The woman who let go of the drink was unexpectedly free and easy.
In the Ghost Kingdom's Divine Palace, melodious music rang out everywhere, and red lanterns were lit up all over the mountains and plains, celebrating the thousandth birthday of this City of Departed Souls.
In front of the City Lord's Mansion, in the middle of a huge bonfire, female ghosts wearing all kinds of dresses were like blooming flowers. Suddenly, a colorful ribbon fell from the sky on a high platform.
Chellona's Shinryū stepped on the ribbon and slid all the way down to the high platform, dancing gracefully.
The joyful sound continued.
The celebration would not stop, it would continue for three days and nights.
The Yang-Realm did not care about the affairs of the Netherworld, and similarly, the Netherworld did not care about the affairs of the Yang-Realm … Whether it was the Extraordinary Society or the secular world outside, this was the Ghost Kingdom's Divine Palace, a place for a group of ghosts who had no home or relatives to stay.
Boss Luo was like the many ghosts of the Ghost Kingdom, wandering in the light and joy, as if looking for something. Finally, he climbed up the small building at the beginning, there was some regret in his eyes, but also some relief.
"Sure enough … I can't find it."
The little yellow flower in his hand slowly rotated between his fingers. Fireflies floated from a distance, surrounding him, and chirping.
"What are you doing here alone?"
Chellona's Shinryū's voice.
Boss Luo turned around. At this time, Long Xiruo was wearing a white dress with a bright red tulle hanging on the outside, and was barefoot.
This was the dress she changed into when she paid tribute to Zhu Wu, and she had not taken it off.
There was no headgear, and there was no discovery, just a head of long hair casually draped over her shoulders. Her bare feet stepped on the spotless wooden floor of the small building, and there was a small wine pot in her hand.
It was the kind of wuxia movies, the kind where Lin Qingxia played the role of the Sect Master of the East, freely and heroically drinking wine in the great river.
"I don't belong here, just look," Boss Luo said softly.
Chellona's Shinryū turned to look at him. His hair was loose and his face was slightly flushed. Perhaps it was because of the wine in the pot. According to Xiao Shengmo, the wine was brewed using a recipe found in Granny Meng's former residence. According to legend, Granny Meng's residence was located in half of the underworld that Chellona's Shinryū brought back.
According to the recipe, it was called Departed Spirit Wine.
But City Master Xiao was a guy who liked to pretend to be a cultured person – just by looking at his name, it should be clear.
Therefore, the Ghost City's City Lord directly gave the replicated Departed Soul Wine a different name.
Sang Luo.
— — I wonder who has fallen in love with Sang Luo this year.
— — A drunkard loses his wine when he is not drunk, leaving others with no choice but to part.
This was probably the elegance he wanted.
It was really intoxicating.
The slightly tipsy Chellona Shinryū looked especially gorgeous. Under the fluorescent light, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that she looked like a fairy from the Immortal Palace.
"You seem to be looking for someone." Long Xiruo thought for a while and said, "You're not looking for me, but for someone else … Here, there's someone you know … Departed spirit? Old friend? Family member? "
Boss Luo suddenly said, "No matter why I'm here, for me, to be able to see Miss Long like this tonight is an unexpected surprise. It makes me feel that this trip is completely worth it."
"You're … saying this again." Chellona Shinryū turned her head.
She found that she was hopelessly in love with such words … even if she knew that it might be poison.
Sang Luo fiercely drank a few mouthfuls of wine. Chellona Shinryū rudely wiped her mouth with her sleeve and said loudly, "I don't want to talk about this with you tonight … I'm in a good mood, come drink with me!"
She directly threw the wine pot over.
Boss Luo easily held the flagon in his palm. He lowered his head and looked at it, but didn't move.
Chellona Shinryū instantly became very irritated and said angrily, "Don't drink it if you don't like it! Throw it away if you dare! "
"Of course not." Boss Luo slightly smiled and slowly moved the wine pot in his palm to his lips.
Chellona Shinryū slightly gulped, like the eve of a great battle, anxiously looking at the wine pot that was slowly moved to Luoqiu's lips.
Almost there! Almost there! Just a little bit more … Bang … Bang!
Almost there!
"Hahaha! Master Long, so you're here! "
At this moment, the Hundred Tribulations Taoist's hearty laughter sounded in the small building.
Chellona Shinryū was startled as if he was caught doing something bad. He subconsciously turned around and saw not only the Hundred Tribulations Taoist, but also Xiao Shengmo and a group of Taoist elders.
"Master Long, why are you here alone?" Xiao Shengmo cupped his hands and asked.
Alone?
Chellona Shinryū instantly reacted and fiercely turned around. On the stands of the small building, there was no trace of that person … only, only a few fireflies were floating casually.
"Just a little bit … just a little bit!" Chellona Shinryū instantly clenched his fist, his whole body slightly trembling.
"Master Long, what's wrong with you?" Xiao Shengmo couldn't help but ask hesitantly … He saw that Chellona Shinryū seemed to be a little strange.
