252|The Ghost King’s Birthday
by Jessie@AFNCC●
Recently, a great event has been approaching.
Because of this matter, the ghosts of the ghost city are in a state of panic. Xie Ren heard was also a shock, and mysteriously came to inform him of the group of ghosts, the same as the heart: “birthdate?”
“Exactly!”
Precisely. Lord of the Ghost Market, Flower City, has a big birthday coming up in I don’t know how many years!
Xie Ren was caught off guard and was inexplicably nervous, saying, “This, this this this, how did Sanlang’s birthday go in the past?”
The group of ghosts scrambled and messily replied, “It’s hilarious gah!”
“It wasn’t much, just fooling around ……”
“But the City Lord, he doesn’t even care?”
Hearing this, Xie Ren said, “What do you mean by ignoring?”
A ghost said, “It’s the city lord, his old man, who never celebrates his birthday.”
“Yes, he never cares what we do on his birthday, and never looks at the gifts he gets from others. It’s just us having fun every year.”
“The City Lord is so forgetful, he doesn’t seem to remember when his birthday is!”
Xie Ren thought about it and immediately made up her mind. Since Hua Cheng didn’t take the previous birthdays very seriously, this time, she must find a way to give him a unique and interesting birthday, so that he can be happy on that day. Otherwise, wouldn’t a birthday with him present be no different from a birthday without him present?
First of all, the birthday gift was a must. Xie Ren was in deep thought, what to send?
All the ghosts also looked at him, saying, “Taoist Master Xie, are you thinking of giving the City Lord something?”
Xie Ren said, “Well. I’m ashamed to say that I …… am not quite sure what your City Lord would like. I’m afraid that in case what I send is not to his liking ……”
The pig butcher said, “Hey, what are you blindly worrying about, in fact, as long as it is a big uncle Gong …… Xie Taoist long you send, I see that our city master will be happy as hell.”
“Yes. Even if he sends a piece of scrap paper he will surely be happy, big …… thanks to the Taoist priest for sending it, how can it be the same as something sent by someone else!”
Xie Ren dryly laughed twice, feeling that this kind of idea is too narcissistic and frivolous, not dignified and sincere, said, “You can not say so, the selection of gifts must be heartfelt …… Do you have any suggestions?”
In any case, Flower City had been in the ghost market for many years, so perhaps the ghosts would understand his preferences a little bit better, and maybe if they put their heads together and he used his brain, they would really be able to find a suitable and original gift. Sure enough, the ghosts all said, “Yes, yes, yes!”
Said a dozen pairs of chicken claws, pig’s hooves, tentacles, etc. handed over a circle of miscellaneous things. These things Xie Ren have not seen much, was surrounded by them, the heart said magical. He casually picked up a mysterious and elegant looking green jade vial and asked, “Oh? What is this?”
The person who offered the bottle said, “This is a superb psychedelic drug! As long as a few drops of it, the poisoned person will immediately be turned on by heavenly thunder and earthly fire, and will be turned on by the person who gave it to him! And it doesn’t hurt the body!”
“……”
Xie Ren said with a straight face: “Thanks for the advice. However, love comes from the heart, how can it be manipulated with psychedelic|medicine? Everyone should refrain from using it in the future.”
The ghost who offered the medicine said with fear and trepidation, “Yes, yes, yes, no need, no need. But actually we don’t usually use it much, it’s not like you asked what to give, Taoist Master Xie!”
Xie Ren cried and laughed, thinking why would you guys think that I’m going to send ecstasy, and laughed, “I think that I’m afraid that your city lord wouldn’t need this kind of medicine.”
The ghosts, who had pressed the ghost down with seven or eight hands and feet, all yelled, “That’s right, who does the City Lord want, and does he still need to be drugged? Really!”
Xie Ren secretly thought, this is the truth. For example, he, who didn’t even need half the medicine, was almost delirious at the sight of Flower City, truly ashamed.
In order not to let his shame turn into a red cloud on his face, he hurriedly picked up the other box and opened it, “What’s in here again? Pearls? Elixir?”
The ghost who offered the treasure said, “This is the child-getting pill!”
“……”
Xie Ren simply do not even need to ask what this pill is for, immediately put the box “snap” sound closed, helplessly said: “This is what with what ah ……”
Why do you let him send such unseemly things as flower towns?
In short, a flurry of discussion, Xie Ren also know can not get any useful suggestions, urged the group of ghosts to secretly prepare for the ghost king congratulations on the birth of the matter, to give the flower city a surprise, he went down, continue to think slowly.
●
Perhaps he was really too mindful of this matter, so much so that his distress was written on his face; on this day, when he was accompanying Hua Cheng to practise calligraphy, he was racking his brains, when suddenly a voice came from the side: “Brother.”
Only then did Xie Ren come back to his senses and said with a sideways glance, “What?”
Hua Cheng was gazing at him, put down his pen, and said, ”Could it be my illusion? Brother seems to be worried about something. Can you tell me, so that Sanlang can share his worries?”
Xie Ren’s heart hangs in the air, and he immediately corrects himself and warns, “Pen, do not put it down. Don’t be lazy, pick it up and continue.”
Huacheng laughed, re-executed his pen, and sighed languidly, “Discovered.”
Seeing that the confusion passed, Xie Ren was secretly relieved. Who knows, Hua Cheng lifted his pen to write two lines, and then carelessly said, “However, recently, brother does, indeed, have some anomalies.”
Xie Ren’s heart was hanging in the air again, but on his face he still pretended to be calm and relaxed: “Oh? Where is the anomaly?”
Hua Cheng carefully scrutinized him for a while and laughed, “It seems extra …… thousand yi yi yi.”
Xie Ren smiled, “Have I not always been like this?”
He really thought bitterly and fruitlessly, decided to take the risk, first casually pulled some random nonsense, before finally pretending to be careless, “Sanlang, ask you a matter.”
Flower City said, “Hm? What is it?”
Xie Ren said, “Have you ever felt that something is missing somewhere or something like that?”
Hua Cheng said, “Lack? What does brother mean? Do you lack anything?”
Xie Ren said, “Oh, no …… I mean you. Just ask ……”
Poor him did not dare to ask too directly, such as “what do you like, what do you want” and so on, was detected by the city of flowers, so he had to beat around the bush; but beat around the bush, but I do not know whether to scratch the itch, fear very much.
Flower City said, “Me? Do you think, brother, that I will lack anything?”
…… That s true, Xie Ren can t help but be sarcastic.
Flower City added, “What is brother asking me this for?”
Xie Ren was afraid that he would notice, so he gave up, raised his hand and pushed hard. Hua Cheng never guarded against him, was pushed by him “thud” leaned on the couch, wide-eyed, but also not thought, smiled, said: “brother what is this doing? This is so warm, you ……”
Without waiting for him to finish, Xie Ren went up stiffly and blocked his words.
