Chapter 21 Old Chang'an, Tang Shike (2)

Prosperous Tang Dynasty, Chang'an.

The street dedicated to monsters is always very lively.

All kinds of monsters took human form and walked on the street swaggeringly.Those who have not practiced enough still have a pair of fluffy ears and long tails.

It's just that they don't dare to get close to the house at the end of the street when they become crazy again.The residence seemed to be separated by an invisible barrier, outside the barrier was a commotion, and inside the barrier was the silence where the sound of melting snow could be heard.

Long had caught a few little monsters running around in the street to inquire about the situation before, and the little monsters shook their ears timidly under his claws.

"There are gods living there!"

"Immortals like to be quiet, so don't disturb them!"

The monster cub with fluffy ears was a little afraid of the dragon, but when he thought of the big monster at home, he tried his best to puff up his chest, and told the dragon like a little adult, "This street was built by the gods and the demon master for us." Lah, don't make the gods angry!"

Long gave these little cubs a chestnut one by one on the head, and as soon as he let go, the little cubs ran away screaming and screaming.

In the dark night, Long, who was striding towards the end of the street dragging a bunch of little monsters, remembered this scene and snorted.

In the days when he died, his little flower bud seemed to be... quite majestic?

……

At the end of the long street, in the mysterious house.

The candle that had been burning for most of the night was almost at the end, the flame flickered and made a slight crackling sound, which turned the snow-white paper a little yellow.

The thin white-clothed man stood in front of the desk blankly, a little dazed.He was very good-looking, with a handsome face and snow-white skin, like an exquisite porcelain doll, but his expression was extremely cold and indifferent. If you look closely at his eyes, you can even see a little confusion.

The back of the hand was stained with ink at some point, and Shen Qingzhuo rubbed it unconsciously, and the ink stain spread across the skin.

It always feels like he... forgot something.

After waking up that day and letting go of the little black fish that had opened its mind, it seems that any memory has flowed away with the gurgling stream.

The lively and cheerful fish shadow flashed through his mind, he suppressed it, turned his head slightly, and the sky lanterns all over the floor came into view... well, he didn't remember why he made so many sky lanterns.

Are you... missing someone...

Not impressed.

The cold moonlight came in from the window sill, Shen Qingzhuo bent down to pick up a lamp, walked to the window, and looked up at the night sky.In the dark and dark night sky, there is a crescent moon, twinkling stars, quiet and distant.

I've been here for a long time, maybe it's time to leave.

This thought turned half a circle in his mind, and before he could ponder it carefully, a hasty knock on the door interrupted his thoughts.Shen Qingzhuo regained consciousness suddenly, put the lamp on the window sill, and walked across the courtyard to open the door.

As soon as the door opened, a puff of foul air rushed in.Shen Qingzhuo frowned, and with a wave of his hand, several clusters of white light scattered the turbid air, and then he took a step back, watching the tall man in black step into the courtyard step by step, as if he didn't know how to be polite.

With another tug by the hand, the little monsters who were tied into a string with ropes and hung like sausages were dragged in, and fell unsteadily into the yard.

The little monsters kept whining and wailing, and some of them could no longer maintain their human form, turning into their own bodies and struggling on the ground. The stench and turbid air came out of them, and they were about to be submerged.

Shen Qingzhuo recognized this turbidity, the red fox demon master in the demon market once asked him to help expel it.

The little monsters were in danger, Shen Qingzhuo didn't care about the impoliteness of the uninvited guest for the time being, and lowered his head to disperse the turbidity for the little monsters.

He was born with a spiritual plant, with the purest spiritual power, so he was able to do this with ease, and within a short time, he dispelled the turbid energy from the bunch of little monsters.

The little monsters narrowly escaped death, some could not bear it and fainted, and some barely opened their eyes and howled weakly.

The aggressive man in black shouted "Send it back" without looking back, but his fiery eyes fell on Shen Qingzhuo.

The demon steward who came to meet them from the demon market hastily carried the little monsters away, and before leaving, he even closed the door intimately.

Without any interference, Long Jiang looked at the person in front of him carefully and carefully, and confirmed that the other party did not intend to recognize him. He suppressed his doubts, cupped his hands at Shen Qingzhuo, and made a nondescript bow: " It's urgent, sorry."

Although he was apologizing, Shen Qingzhuo didn't feel any apology in the tone on his face.

However, he has never been a person who likes to pursue.Since the other party has apologized, he doesn't want to quarrel.It's just that the other party's hot gaze stared at him a little uncomfortable.Shen Qingzhuo pursed her lips, and turned her body sideways, with the obvious intention of seeing off the guests: "It's okay."

He hasn't communicated with others for too long, and he can't even pronounce words.

The longan bead turned around, but he didn't force it to stay, but "accidentally" lifted his cuff when he turned around - a hideous and terrifying wound lay across his forearm, the black blood was half-frozen, and there was a trace of stale air Haunting around the wound, devouring his spiritual power greedily.

Shen Qingzhuo inadvertently lowered her eyes and saw the obvious untreated wound.For some reason, he felt as if his heart had been scalded, and subconsciously called out: "Wait, wait, your injury—"

His voice was clear and soft, and this sound was unconsciously hasty, like a small feather, lightly scratching the dragon's ear, so that he almost couldn't hide his smile.

But he quickly restrained his expression, and when he turned around, the smile on his face was just right forbearance and sigh: "It's okay..." He simply pulled off his sleeves, and put the wound in front of Shen Qingzhuo's eyes in 360 degrees without any dead ends. "Small injury."