At this time, a Daoist elder stroked his beard and said with a smile, "I think Lord Dragon Monarch is excited because of our arrangement today. It must be because the arrangement we made today has moved Lord Dragon Monarch too much … It's not bad, not bad. Lord Dragon Monarch racked his brains for Ghost City. We only did some insignificant things. Dragon Monarch doesn't have to be so excited."
"Yes …" Chellona Shinryū slowly turned around and put on a fake smile, "I'm so f * cking touched! Go to hell!!! "
Rumble —!!
They … the people of the Ghost Kingdom didn't know what happened.
However, the small building of the City Lord's Mansion suddenly collapsed. Then, thousands of golden lights instantly rushed into the sky, as brilliant as fireworks.
In the collapsed building, a half-dead old man kept mumbling, "Lord Dragon God is too excited, too excited …"
The celebration became more lively.
…
…
The little girl Xiao Xiaoxiao brought a cup of hangover tea and delivered it to Chellona Shinryū.
At this time, Chellona Shinryū was impatiently looking out of the window … In the room, Xiao Shengmo and the others who had just survived were all silent.
Shinryū's secret … Oh, after the grand fireworks, they sat in the Ghost City's City Lord Mansion's meeting room.
"Xiaoxiao, go out and play." Xiao Shengmo told the little girl at this time.
She sighed in response and then left, humming a little tune.
"When did you adopt a daughter?" Chellona Shinryū suddenly asked, "I've never heard you mention it."
"It happened in the last 50 years. Xiaoxiao's mother died early, and she also died early. She wandered alone in the Ghost City, and I was moved by compassion. This child is similar to me. "
The True Dragon of the Divine Land stopped resting his chin on his hand. He picked up the hangover tea and slowly took a sip.
When Xiao Shengmo didn't speak, his whole face looked particularly gloomy. It was the kind of face that could easily jump out the word "villain" in one's mind.
But in fact, the City Lord of this Ghost City was very womanly. Not only did he like to pretend to be elegant, but he could also do needlework, farming and herding cows … This guy was actually very suitable for living.
Long Xiruo shook his head again. Then he thought of something and glared at Hundred Tribulations Taoist, "But, I really didn't expect that you, the Mount Tai of Taoism, would join hands with Xiao Shengmo to trick me … Well done, Hundred Tribulations Little Brat, you've really learned something."
Hundred Tribulations Taoist was originally immortal-like, but now there was a black circle under his left eye — but he still looked like an immortal.
He coughed dryly and said, "This matter is over, Lord Dragon King doesn't need to make fun of this old Taoist anymore … This was just a spur of the moment, City Lord Xiao and the others were just dragged along."
Chellona Shinryū sneered, making Hundred Tribulations Taoist break out in cold sweat.
— It shouldn't be like this?
— — She was clearly very happy during the celebration, having fun with the people of the Ghost Nation. Why did her mood change so abruptly and suddenly become irritable?
"Surprise? I'm afraid it's not a shock! " Long Xiruo snorted and said, "I really thought something happened to you. You failed to guard the Ghost Gate and came all the way here! Don't you know that tomorrow morning is the first day of the World Superhuman Summit? "
Hundred Tribulations Taoist and Xiao Shengmo looked at each other.
Hundred Tribulations Taoist said seriously, "In fact, before Dragon King arrived, we were indeed attacked … The traces of fighting and destruction in the main hall of the City Lord Mansion were not made up by us. They are real."
"Really?" Long Xiruo frowned subconsciously, "What happened?"
Xiao Shengmo said slowly, "For this year's Ghost Gate guard, Mister Hundred Tribulations and the others came earlier than usual. Perhaps it was because they wanted to rush to the Superhuman Summit tomorrow, so they wanted to come earlier to prepare. However, just as we finished preparing and were about to suppress the Ghost Gate, a group of people suddenly appeared and ambushed us. They almost made us fail this time … To be honest, the situation was very dangerous at that time, and Mister Hundred Tribulations was even slightly injured. "
"Who were they?" Chellona Shinryū asked directly.
"Their identities are unknown." Hundred Tribulations Taoist shook his head, "But one thing is certain, they all wore metal helmets, and were like death warriors. They were not afraid of death, and once they failed, they would instantly detonate themselves, leaving nothing behind … The only thing that is certain is that these ambushers were all warriors, and they were not weak."
Then, Hundred Tribulations Taoist waved his hand, and a white fog spread out on the table.
After the white fog dispersed, a metal mask with a different shape appeared on the table, "This was left behind by the ambushers after they exploded. What do you think, Master Dragon King?"
"Warriors?" Chellona Shinryū pondered, "Warriors who could even hurt Hundred Tribulations Kid?"
She looked at the tattered mask on the table, and had no clue at all.
"I didn't notice …" Hundred Tribulations Taoist smiled bitterly, and then said, "I think it's because I only cared about drinking tea and neglected practicing. You can't blame others."