Now, Hua Cheng didn’t have the heart to continue interrogating, backhandedly wrapped his arms around him, rolled over onto his back, and just didn’t care what exactly was so abnormal about him.
●
One’s own meditation is no solution, Xie Ren only had to ask for external help. And the first thing he thought to look for external help, naturally, is the two powerful subordinates in the past years.
The three of them squatted inside a hidden and unseen broken temple, and after a moment of awkward silence, Feng Xin said, “What are you guys looking at me for?”
The other two were still both looking at him, and it was all in the air.
It can’t be helped, among the three of them, Feng Xin is the only one who has had a wife, and as a matter of fact, he should know the most about how to please the people close to him. But Feng Xin was looking at them with a dark face and said, “…… It’s useless for you guys to look at me. I’ve just given people one thing.” It was that golden belt. Just that one was still given to him by Xie Ren.
Mu love to him also be pulled to ask this kind of thing feel very incredible, can restrain not to roll his eyes when it is really very polite, just want to solve it quickly, said, “That’s fine ah, the belt is good, why don’t you also send a gold belt to him.”
Xie Ren automatically ignored his yin and yang and said, “I have long since pawned all of them.” All pawned out!
Mu Qing became more and more conspiratorial: “You are so smooth now, the streets are full of your temples and believers, casually dream of what you want, still worry about not getting a piece?”
Xie Ren said, “That doesn’t make sense. It would be too perfunctory to ask believers to make offerings even to give someone a birthday gift.”
Seeing that no matter how shady this person was, he was not moved, his tone of voice was finally normal, saying, “Why are you so troublesome? Then you make it for him with your own hands.”
Xie Ren was busy saying, “Good idea! But I won’t.”
“You can learn if you don’t know how.”
Xie Ren: “Well said. Who are you looking for to learn?”
Muoi said impatiently, “How should I know? Feel free to ……”
Before the words left his mouth, Muyi realized that this time, the other two people’s gazes were unanimously directed at him.
Two hours later, Xie Ren’s ten fingers on both hands had been pierced with seven or eight holes, tied with bandages to keep his hands from being full of blood, while an extra strip of unknown meaning and shape had appeared on his hands.
Muoi just couldn’t look away and asked, “What is this?”
Xie Ren sighed, “Belt.”
Mu Ai said, “I know it’s a belt. What I’m asking you is, what is embroidered on this belt? What is the significance of these two potato like patterns?”
Xie Ren said, “This is not a potato! Can’t you see it? This is two people.” In order for them to see it clearly, he also gestured, “The faces of two people, these are the eyes, and the mouths are here ……”
After confirming that these were really two human heads, Mu Ai said incredulously, ”How could anyone embroider two big heads on a belt? Can this be worn out? You don’t have such bad taste in clothes, how can you get your hands up and make something like this?”
Xie Ren couldn’t do anything about it. In fact, let him repair the house, well, wall building he is very good at it, fast and good, but he seems to be naturally not good at this kind of housework that favors women, once he let him take a needle and thread or a pot and spoon, the scene will not be able to control it. He glanced at the tied hands like dumplings, although he did not feel pain, but the progress was slow, inevitably helpless, said, “…… I’d better change it.”
But what can be changed when the wood has been turned? At best, a layer of petals was added to the outer rim of the two little people’s big heads, turning them into two kissy, clumsy big-headed flowers. Feng Xin and Mu Yi’s expressions became even more miserable.
Mu Qi’s forehead was slightly veined: “I taught the pig to teach, why are you so clumsy? Net to their hands to stab?”
Feng Xin said, “When have you ever taught a pig? What empty talk!”
Mu Qi nonchalantly said to Xie Ren, “Forget it, you’d better give up, you don’t have the talent.” It was rare for him to say something like “you don’t have the talent” to Xie Ren, but he actually said it with a straight face, which felt good. Feng Xin couldn’t stand to hear it anymore and said, “Can you say less? Since just now, you haven’t said a single word of praise for Your Highness, wearing clothes and doing it yourself are not the same thing! Besides it’s not that bad, at least this belt can still be worn.”
Mu情道:”Okay, send you this thing he made, I’ll serve you if you dare to wear it out.”
Before Feng Xin could reply, Xie Ren hurriedly put away the belt that was so ugly that it was funny, saying, “Please don’t please don’t. I’d rather keep this one for myself!”
It’s just not a good idea to give away this kind of stuff!
●
Feng Xin and Mu Yi were not going to be of much help, so Xie Ren turned to the next one.
“A gift? Your Highness the Crown Prince, this is really the right person for you to ask me. Think of the year, this …… me what rare treasures have not seen?”
The two squatted on the street, Shi Qingxuan cloaked in a great deal of interest, mouth like a river gabbling, at a glance know is a connoisseur, Xie Ren more and more modest to ask for advice. Shi Qingxuan eloquent, said: “This ownerless treasure is there, but to get it, it must take a lot of effort.”
Xie Ren busily said, “No harm done. Just what I want.” The more effort he had to spend, the more precious it would be, and wouldn’t it be the more it would show off his intentions? It would be best if it was the most difficult treasure in the world to obtain, one that no one had ever succeeded in challenging, so that it would only be of great significance if he were to seek it out for Hua Cheng. As long as he thought of being able to make Hua Cheng slightly raise his eyebrows and hook the corners of his lips, Xie Ren was filled with uncontrollable joyful anticipation and was eager to try it out.
Shi Qingxuan pondered for a moment and said, “Starry Heaven Pot! Your Highness, you should have heard of it, right? This pot is a treasure, put it in the night, the stars and moon in the sky reflected in the pot of wine, you can absorb the essence of the sun and moon of heaven and earth aura, not only elegant, but also can greatly help grow cultivation ……”
Who knows, the more Xie Ren listens, the thicker an ominous premonition grows in his heart, and he busily interrupts, “Wait.”
“What’s wrong?”
Xie Ren compared the size and said, “Qing Xuan, what you are talking about, is it a small black jade pot of this size? With fine starlight embedded on top of the black jade?”
Shi Qingxuan wondered, ”Huh? How do you know, Your Highness the Crown Prince? Have you seen it?”
“……”
More than seen, last month he tried to pour some water to drink, but, forgetting that his hand was injured, he accidentally failed to hold it firmly and broke one of these jugs.
At that time, Hua Cheng immediately came over to ask him what happened to the injury on his hand, he looked at the pot is very beautiful and strange, asked Hua Cheng how to do, can repair, but Hua Cheng said nothing is a trinket, did not look at a glance and asked his subordinates to the pot of debris swept away and threw, grabbed Xie Ren to cure the arm to go.
Now that I think about it, could it be that the one he broke was the rare treasure Starry Heaven Pot that that Shi Qingxuan had spoken of?