He paused for a moment, his brows were slightly frowned, as if he was enduring pain, but his voice was still steady: "Evil things are rampant recently, you should be careful at home alone."

Shen Qingzhuo didn't know how to respond to this overly familiar tone, and of course Long didn't need him to respond.Beads of sweat dripped from his forehead, and when he was about to turn around, he took a "weak" step, and when he closed his eyes, he fell in the direction of Shen Qingzhuo.

Having been with Shen Qingzhuo for so long, he is too aware of how soft-hearted his little Huabu is, just as he was dizzy, Xiao Tiantian didn't hurry to hug him!

Then he took the opportunity to fill his chest with warm and fragrant nephrite, wouldn't he be happy!

The small abacus in Long's heart slapped loudly, and then reality slapped his face too.

——Seeing him falling down, Shen Qingzhuo was stunned for a moment, but subconsciously took a step back.

——With a plop, it was the sound of a man hitting the ground in its entirety.

Long, whose face ached from the fall, gasped in his heart - when he figured out what was going on with Shen Qingzhuo, sooner or later he would pull out that Mingche celestial master and his fat cat and beat him up!

What weird formations are you doing all day long!It made Shen Qingzhuo suddenly want to teleport over, not to mention, he still looked like he didn't remember him at all, it was probably caused by the formation - Long silently ground his teeth, inferior formation!Three no products!A stinking thing that destroys family harmony!

...the floor is so cold.

The dragon who fell to the ground and pretended to be dead lay on the cold ground for a long time, so long that he thought Shen Qingzhuo had gone away without a sound, and when he almost couldn't help but open his eyes, he felt a familiar warmth Brushing over the deliberately made wound on his arm.

The turbid air was dispelled, and the bruised wounds quickly healed under the action of the white light, and returned to their original state in a short time.

Ah, very good.Tian Tian is still his beloved Xiao Tiantian.

……

So from that night, there was an extra tenant in Shen Qingzhuo's house who couldn't be driven away.

At first, Shen Qingzhuo tolerated him staying in the next room for the sake of his "injury and weakness".But after a few days, the wound was healed and he was full of energy without any signs of weakness, so he wanted to ask someone to leave.

After staying alone for a long time, the excitement of being alone suddenly made him a little uneasy... Although he couldn't clearly grasp where the uneasiness came from.

However, whenever he reveals the meaning of "seeing off guests", Long will go out to work in a decent way and get injured... After he was transformed from a fish into a human, he borrowed the resources of the demon market to restore his spiritual power, and the reward was to replace the demon The market has the power to sell for a period of time.

At that time, Shen Qingzhuo's situation was unclear, and he couldn't leave here for a while, so Long agreed, and as a name in the demon market, he occasionally went to help fight evil things and save little monsters.

He is better at fighting and dispelling turbidity. He usually brings a bunch of little monsters who are lingering with turbidity to ask Shen Qingzhuo to help - tsk, it's the first time I think that red fox's suggestion is so sound.

Shen Qingzhuo, who seldom communicated with others, refused for some reason, and couldn't bear to see the little monsters die unexpectedly, so she often helped.

It's just that his attitude towards the dragon has always been alienated and indifferent. More often than not, he always likes to sit in the small pavilion in the backyard of the small building, staring at a clear pond with nothing in it in a daze.

Or if they have nothing to do in their free time, they are cutting bamboo branches and laying white paper to make Kongming lanterns—anyway, they just don’t pay much attention to dragons.

Long... Long felt very angry.

It was the first time he was treated so coldly by Shen Qingzhuo!

He pondered for a while, remembering the cooked bowl in Shen Qingzhuo's house, and went around to his house while Shen Qingzhuo was in a daze in the pavilion.The small pottery bowl was placed by the window, lazily basking in the sun.

Long stared at it for a while, then tapped the side of the bowl with his fingers.

The little pottery bowl was in the midst of a nap, so it was not careful to be woken up. It muttered in a bewildered way, "Which stupid bird came to peck me again", but it turned out that someone I hadn't seen for a long time was staring at it condescendingly. .

Small pottery bowl: "..."

Xiao Taowan immediately pretended to be stupid, and greeted casually: "Big Boss, good afternoon, hehehe."

Long was too lazy to talk to it, so he might not wait for Shen Qingzhuo to come over suddenly.He went straight to the point: "What's the matter with you, Boss Shen? Why don't you remember anything?"

The little pottery bowl let out an "oh".It had been dizzy for a long time after it was passed over, and finally regained consciousness, watching Shen Qingzhuo go to release the little black fish.

It was all the same as what he had experienced before.

But after Shen Qingzhuo released the little black fish and came back, it also felt that Shen Qingzhuo seemed to have changed.

"Boss lady. I think Boss Shen has become a little strange." Little Taowan whispered, "Before, he would go to see Master Mingche every day, and he would spend most of the day there, and he would stay alone in the study for a long time when he came back. ..."

It talked about Shen Qingzhuo's abnormality: "But Boss Shen hasn't gone there recently. Not only does he not go, but he also likes making Kongming lanterns more and more. Kongming Lantern was in a daze, looking very dazed, it was not the same as before..."

The little pottery bowl muttered for a long time, but got no response. It said "Crooked? Crooked? Are you still there, Mrs. Boss?" and looked at Yanlong quietly, only to find that he frowned, thinking: "Looking for Mingche? Why are you looking for Mingche? Is it possible that you have fallen in love with that Laoshizi Po Tianshi?"

Small pottery bowl: "..."

The author has something to say: make a bloody voice: amnesia.

Tian Tian: Now, I have completely forgotten, completely forgotten.