Long Xiruo shook her head and said, "Most of the powerful warriors in the world have already joined the Administration. Other than that, there is only the Xuanyuan Palace. There are indeed some scattered warriors among the people, but they are the weakest ones, and it's difficult for them to deal with ordinary monsters and ghosts … Warriors who can threaten you, and a group of them at that, where did they come from? "
Everyone in the meeting room was silent. Obviously, they didn't know where to start.
"Where they came from is secondary. What's more important is that this group of mysterious warriors chose this special day when the Ghost Gate was opened to attack … The purpose behind this is really worrying." At this moment, a Daoist elder said with a solemn expression, "Fortunately, there weren't any flaws in the defense of the Ghost Gate this time. If the defense had failed, the evil ghosts and resentful spirits of the eighteen levels of hell would have rushed out, and they would have definitely caused chaos in the Divine Continent.
Long Xiruo nodded and said, "However, you were ambushed in the dark, and it was a dangerous time to guard the Ghost Gate, but you were able to protect everything, and there were no casualties … I still have to praise you. In short, you worked hard. "
"Actually, it's not all because of us." Castellan Xiao smiled bitterly at this time, "It was all because of one person that we were able to pass the Ghost Gate."
"Who?"
"Master Dragon King, do you remember the 70th generation of Tianxin of the Cloth Sect?" Xiao Shengmo said slowly.
"It's that old ghost!" Long Xiruo stared blankly for a moment, then came to a realization.
The Cloth Sect now only existed in name. Other than Mister Blind Qing Xiazi, who was the scapegoat of Mount Tai's disaster, there was only the 70th generation of Tianxin, who should have died long ago, but was secretly saved by Xiao Shengmo using the Ten Thousand Ghosts Pagoda — the real old ghost.
"The 70th generation of Mister Tianxin, although he lost his Heavenly Eyes and Heavenly Heart, his divination ability is still extraordinary." Xiao Shengmo smiled slowly, "Earlier, when Ghost City was about to welcome its 1000th day, this Castellan had a sudden impulse and entered the Ten Thousand Ghosts Pagoda to find Mister Tianxin and ask about the next millennium of Ghost City's future. Mister Tianxin made a divination and said that Ghost City would face a bloody disaster in the near future. This Castellan thought about it and was always on guard. Coincidentally, the day of the Ghost Gate's opening arrived, so I thought that if Ghost City was going to welcome a bloody disaster, it might be today, so I made a few more arrangements. Fortunately, although the sneak attack came suddenly, Ghost City is still safe and sound. "
"This old ghost doesn't have his Heavenly Heart and Heavenly Eyes, so how can he be so accurate?" Chellona's Shinryū frowned doubtfully.
"Mister Tianxin has deep attainments in geomancy divination. Even without the Cloth Sect's Heavenly Heart and Heavenly Eyes, he should be one of the best divination masters in Chellona … Lord Dragon Monarch, don't underestimate the path of divination."
"I'll enter the Ten Thousand Ghosts Pagoda." Chellona's Shinryū suddenly said.
Ghost City's Castellan was startled, and so were the Dao Sect's elders. Chellona's Shinryū had already turned into a stream of light and rushed into Castellan Xiao's sleeve.
The Ten Thousand Ghosts Pagoda was inside Xiao Shengmo's sleeve.
Xiao Shengmo pulled up his sleeve at this time, as if he didn't know whether to cry or be angry. "This … this?"
"Lord Dragon Monarch, this time, there must be a deep meaning." Hundred Tribulations Taoist calmly said while stroking his beard. "Everyone, let's wait for a while."
"That's true …" Xiao Shengmo nodded. After all, Chellona's Shinryū wouldn't be like this if it wasn't important … Perhaps, it was an important matter related to the whole Chellona.
Yes, it must be like this!
…
In a small bamboo forest in the Ten Thousand Ghosts Pagoda, there was the sound of a zither.
Chellona's Shinryū directly knocked away the bamboo leaves and came to a pavilion in the bamboo forest …
The 70th generation of the Cloth Sect's Heaven's Heart was playing the zither here.
"Lord Dragon Monarch, after the farewell in the Penglai Treasure House, how are you?" Mister Tianxin of the 70th generation stopped at this time and smiled slightly. "I don't know why Lord Dragon Monarch is looking for this old ghost?"
Chellona's Shinryū sized up the old man in the pavilion. "Aren't you very good at divination? Tell me why I am here? "
Tianxin of the 70th generation bitterly smiled. "Lord Dragon Monarch is Chellona's Shinryū … Telling you is telling the future of the whole Chellona. If I can't do it, I will die."
"Tsk! Trash! "Chellona's Shinryū instantly disdained.
Tianxin of the 70th generation suddenly changed the topic and said coldly. "But if it's just some small things to seek fortune and avoid misfortune, it's still okay … Of course, marriage and whatnot, it's okay."
"How do you know …"
Chellona's Shinryū was startled and stopped talking.
She had really rushed in on impulse, intending to ask … ask about marriage!