Xie Ren s heart was half cold, and after a long time, he said, “This …… may not be appropriate. Change it.”
“Oh.” Shi Qingxuan was unsure, scratched his hair, pondered for a moment, and then said, “Then the next one, the Eight Desolate Pen! This is a remarkable one, picked from the tail tip of the spirit tail of an ancient demonic beast, and the quill is made from a branch of a jade bamboo spirit’s head, which will grow when not writing ……”
Xie Ren said, “Jasper Bamboo Leaf?”
Shi Qingxuan said, “Right! Your Highness the Crown Prince, how do you know that too? You’ve seen it again?”
I’ve seen it before. That pen is the one Hua Cheng uses every day to practice his writing. And when he wrote ugly words, he blamed it on the pen, throwing it to the ground and sometimes kicking it to nowhere. Afterwards, Xie Ren often had to look around to find where the poor pen was, and then picked it up and wiped it.
“…… “Xie Ren said, “This one, it might not be too suitable either. It’s better to change another one.”
Shi Qingxuan said seven or eight things in a row, Xie Ren realized that these rare treasures in the mouths of onlookers, how are they all so familiar, and they are all so miserable. Either it was the stool on which Hua Cheng stepped, or the stall on which he paved the ground; either it was used for his amusement, or it was lost to him!
That’s true. What other rare treasures could there be in this world that Flower City had never seen and couldn’t get?
Therefore, the Ghost King’s birthday gift, thinking further in this direction, is unthinkable.
●
Sick and desperate, Xie Ren almost to his acquaintance, can ask all over, but: Quan Yizhen, will only plug the gold bars, flower city and not bad money; Pei Ming, this person will only give gifts to women, to ask him to send a man can send what he can not say what serious words: Spirit Wen, although the monks on the upper level of the magistrate to protect, coupled with the heavenly court is really lack of her can not be, at least it is not to be put in jail, but has been buried in a sea of papers thrown at her to lose consciousness. But she has been buried in the sea of papers and documents thrown to her and is about to lose consciousness, in addition to the approval of official documents will not be anything, it is better to shut down the prison clean it.
There was no way to ask for help from all directions, and by the time there were only two days before Hua Cheng’s birthdate, Xie Ren really had no way out.
He stared at it all night, his eyes bloodshot, and finally, just as it was about to get light, he figured out what to send.
With a passing thought in his head, he quietly got up from the couch and glanced at Hua Cheng, who was sleeping peacefully on the side.
Hua Cheng black hair like raven, long eyelashes like paint, eyes closed tightly, can not see that one eye is no longer there, handsome face and the natural meaning of attack between the complexion of the eyes after closing the eyes was diluted a little, at the moment it seems that there is no reason to be gentle.
Xie Ren’s heart was moved, and he couldn’t help but stretch out his right hand to caress Hua Cheng’s face. After all, she was afraid of waking him up and withdrew her hand without daring to touch him.
Who knows, before he even got off the couch, his waist tightened and he was fished back in by a hand. A lazy voice came from behind him, “Brother, what are you doing up so early?”
Hanagi actually woke up!
He spoke in a low voice, with a hint of sand, seems to be still half asleep. Xie Ren was coldly fished back by him, forced to hold back his heart, calmly said, “Oh, there are prayers.”
Hua Cheng came up and kissed him on his ear, saying, “It’s not even dawn yet, who goes to the temple so early in the morning to pray to God? Who is impatient to live?”
It is probably a ghost in the heart, Xie Ren heard him talking in his ear, his face got hotter and hotter, and said, “It is not just received, it is the backlog of …… previous.”
As he spoke, he found it difficult to speak normally in this position, and was about to get up again, but Hua Cheng sat up with him, circling his neck from behind, his head resting on his shoulder, saying, “Since it’s all been backlogged up to this point, what’s the harm in backlogging it up for a while longer? Brother was exhausted last night, it’s better to rest for a while longer.”
Xie Ren tried to fight against his pestering arms and following voice, very reluctantly, and said, “I …… have been backlogged for a long time, I can’t press it any further ……”
Flower City said, “Oh. Then I’ll go with you?”
Xie Ren was busy saying, “No need. It won’t take long, I’ll be back as soon as I go, you rest first!”
Flower City said, “You really don’t need me to go?”
Xie Ren said, “No need! You can’t follow me here, absolutely, absolutely not!”
Hua Cheng opened his eyes slightly and said, “Why?”
“…… “Xie Ren choked, for a moment, he turned around violently, holding Hua Cheng’s shoulders, looking straight at him, and solemnly said, “You, you have to practice writing.”
Hua Cheng looked at him innocently and blinked. Xie Ren said stiffly, “Today you must stay in the Guan all day to practice your calligraphy. I’m going to check it when I come back!”
Looking more and more innocent by the minute, Hanagi cocked her head, but obediently said, “Oh.”
Xie Ren easily coped with it, rolling and falling off the bed. Hua Cheng half leaned on the stage, squinted at his back as he fell away, smiled, rested his hands, and lay down again.
●
Xie Ren first went to the deserted mountains and wild hills, and after getting what he wanted, he went to the copper furnace.
Copper Furnace Mountain territory, a hut in the mangrove, Xie Ren as soon as he went in, he saw that the State Master had set up a table, pulling three empty shells of a man, and was playing cards with a grave expression. He immediately turned around and went out without saying a word, but as soon as the State Master saw him, his eyes lit up and he drank, “Stop!”
Xie Ren knew that only under one circumstance would the State Master ask him to stand still when he played cards, and sure enough, the next moment the State Master lifted the table and said, ”No more playing, I have to go beforehand! The Crown Prince is back! What are you looking for me for?”
Xie Ren turned back, saw the three eastwardly collapsing empty shells of people on the ground, knew in his heart that the State Master must be about to lose, and said against his will, “It’s actually not a very big deal.”
The State Master, however, was busy saying, “No, no, I see that you look serious, it must be something big and unimaginable that has happened! The cards can be put aside, for the Master to help you first!”
“……”
But when Xie Ren explained his intention, the master of state changed his expression again. As the two of them sat on a simple bench, Xie Ren heard the Master of State counting down to him, “It’s really not that big of a deal. It’s just a birthdate, it’s worth thinking about for so long, and traveling all over the world to personally fetch that kind of thing!”
Xie Ren knew that he couldn’t explain to the others, explained that the others wouldn’t understand, rubbed his eyebrows red and said, “Anyway, I’ve already taken the raw materials, I just can’t remember how to build the kind of immortal music style long life locks that I matched when I was a child. Please also ask the State Master for some guidance, no need for you to do it, I can cast it myself.”
As if he still had a hard time getting even, the State Master said, “You don’t even need to prepare any birthday gifts. You’ve sent yourself to the door, what other gifts does he want??”
