Dust and Ember Song

Chapter 6

The moon is full in the west building, the brilliance is flowing, and the world is full of candles and stars.The hustle and bustle of the night market, the bustling Baishi, Zhijin and Changdi ate the delicacies that came to Baoju just now, and drank a pot of wine called Baixuehongmei that Changdi had kept there for several years. He said it was brewed by himself. Although the taste is not comparable to Tianting Yulu, it is fresh and pure.

This tiger, Changdi, likes to have fun in the world and do some mundane things, but this kind of him makes Zhijin feel sincere.

Zhijin seemed to know nothing, chattering endlessly, looking at this stall, and walking around that merchant, he looked like he had never seen the world.

He was silently by her side, not talking much, not interesting.

She went to a stall selling a curious little thing.

The charming female owner held it and turned her wrist, and the little thing would ding-dong-ding-dong, it was really cute and fun.

"Madam is so beautiful, your child must be very beautiful." She put the little thing in Zhijin's hand and taught her how to play with it.

Changdi tugged on her sleeve beside her, she turned her head and saw his cheeks were a little red under the light, and asked quickly, "What's wrong?"

"Oh, I didn't see your husband-in-law just now. He really is Mr. Pian Pianjia. He is a perfect match with you, madam!"

There was a golden light in her eyes, and she laughed.

Zhijin put down the little thing in embarrassment, "You are really joking, he is not my husband-in-law."

After saying that sentence angrily, Zhijin hurriedly walked away, not knowing if he was following behind her.

"You don't know what is in your hand just now?" His expression is intriguing.

She was a little confused, what could it be, isn't it just a cute little thing that can make noise.

"Is that little thing weird?"

He stood still in front of Zhijin, and said quietly, "That thing is called a rattle, and it is for newborns to play with. Only married and pregnant women would like it, do you understand?"

She pretended not to hear, quickly passed him and walked forward.

It's so embarrassing, why do I always lose face in front of him.

Not far ahead, there were a lot of people gathered together, she liked to watch the excitement so much, so she rushed over in three steps at a time.

It looked like an official was carrying people, but the chariot was broken on the way, and the flowers were so tall that no one could carry them, so they had to wait for someone to get the usable ones.

Zhijin asked the onlookers, what happened to Huazi?The man said that the county magistrate heard that Huazi had caught wind and cold outside the city and had a high fever for several days, so he ordered someone to carry him to the county government office and ask the doctor to treat him.

That Huazi was lying on the ground stiffly, the night was heavy with dew, she was afraid that her condition would worsen again, she looked around and saw an inn, she wanted to run over and buy a quilt to cover Huazi.

Changdi seemed to have read her mind, he had already conjured a cloak with magic, and handed it to her.

She was very surprised, said thank you, then squeezed through the crowd, and carefully covered the filthy Hanako with the cloak.

"Who are you? Official affairs, don't get close, go away!" A yamen servant stepped forward to hold Zhijin.

Zhijin got up, and seeing that she was a beautiful girl, he was a little shy, with dull eyes.

"Thank you for your kindness, miss, and please don't disturb the official's affairs." He clasped his fists and nodded slightly, full of respect, he should be the leader of the yamen servant.

She nodded and retreated into the crowd. Everyone around her looked at her, and she was very embarrassed.

At some point, Changdi was already beside her, and said softly, "It's nothing, don't be afraid."

The yamen servant brought a new chariot, hurriedly carried Huazi away, and the crowd of onlookers dispersed.

The next day, Zhijin woke up and saw Changdi watching the flowers raised by Pinger in the corridor.

Ju'er didn't return last night, because the business in Duxianlou was so good, she stayed in the building, as it did before.Out of courtesy, she said polite words to Changdi who stayed here last night, "Did you sleep well?"

"Shang Ke." He still looked at the flowers.

Zhijin had always wanted to ask him a question, but because he was not familiar with him at the beginning, he was not embarrassed to ask him.

"Jing'er is also a demon, right?"

He didn't make any waves, as if he knew she would ask this question a long time ago.

"She's my little devil."

Ah, it turns out that Ping'er is a ghost, a ghost with exquisite beauty and fairy spirit.

"From now on, you don't come to this garden." He said in a commanding tone.

"I'm just...for your own good."

Before Zhijin asked why, he explained.

"it is good."

It has been a long time since Zhijin came to Shengcheng, and she still couldn't find the slightest sign of Lord Xing. She had nothing to do, so she had to sit on the highest eaves in the city again, thinking of a way, her eyes were itchy, she knew that she still didn't have that thing.

