boss who ran the business seemed familiar. The more Xie Changlin looked at it, the more he felt that he had seen it somewhere.

"Devil...devil master..." The boss stammered and shouted. Fortunately, his place is in a recession, otherwise this festival would definitely cause chaos, "I, I, the one who opened the tavern in the ghost city!"

Xie Changlin's memory is very good, he doesn't have the habit of forgetting things even at a young age, after this reminder, he also remembered the people he only met once, so this extortion seemed abnormal and natural.

"I want this boat, and you can ask for the money at Luo Ming's residence." After a pause, Xie Changlin suddenly realized something, and continued, "You also come with me."

Since the boss has been running a wine shop in the ghost market for many years, he must know something about the transactions in it. In addition, the mouse may also have a relationship with the ghost market. Better than knowing nothing.

So this profiteer was pushed onto the boat of thieves by being kidnapped and deceived.

"I remember your old man's name is Gui... Turtle..." Su Chan and Xie Changlin had a good understanding, and they came over to chat with the owner of the restaurant. He boldly called him an "old man". The ancestors are more than that.

"Extremely flattering, it's rare that Daoist Su still remembers me, Gui Yibai." The profiteer is worthy of being a profiteer, and he knows how to speak well, and he took over the conversation naturally, neither embarrassing Su Chan nor embarrassing himself, "I am an honest man. Dutiful businessmen travel around all year round, looking at the opportunity to earn a little money."

He lowered his head and smiled, and said, "Speaking of which, I'm not afraid of the Daoist priest's jokes. Although I'm from the demon world, I rarely stay here. Not to mention the devil lord, even Tai Fu Luoming is familiar to me, so I didn’t recognize a few distinguished guests at the wine shop last time.”

"It doesn't matter," Su Chan also said, "Since Boss Turtle also has business in the ghost market, do you know the way inside?"

With the support of Xie Changlin, he didn't want to waste time, so he went straight to the point, "I saw an acquaintance here... I just rented an empty boat with the boss."

"This..." Gui Yibai was a little embarrassed, he carefully raised his eyes to look at Xie Changlin's face - the demon lord was born with a debt-paying face, just looking at it made Gui Yibai shudder.

"You two also know that the ghost market sells rare treasures, and there are only two places in the world where these things are gathered, one is the fairy road and the other is the demon world. But immortals are people who have attained the Tao and have not communicated with the other five realms for many years. Therefore, most of the treasures are actually from the demon world... I also want to take advantage of this festival to get some good things."

Gui Yibai knows how to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. He spits out all the information he knows without a knot in his tongue, even surpassing the scope of Su Chan's question, "And every year, the emissary of the ghost market will hide in the giant boat to appraise the treasure. Or buying and selling, if someone gets the treasure, he can use it as a stepping stone, even if he was not qualified to enter the ghost market before, it will open the door for you in the future."