“……”
Does this mean to say, “You yourself are the best gift”? Xie Ren couldn’t stand this kind of argument, not even when he thought about it himself, and slapped his forehead, thinking, “I’m not that self-absorbed.”
The State Master saw him shaking his head repeatedly, resisting from the bottom of his heart, and said, ”You are also so unproductive. You, the only Magus who has ascended three times in Heaven and Earth! Flower-crowned Martial God! Prince of Immortal Bliss! At seventeen years old, you dared to say in front of the world that you want to save the living world! Eighteen years old ……”
Xie Ren immediately said, “State Master! Stop! State Master! Don’t say it! Don’t say it!”
What is there to be proud of in this black history!
The State Master looked at him with a complicated expression, as if he hated him, and said, “Your Highness the Crown Prince, you really don’t need to put yourself so low.”
Xie Ren said, “It’s not that I’m putting myself down, it’s just ……”
It’s just that, in the face of the person you love, it’s natural to want to give each other the best in the world. However, it is inevitable to feel that you are not good enough.
The State Master looked at him like this, sighed, caged his sleeves with both hands, pondered for a while, and said, “Long life locks, right, you wait, I’ll think about it. The era is too long ago, and I can’t say I remember all the craftsmanship and the opening ceremony.”
Xie Ren said, “It’s not a problem. If you can’t remember either, I’ll just build it from memory. I believe that a sincere heart is a good thing.”
In a moment, the State Master looked at him and said, “Do you want to ask him?”
“……”
He didn’t say his name, but Xie Ren knew who “he” was.
Jun Wu was suppressed deep in the ground in this copper furnace.
After a long silence, Xie Ren still shook her head.
●
After spending most of another day at Copper Furnace Mountain, Xie Ren returned to the Ghost Market.
At this time, there were only a few hours left before the official arrival of Flower City’s birthday. The ghosts discussed with Xie Ren, pretending that nothing was happening on the surface, but secretly they were all secretly setting up the ghost market. Xie Ren flashed into a small store, and in a short while, the ghosts all gathered around, eagerly and chaotically asking, “How is it? How?”
Xie Ren thought to himself that this was simply like being a thief and said, “How is your city lord? Did you find anything unusual?”
The group of ghosts said, “No no no. The City Lord has been in the Thousand Lanterns Guan all day today.”
Xie Ren was slightly surprised, “All day?”
“Yeah! The City Lord seems to be in a good mood today. Da …… Daoist Xie, have you prepared a birthday gift for the City Lord yet?”
Only then did Xie Ren feel relieved, stroking the long-lived silver lock in his sleeve that he had taken great pains to strike, smiling faintly, he said, “It’s ready.”
The group of ghosts were overjoyed, and they discussed the arrangement of tomorrow’s He Sheng before returning to the Thousand Lanterns Guan. Once inside, Hua Cheng was actually practicing writing.
Without his urging, Hua Cheng would actually take the initiative to practice writing, this was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience, it seemed that he was really in a good mood. Xie Ren saw that poor precious Eight Desolate Brush writing out such twisted and ugly words under his hand, inexplicably amused, shaking his head. Hearing Xie Ren come back, Hua Cheng put down that pen and finally stopped torturing it, smiling faintly, saying: ”Brother, you’re back? Just in time, come and take a look at my results today.”
Xie Ren guffawed and said, “Good.” Then he wanted to go forward. Who knows, at this exact moment, his expression froze, his feet lurched, and he frowned and settled down.
Hua Cheng immediately sensed that something was wrong, and in the next instant, the person was by Xie Ren’s side: “What’s wrong?”
Xie Ren’s complexion instantly returned to normal: “It’s fine.”
It wasn’t nothing; for a moment there, his heart ached minutely.
Hua Cheng did not allow him to be sloppy and walked up to hold his wrist, saying, “Where have you been? Injured again?”
Xie Ren said, “No.”
This is the truth, indeed there is no, these days although running around, but quite smooth, did not meet any danger. Hua Cheng pondered for a moment, did not find out anything, put down his hand. Xie Ren transported his own breath, also did not find anything, thinking that it is probably an illusion, laughed: “Maybe it is just a twisted tendon. Alright, let me see how your results today really are?”
Only then did Flower City spread a smile and took his hand, saying, “Come here.”
Before Xie Ren could respond, suddenly, his heart ached again.
This time it was by no means an illusion! He clearly felt that if the first time was like being stabbed by a needle, the second time, it was like being scratched by something’s sharp nails. If it wasn’t for the fact that Hua Cheng happened to turn his face away, I’m afraid that this time Xie Ren wouldn’t have been able to use “nothing” to get away with it.
But right now the timing was inappropriate, Xie Ren didn’t want to alarm Flower City for the time being. The two of them played in the Thousand Lanterns Guan for a while, and he casually found an excuse to go out and double-check himself again.
In the middle of the day, he lowered his hand and looked grave.
It turned out to be flawless, of course, or else Hua Cheng would have found out when he grabbed his hand just now.
Then why does it hurt for no reason?
Thinking about it for a moment, Xie Ren guessed that it was some kind of evil spirit that entered his body, or he was hit by some kind of strange poison, but he didn’t panic, at least he doesn’t have to now. After a while, it will be Hua Cheng’s birthday, if something happens at this time, Hua Cheng definitely does not have the heart to live this birthday, I’m afraid that he will have to be pressed to cure his injuries again.
Xie Ren was accustomed to enduring pain, and it wasn’t like he hadn’t experienced this kind of weirdness before, so he didn’t think it was a big deal, and decided to get through this day first, and then quietly solve it himself afterward.
In the evening, counting the time, Xie Ren returned to the Thousand Lanterns Temple. Flower city is still inside the bored and pretentious scribbling and drawing, creating waste paper, Xie Ren can not help but laugh, but the smile has not yet surged, and then a heartache, to rub the heart with the finger force is also not very useful, thought: “It seems that this thing still has a few powerful …… and then endure it. “
He took a light breath, walked out, and said in a warm voice, “Sanlang? There is one thing that I’m afraid I need a small favor from you.”
Hua Cheng put down his pen and said, “What favor?”
Xie Ren said, “Please close your eyes first.”
Hua Cheng raised an eyebrow and did not ask more questions, closing his eyes as instructed. Xie Ren took his hands and smiled, “Come with me.”
This could be the opposite of that night with Junshan, Hua Cheng smiled and said, “Good.”
Xie Ren took his hands and slowly walked to the door, saying, “Be careful of the threshold.”
Hua Cheng did not know how long he had been wandering in this Thousand Lanterns Guan, naturally he did not need to remind him where to go, but still waited for him to make a sound to remind him before lifting his boots. The silver chain on the boots jingled, and the two of them stepped out of the gate together, arriving on the long street.