She took off the wooden bracelet on her wrist, pulled it in her hand, looked at the sky, and muttered to herself, Zu Yun, why did I come here according to the scroll you drew, but I still couldn’t find my Xingjun, if you In front of me at this moment, I will definitely give you a good meal.

Continuous rain drops on the eaves, and the bright sky changes in an instant.

The rain in this world is controlled by the god of water in the heaven, Yangyi. I heard that Yangyi used to live in Fuchun Mountain, which is full of nanmu, and he was also a ruthless character.

Zu Yun said that there are many more stories in heaven than in the world.

It was a coincidence that Zhijin landed on the ground with a spell, and even arrived at the county government office.She wanted to take a look at what happened to Hanako last night.

Inadvertently, she heard someone say something she cared about in the faint sound of rain. She shivered and listened to the words of the two yamen servants very carefully.

"Oh, really, is there such a supernatural power?" There was fear in this tone.

"Why should I lie to you, let me tell you, there are many spirit women in my hometown, and many rich people have paid ingots to pay their respects." A slightly immature voice was eager to explain.

"I just said why there are so many ghost stories in your mouth, that's why."

"If there are more spirit women, you will hear more stories. Most of them are true."

"If this Huazi is really what you said, will we be enchanted by arresting him?" The man said cautiously.

"I don't know either. I only know that people with totems are people who have been cursed and cannot be touched by mortals."

Zhijin couldn't listen anymore, so he entered the room with magic tricks, and saw that the room was very deserted and empty, with a few simple wooden couches, one of which was covered with a thin quilt, and a man with curly hair was sleeping on it, with his body covered casually. A black cloak, she remembered that Chang Di conjured it up.

She approached him, her eyes were sore, she was very uncomfortable, and the fire was dancing on her forehead.

He lay quietly, as if in a deep sleep, his lips were white, his body was cold, and he was thinner than when he was in heaven.

"Xing Jun." She didn't know what tone she used to call him.

She just looked at him silently, suddenly, her chest was extremely hot, and she knew it was the thing growing, and the pain made her sweat profusely.

After waking up, she saw Changdi next to the bed, so she hurriedly shrank to the corner of the bed to see that her clothes were intact.

"You didn't do anything shameless, did you?"

He got up helplessly, "I don't know what's going on in your mind all day long."

"What did you bring me here for? And, how did you know I was there?" she questioned him.

"It's just a coincidence. I conjured up the cloak last night. You touched it, and I sensed it."

"What a coincidence." She understood Changdi's trick of using the cloak to follow after he had seen that Hanako was Xingjun.

"Kongchen is now a mortal, his fate has his own conclusions, you are just a little demon, you must not break the precepts of mortals."

How could she obey, now it is not easy to find Lord Xing, if he abandons him again, how miserable he will be.Zhijin wanted to use spells to get back there, but Changdi grabbed her, pushed her to sit beside the bed, "Listen to me, is it difficult?"

She was so angry, why should she listen to you? It's ridiculous.But his mana was above her, she couldn't break free, so she had to pretend to be wronged, and nodded in agreement.

Of course Changdi can see Zhijin's thoughts, but he also knows that it is impossible to keep her trapped.

"You can stay by his side, but you must not change his fate."

She returned to his side, but he still fell asleep like that. At this moment, he is not the high-spirited, majestic, handsome and bright Huode Xingjun, but a Hanako who has suffered a lot in the world and has no relatives or reasons.

How much like the self who lived in the nameless valley back then, lonely, boring, unkempt, and couldn't even speak clearly.

But she often wondered, who took her name?And how can he speak?She fantasizes that she is not an orphan, but has relatives, but she is not good, or has done something bad, and is abandoned by others. She wants to erase all her memories and throw them far away. will return.

But there was a kind-hearted god who came to find him.

Yes, my Xingjun worked tirelessly, no matter how far away, he found me and took me to heaven.I've lived in that valley for so many years, and I've grown tired of it.I went to the sky and ate a lot of jade dishes, drank a lot of fine nectar and jade dew, and even ate the flat peaches of the Queen Mother.I have also seen the most beautiful galaxy, and the most affectionate glow is often seen.I am happy, I feel happy, I sleep in You Xingjun's house, looking back at my past, I feel something growing in my chest for the first time.

I gritted my teeth in pain, Xingjun hugged me, and said gently and relieved, don't be afraid... this is your heart growing slowly.

But I'm just afraid, I don't know why I grow a heart for no reason, I'm just a fire demon, how can I grow a heart, Xingjun explained that every monster that grows a heart is a fairy, just Can live in the sky for a long time.

When I heard this, I was very happy. I must grow my heart well, and I want to live with Xingjun in the heaven for a long time.