After walking for a while, Xie Ren said, “Alright, open your eyes.”
Only then did Hua Cheng open his eyes as he was told. In an instant, that dark eye seemed like a bright light that had been ignited, brightening up all of a sudden.
Above the long street, lights and colorful, compared to the previous messy street, refreshing and tidy a lot, it seems that every household has sold cleaned up, tattered and torn beckets have been replaced with new, flying eaves and corners are also shiny and new.
The ghosts surrounded them at some point, but they didn’t even dare to make a sound. As soon as Hua Cheng opened his eyes, he started blowing and shouting in a chaotic manner, “Good birthday, Master!” There are also take advantage of the chaos blindly shouting what “a hundred years of good luck,” “early birth” of the, make a terrible mess!
Seeing this terrible effect, Xie Ren slapped her forehead. They had clearly trained for a long time before and were barely able to shout in unison, so how come they were still shouting in a disorganized manner now!
Hua Cheng’s face was expressionless, seemingly unperturbed in the slightest, and only raised an eyebrow, saying, “What are you doing? It’s noisy.”
The group of ghosts had already given up on the results of their training, and each of them had amazingly thick cheeks as they said, “Let’s just die! There’s no one here anyway!”
Hua Cheng snorted, and as soon as he turned around, he saw Xie Ren standing behind him, his hands hidden behind his back, and said, “Sanlang, I heard …… that today is your birthday?”
As if she had been waiting for a long time, Flower City clasped her arms, cocked her head at him, and said with a smile, “Uh-huh. Yes.”
Xie Ren lightly coughed a few times, suddenly jumped up, violently put the long life lock on his neck, said, “This …… is made in a hurry, I hope you don t mind!”
The long life lock was carved with the same pattern as his wrist guards, maple leaves, butterflies, fierce beasts, etc., exquisite to the extreme, and contained a powerful burst of spiritual power, at a glance, it was clear that it was not a mortal product. The group of ghosts were clamoring, “It’s perfect! It’s too good-looking! What kind of treasure is this!”
“Ah! Only the City Lord is worthy of such a treasure! Only this kind of treasure is worthy of the City Lord!”
They shouted pompously to the extreme, causing Xie Ren to cry and laugh, getting more and more nervous, not knowing whether to ask Hua Cheng how he felt. Hua Cheng also did not say a word, only his eyes were bright to the extreme, and a smile appeared on his lips.
A short while later, he picked up the silver lock and seemed to be about to open his mouth, but who knows, right at that moment, a sudden change occurred.
Xie Ren suddenly went weak in both knees and knelt towards the ground.
This was really sudden, and the group of ghosts that had been happily watching let out a gasp of surprise. Hua Cheng’s smile instantly disappeared, and he caught him with a quick eye, saying, “Brother? What’s wrong?”
Xie Ren’s face turned white, forced a smile and said, “No ……”
The words caught in his throat.
It’s going to be bad, again!
That inexplicable heartache came again, and this time, the pain was as sharp as ever, as if the heart had been blown open.
Xie Ren secretly screamed bad, I did not expect this pain to be so raging, but also more ruthless than once, on the side of the attack at this juncture!
He was still quite calm, but the excruciating pain continued, as if someone was wielding a mahogany wedge and nailing it into his heart hammer by hammer. Xie Ren was in so much pain that it was hard to breathe, his head could not even be lifted up, cold sweat beaded on his forehead. Hua Cheng’s face changed completely, “Your Highness?!”
He grabbed Xie Ren’s wrist, but still didn’t probe anything and said, “Your Highness! Where did you go yesterday?!”
There were also panicked calls in all directions. Xie Ren opened his mouth, yet, as if something was pinned to his throat, he couldn’t even speak.
Hua Cheng’s arm holding him was trembling. Looking at Hua Cheng’s usual handsome face that was always calm and relaxed at all times tinted with an anxious color that wanted to go wild, Xie Ren’s heart felt as if it had been hit by a heavy hammer, and he finally couldn’t support himself and fainted.
Before he lost consciousness, all he could think about was “I’m sorry.”
Today, it’s Hwaseong’s birthday.
●
I don’t know how long, Xie Ren woke up violently, before he could take a few breaths, staring blankly at the zenith above him, thinking in a daze, “This is …… the Thousand Lanterns View? How did I …… fall asleep?”
He was still slowly coming to his senses when suddenly a hand held him up and Hua Cheng’s voice was close at hand, “Your Highness?”
As soon as Xie Ren looked up, he saw Hua Cheng’s face, his brows burning with intent. He was stunned for a moment and was about to speak when another sharp pain came from his heart.
Now, he could be completely awake, immediately arching his body, his five fingers nearly pinched into the flesh of his chest, the force was so great that it was as if he wanted to dig out his heart alive. Seeing this, Hua Cheng immediately tackled his wrist and said, “Your Highness!”
If he hadn’t tackled quickly, I’m afraid Xie Ren would have left five bloody holes in his heart. At this time, a voice from the side said, “I don’t think it’s right, or you can let go of him first!”
Mu Qi was surprisingly here as well. Hua Cheng said, “If I let go, what if he injures himself?!”
Feng Xin’s voice then sounded, “I’ll help you hold him down! If we don’t figure out what’s going on quickly, he won’t be able to stop the pain!”
Xie Ren arched his body and felt his other hand tackle his wrist. Hearing this, Hua Cheng’s movements froze for a moment, and he indeed let go of him.
Strangely enough, as soon as he let go of Xie Ren, the pain really dissipated quite a bit, and Xie Ren was at least able to move, and as soon as he rolled over, he realized that Feng Xin and Mu情 were standing right next to the couch, probably called to inquire about the situation. And Hua Cheng stood not far away, staring at him with unblinking eyes.
At this look, Xie Ren’s pain that had easily faded a bit came back with a vengeance. Seeing his face change again, Mu Qi said to Hua Cheng, “Stand away! He seems to be in pain the moment he gets close to you the moment he sees you!”
When Hua Cheng heard this, his figure stiffened, his expression was extremely frightening and unspeakable, but he still immediately dodged and withdrew to the outside of the house. As soon as he disappeared from Xie Ren’s line of sight, the severe pain in Xie Ren’s heart indeed also came to an abrupt end. The pain came and went, Xie Ren was nearly driven mad, gasped for breath, and said with difficulty, “What the …… hell …… is going on here?”
Still firmly holding him down with Feng Xin to prevent him from moving around to see Flower City, Mu Yi said, ”What’s going on? That has to be asked of you! What’s going on with you? Must have messed with something!”
Xie Ren said, “…… If I mess with something, can I not know it myself?”
Not to mention that Flower City was also checked. Muoi said, “Then have you gone to any strange places in the past few days?”
Xie Ren said, “The only places I’ve been to in the past few days are Copper Furnace Mountain, and the …… State Master’s Tomb.”
Mu Qi frowned, “What? The State Master’s Tomb? What State Master’s Tomb?”
Hua Cheng stood outside the house, but had already understood and said, “Fang Xin Guo Shi’s tomb?”
Xie Ren said, “Sanlang, you’d better come in ……”
Hua Cheng’s deep voice came from outside: “It’s fine for brother to recuperate here, I’ll go take a look.”
Xie Ren said, “I’ll go too!” However, as soon as he got up, he immediately lay down in pain again. There was no more sound after Hua Cheng finished his sentence, so he thought that he had already left. Xie Ren tried to barely get up again, and Mu Yi said, “I think you’d better stop moving around, you can’t even walk!”
Xie Ren was pressed down by two people with four hands, still struggling, and said, “It’s not like it hasn’t hurt before, so I’ll get used to it when it hurts.” He couldn’t just stop seeing Hua Cheng because it would hurt.
Muoi, however, said, “You’re willing to be in pain, but that Sanlang of yours isn’t.”
Xie Ren was stunned, thinking of what kind of look Hua Cheng had before he fainted from the pain, and then thinking of what kind of look Hua Cheng had when he realized that he was in pain as soon as he got close to him, his breathing stagnated, his heart violently tore at his heart, and his face turned pale. Feng Xin and Mu Yi were both staring at him, Feng Xin was stunned and said, “Isn’t the Blood Rain Scout gone? Why is he still in pain?”
For her part, Muoi was very perceptive and said, “Did you just have him on your mind?”
Xie Ren gritted his teeth and endured for a while before reluctantly saying, “How …… can …… you even think about it?”
Mu Yi said, “Don’t think about it. This seizure of yours seems to get worse and worse, and the more you think about it, the more you suffer. I’ll pour a glass of water for you to drink.”
Xie Ren didn’t even have the strength to shake his head and say forget it, Mu Yi got up and went to pour water while he closed his eyes, barely calming his mind. But the calmer he was, the more worried he was. I don’t know what kind of evil thing is looking for him, the two of them have not been able to find out the clues, Hua Cheng went alone, he really can’t rest assured. At this time, Mu Qing handed over the tealight. The tealight is snow-white and elegant, thinking that Hua Cheng also used it the other night, Xie Ren was bloodless for a while, lying flat and speechless. Mu love one look to know his heart and fly who went there, the hand of the tea can not be handed out, black face said: “How do you want to think of everything he thought? Do not want to die?!”
Xie Ren said, “Where is this something I can control?”
If you could say you don’t want to be alone, you wouldn’t have many of the troubles and grievances of the world.
Mu Qi said, “I think it’s better to just knock him out, so that he won’t be able to control his brain.”
However, as Xie Ren’s former attendant, Feng Xin would never hit Xie Ren, and of course, would not allow others to hit Xie Ren in front of him, and immediately said, “No way! I think it’s better for you to talk to him more and divert his attention, so that he won’t keep thinking about the Blood Rain Scout.”
Mu Yi said, “What can I say to him? What can I say to him that he can’t think of Blood Rain Tanager? It’s better to knock out dry!”
Feng Xin said, “Anyway, we can’t fight! In this way, idiom solitaire he won’t have the heart to think of something else, right? I’m sure he won’t have time. I’ll go first, Shoubi Nanshan!”
He is deeply abhorrent to this game, barely beginning, his expression is gnashing his teeth. Mu love only more deeply abhorrent than him, but still ten thousand reluctant to pick up, “…… mountain poor water evil.”
Xie Ren is also really no way out, breathless to pick up, “…… evil purple snatch Zhu ……”
As soon as the words left his mouth, he curled up again. Muoi said incredulously, “How can you even think of him here? It’s not even halfway relevant!”
Xie Ren thought: How is it not relevant? Zhu, Zhu color, Zhu Yi, red clothes. Thinking of red clothes, how could he not think of Flower City?
After such torture, he couldn’t hold back any longer, so he exerted his strength to break away the two people who were holding him down, and rolled down from the couch with a “thud”. Even though Feng Xin and Mu Yi had anticipated that he would be extremely explosive, and had secretly left a backbone, they were not able to hold him down. When they saw him break free, they hurriedly went to restrain him, but they were both slapped to the ground by him. Mu Qi looked up, just in time to see him seize the door and flee, said, “Where are you going? Don’t run around!”
Xie Ren, however, was already nearing his limit, fished out two luscious dice in his sleeve, threw them out in a bone jar, and stumbled and flung himself into a door.
Hua Cheng had said that if Xie Ren wanted to see him, no matter what points were thrown, he would be able to see him, and with this pounce, Xie Ren didn’t know where the dice had taken him, but with this fall, he had indeed fallen into an embrace. Hua Cheng’s slightly dismayed voice sounded above his head, “Your Highness!”
Xie Ren hurriedly backhanded him, afraid that he would disappear again, said, “Sanlang! Don’t you go alone, I …… am with you ……”
Hua Cheng seemed to want to hug him immediately as well, but his arms froze in mid-air, barely restraining himself as he said in a deep voice, “Your Highness, go back quickly, you’re going to be in a lot of pain.”
No one in the three realms was not scared of the absolute ghost king blood rain scout, but at this time, it was like he didn’t know what to do with him. Holding is not good, pushing is not good. It hurts to hold and it hurts even more to push. Xie Ren gritted her teeth and hugged him even tighter, saying in a trembling voice, “If it hurts, it hurts!!!”
Hua Cheng said, “Your Highness!”
Instead of sitting somewhere else thinking about Hanagi and dying of pain, he should hold Hanagi tightly and be killed by the pain. The more it hurt the tighter one would hold him. Xie Ren’s head was covered with fine beads of sweat, and he said intermittently, ”You wait for me for a bit, just a bit, I’ll be fine in a minute, I’ll get used to it soon. I’m very capable of enduring pain. With you by my side, I can still endure the pain. If you go away, then it will really …… hurt so much that I can’t bear it ……”
Hearing these sentences, Hua Cheng’s entire body was stunned. Only after a long time did he whisper, “Your Highness ah ……”
This sound seems to sigh like pain, seems to be more tormented than Xie Ren.
Xie Ren took the initiative to hug him hard, waiting for the unbearable pain to pass. As he was trying to calm his breathing, a voice suddenly came from behind, “Is this made from your mask after melting it?”
In his dizziness, Xie Ren realized that the place they were in was a desolate and gloomy cemetery, the very tomb of the State Master that he had visited only the day before. And behind them actually stood a person, tall and straight, is Lang Qianqiu.
He was already half delirious when he came over, so naturally he didn’t notice the third person. At this time, he couldn’t care less about being ashamed. At this time, Feng Xin and Mu Qing also came after him. Mu Ai was slapped by him and fell to the ground, so angry that the veins on his forehead seemed like they would never go away, drinking: ”What are you running blindly for! Two people with four hands can’t hold you down! –What the hell is this place? It’s like a grave!”
Feng Xin was also looking around and said, “This is the grave, right? It’s still a grave that’s been plowed over. This is the Fang Xin Kingdom Master’s tomb? Why is His Highness Tai Hua there too?”
Lang Qianqiu’s face was not very good, said, “I heard that the State Master’s Tomb had a strange movement the day before yesterday, like it had been patronized by | tomb thieves, I came to take a look.”
He came to take a look and ended up bumping into Hua Cheng and Xie Ren just in time. He didn’t know what he was thinking, not in the mood for more greetings and explanations, stared at Xie Ren and asked again, “Is that the long-life lock you built with that silver mask? Did you come back the day before yesterday and remove that mask?”
After a moment of hesitation, Xie Ren nodded.
In the past, he served as a national master in Yongan Kingdom, and his face was always covered with a silver mask. The mask itself silver rare, is half a catty silver demon forged, in addition to cover the face, the real effect is to rebound spells, defense and life protection. After the “death” of Master Fang Xin, the mask was put into the coffin as a burial object.
Gift giving, of course, is to send their own will also be very precious things. Xie Ren racked his brain and finally remembered that he had been given such a treasure, which was very useful and had helped him several times. He couldn’t get enough of that mask, only he didn’t take it with him when he climbed out of the coffin, so he rushed to Fang Xin Guo Shi’s tomb in the night, plowed his own grave, dug it out, and then melted it down into silver water and re-refined it into a long-life body lock.
The crowd was all looking weird. After all, Fangxin Guoji’s tomb has never been worshipped by anyone, the grass has grown a few feet high, and Xie Ren came back and didn’t sweep it for himself. Not sweeping the tomb is also even if, but also plowed his own grave …… is also no one can do this kind of thing!
After a moment of awkward silence, Xie Ren looked at Lang Qianqiu with an odd expression and explained, “That mask was not taken from your family, that one was refined by a silver demon I used to take in myself ……”
If it is something of the Yongan royal family, he would never want to use it as raw material to make a birthday gift to Huacheng. He also did not know that Lang Qianqiu is still paying attention to the tomb of the State Master, he thought that Lang Qianqiu buried him in the first place and did not care about it, or at least will fill back the soil that was plowed out, and would not have alarmed Lang Qianqiu to come to check out.
Lang Qianqiu froze, then said angrily, “It’s not like I’m bothering you about this!”
Hua Cheng glanced at him with a slightly chilly gaze, and Lang Qianqiu looked aghast. And as Xie Ren looked at the silver lock, he suddenly frowned as if he had remembered something.
His eyes met with Lang Qianqiu and realized that he was also looking at him in general. Naturally, Hua Cheng did not miss it and said, “The problem is with this long life lock? Your Highness, do you know what it is?”
Xie Ren did indeed have a clue and guessed what was going on, but he didn’t know how to speak. Lang Qianqiu, however, spoke on his behalf with a glazed expression.
He said, “It’s himself.”
Hua Cheng said in a cold voice, “What do you mean?”
Xie Ren was busy saying, “Qianqiu!”
Lang Qianqiu glanced at him, but continued, saying, “I was the one who brought him here after the Gilt Banquet.”
Xie Ren said, “Don’t say it.”
Lang Qianqiu glanced at him and closed his mouth, probably not knowing what to say next. But if he didn’t say it, the others could pick up on it as well.
After the Gilded Banquet, Prince Lang Qianqiu of Yongan captured the master of Fangxin, in order to take revenge, will be nailed to death in the coffin, sealed coffin in the wilderness, do not allow anyone to pay homage to the memorial. Of course, originally there is no one will worship memorial is.
At that time, after being pierced through the heart by a long mahogany nail, the blood that flowed out of Xie Ren’s heart stained the silver mask that had been used as a burial object. The Silver Demon’s demonic qi preserved that blood, causing it to detach from Xie Ren’s body and remain undead.
And the day before yesterday, Xie Ren returned to patronize him, digging up his own grave and taking that silver demon mask to cast the long-life lock. The blood on that mask was awakened by him and took the opportunity to return to his body.
No wonder Flower City and he himself had repeatedly probed, but had not detected any abnormalities. It was only because the thing that was causing the problem was originally something in his body, his own blood, so of course no abnormalities could be detected!
Hua Cheng moved slightly, Xie Ren couldn’t see his expression and was busy pressing him down, “Sanlang!”
Lang Qianqiu killed him originally for revenge, and the old lord of Yongan did die in his hands. He was nailed in the coffin with a few nails, so it was payback for payback for payback. Xie Ren gasped for a few breaths, another sharp pain in his heart, couldn’t help but moan out, Hua Cheng’s eyebrows were colored with burning color again, said, “Your Highness?”
Lang Qianqiu hesitated for a moment, saw that Xie Ren s face was white as paper, and said, “Do I …… want me to help?”
Xie Ren knew what he would think given his nature, and busily said, “It’s fine, it’s fine, Qianqiu, there’s no need for you to help. It’s none of your business, it’s not your problem. It was my own carelessness. You can leave it alone.”
Mu Qi also felt that doubling up as the sufferer and murderer Lang Qianqiu was really awkward on this occasion and said, “Not bad, Your Highness Tai Hua you don’t need to mind him, go back.”
After a moment of silence, Lang Qianqiu said, “Good.”
But even though he said yes, he still didn’t leave. The crowd couldn’t care less because Xie Ren was rolling around in pain again. Paradoxically, he was rolling around in pain but still held onto Flower City, just refusing to let go. Feng Xin said, ”Let’s get this over with first! …… Your Highness? What’s wrong with you?”
Xie Ren was still struggling hard, but after a clear sound, he suddenly calmed down and lay in Hua Cheng’s arms in a cold sweat, not moving.
Hua Cheng hugged him back with force and whispered, “Your Highness, it’s okay. It doesn’t hurt anymore.”
It was only then that the crowd realized that he was holding a broken handful of sparkling silver powder in his hand. And the long-life lock that he had cherished in his heart had disappeared.
As long as that long life lock was destroyed, Xie Ren’s strand of heart tip blood that was tainted with demonic qi by it would naturally slowly calm down. Thus, he took hold of that long-life lock, and with a gentle grip, it shattered.
Xie Ren’s breathing gradually stabilized, and on one side of his head, he saw the stars of silver flowing out from between Hua Cheng’s fingers, and then met Hua Cheng’s gaze. For some reason, there was another slight pang of heartache.
He murmured, “Well …… it doesn’t hurt anymore.”
●
Having finally lifted the spell, Xie Ren bid farewell to Feng Xin, Mu Xiang, Lang Qianqiu and the others, and together with Hua Cheng, slowly walked back in the direction of the Ghost Market.
The two of them were side by side, and Xie Ren’s face was hot the whole way.
It’s all the fault of Fengxin and Muyi.
Before the party parted ways, Feng Xin wiped his sweat and still couldn’t help but ask: ”So why on earth is His Highness like this as soon as he sees the Blood Rain Scout? What’s wrong with his heart’s blood? Is he determined not to let him have a good time?”
Xie Ren himself knew what was going on, and once he heard him ask, he busied himself by saying, “Let’s not delve into this!”
Feng Xin was puzzled, “Why don’t we go deeper? Otherwise what if it happens again next time? There’s always a need to find out.”
Mu Qi hummed, ”You can’t even figure this out? That blood flowed out of his body for too many years, after going back to not adapt, definitely want to make a fuss. If his heart is like still water, ancient wells would be fine ……”
However, if his heart is restless and his heart moves, the blood will stir endlessly, calling him to be in pain and relive the pain of the mahogany piercing through his heart once more.
Xie Ren didn’t even dare to look at what Hua Cheng’s expression was at that time, he only felt that he was going to lose all his face in front of Hua Cheng in his life.
Doesn’t that mean that whenever he sees or thinks of Flower City, he just can’t help but be swept away, and that’s why he’s in so much pain that he’s rolling around!
Thinking of this, Xie Ren’s heart beat wildly again.
Fortunately, now, even if his heart was beating fast, it wouldn’t hurt.
Suddenly, Hua Cheng, who had been silent for a long time, said, “Your Highness.”
Xie Ren immediately responded, “What?”
Hua Cheng said, “You were in that tomb, for how long?”
Xie Ren was stunned and said, “I can’t remember.”
Anyway, it was a long, long time, too long to want to count. Pain, hunger, blood loss, hallucinations. At first, I didn’t move, then I couldn’t help regretting it, and frantically pounded on the coffin, trying to break out, but in the end, I let myself fall into endless darkness.
There is no pain like the pain of a hundred swords piercing the heart, as if one will never be born again. But it is a dull pain that goes on and on as if there is no end to it.
He sighed. Hua Cheng immediately said, “What’s wrong, Your Highness? Does it still hurt?”
Xie Ren shook his head. In the middle of the day, he said in a muffled voice, “Sanlang, I’m sorry.”
Flower City wondered, “Why are you saying sorry to me?”
Hesitating for a while, Xie Ren said, “Today is clearly your birthday, I wanted to give you a good time, but so tossed for a day, as much as thinking of ways to undo the spell.”
Originally, he had planned to hold back at least until the end of the birth, but he still couldn’t.
Xie Ren said, “Even the birthday gift given to you was destroyed because you had to help me break the spell.”
Moreover, it was still crushed by Hua Cheng’s own hands. Xie Ren thought about it from beginning to end, and felt that today this was simply not a matter of frustration to the extreme, and it was hard to imagine, what kind of mood Hua Cheng would be in.
Instead, Flower City softly said, “Your Highness.”
He paused and said, “I have received your birth gift.”
Xie Ren was stunned, “What?”
But don’t ever say anything like you are the best gift ever, that will shame him even more.
Hua Cheng gazed at him and smiled slightly, saying, “Your Highness said that even if it hurts, you still want to come and see me. Even if it hurts like that, you don’t want to leave.”
“……”
Flower City whispered, “I’m glad.”
Thinking of what a miserable look he had when he grabbed Hua Cheng and said this, Xie Ren coughed lightly and straight away wanted to pretend to cover his face naturally. Instead, Hua Cheng suddenly pulled him in and swept him forcefully into his arms.
Xie Ren froze, pressing against his slightly vibrating chest, hearing his deep voice.
Flower City said, “Really. I’m glad.”
“……”
I’m happy too. Xie Ren Xin said.
In a hundred long years, even if it hurt, Flower City never thought of giving up on him.
It was Xie Ren who was happiest when she realized this.
The two of them hugged each other tightly, and Hanagi said, “It’s just that, as happy as I am, I never want you to endure that kind of pain again.”
●
The two returned to the ghost market, the group of ghosts anxious for a day, see the two returned safely, immediately from the chicken flying dogs jumping soldiers in chaos to boiling celebration. As usual, Hua Cheng did not bother to say a word, and Xie Ren together into the Thousand Lanterns. But the two of them went in but found that there are a lot more things in the view.
Flower City said, “Who let it in?”
Xie Ren picked them up, checked them one by one, and said: ”It seems to be gift boxes? This one is from Lord Yu Shi, isn’t it, what a fresh dish …… This one is from Qing Xuan? …… Well this must be General Pei ……”
He counted through them, and the more he counted, the happier he became, and said with a smile, “Sanlang! Congratulations, this is a birthday gift from all of you to His Excellency the Demon King.”
He was obsessed in those days, going to heaven and earth to ask people what to give as a birthday gift, although he didn’t say who he was going to give, but probably there was no one who couldn’t guess who he was going to give it to.
Hua Cheng, however, had no interest in these and said, “Brother, don’t look at them, throw them all out later. It takes up space.”
Look at him is really going to send someone to throw, Xie Ren busy said: “that or do not throw, at least is also everyone’s intention well …… wait, why this also have, who sends it??” He actually also saw mixed in a bunch of serious gifts in the fascination | love | medicine and get | son | pill, crying and laughing, hot potatoes generally thrown to the side. Hua Cheng, however, seemed to be a bit interested in these and was ready to pick them up and look at them, “Hm? What is it?”
Xie Ren hurriedly stopped him, “It’s not something good! Don’t look!”
●
In the end, Xie Ren agonized over it and still gave Hua Cheng the belt that he had initially made with his own hands to use in place of the long-life lock.
Hua Cheng watched and laughed so hard that he almost couldn’t breathe – although ghosts didn’t need to breathe in the first place. Anyway, wrapped his arms around him and kissed him for a while, praising him all the time, so much so that Xie Ren was so ashamed that he pretended to be dead and lay on the bed.
And more let Xie Ren want to play dead is, the next morning, Hua Cheng really wear that thing, look as usual ready to go out. Xie Ren looked, almost did not pass out, immediately rolled off the couch and pounced on the pleading half a day, Huacheng only very reluctantly agreed to him to reverse the use of the side without embroidered patterns to show the public. Only then did Xie Ren avoid the fate of having his craft publicly humiliated.
As for, because that day in Flower City the battle was too big, making a big fuss, the heavens and the earth all knew that Xie Ren had fainted on the day of his birth, causing the ins and outs to be clear, the heavens and the earth all knew that Xie Ren had been charmed by the Blood Rain Scout to the point that he had been bewitched to the point of death and living to the fullest, and this was an afterthought!
