second to none

Chapter 5

Death is cold, and after her death, her soul lingers on. She watched people collect her body, because she vomited blood when she died, and she watched her body being burned to ashes and blown everywhere by the wind. Both are.

This is the punishment that only those who have committed the most heinous crimes will suffer, and it is also the punishment of the Ji family.

With her pursuit and passion for the Ji family's unique skills, she was unable to cross the Naihe Bridge and wandered around the Ji family's old house every day.She still has a lot of things she wants to do, and she doesn't want to die yet.

She can only stay in the old house, just like this every day, floating on the chair she used to sit on, trying to draw out those whimsical ideas with a pen.

She doesn't know what result she will wait for, maybe someday a powerful person will come and take her in as a haunted ghost, or maybe she will finally be able to wait until the day when she crosses the Naihe Bridge for reincarnation, or even more likely, she will just float like this forever with regret With a sincere heart.

That was her last memory of the mortal world.

When Tan Yin woke up, it was raining heavily outside, she didn't close the window, and the ground was damp.

Now she is a mortal again, and only mortals can dream. Whether she wants to or not, those old memories that have already faded to yellow will still invade at midnight, as if to experience her frail life again in a dream.

Maybe she was subconsciously looking forward to dreaming of that person, but she could no longer see his voice and smile, so even if it was a dream, if she could relive it, it would be the ultimate joy.

The rain outside the window showed no signs of getting smaller. Tan Yin walked to the window and was about to close the window when she suddenly heard a series of sweet cries of birds of paradise outside. A resplendent and resplendent carriage was parked outside the window, and the light golden ancient characters rippling and undulating on the body like water waves, and the peaceful and elegant fragrance filled the nose—this was the style of the fox clan, and it was the first time she had seen it.

The curtain of the car was lifted by a hand wearing a black silk glove, revealing a face of passers-by with clear soup and little water.

He looked at her with bright eyes, very excited: "Xiao Ji! Are you awake? Do you want to hang out with me?"

Tan Yin originally wanted to refuse without even thinking about it. It is really rare that this person can make her hate him like this.But she had to go, she had to keep him by her side at all times.

She hesitated for a moment, half of Yuan Zhong's body had already come out of the car, twisted like a twist: "Sister Ji, there are so many bad guys out there, only your broad shoulders can protect my family! You must come! Yes By the way, do you want to play a face-changing trick for you?"

Yuan Zhong rubbed his face triumphantly, this is his unique skill, only this one has no other branch.

Tan Yin is indeed curious about his countless faces. There are not one but countless masks with such fine craftsmanship. How did he put them all on his face without any flaws?
"Why do you always change your face?" she asked, "Do you usually wear all those cheeks on your face?"

Yuan Zhong had a mysterious smile on his face, and said in a low voice: "You want to know? Come with me and I'll tell you?"

Tan Yin could suddenly understand why Tang Hua hated him so much, throwing him into the pond, no one could help it if he was changed. This person was never serious, so he couldn't communicate.

Tan Yin sighed slightly: "Okay, I'll go."

Yuan Zhong went back into the car from Shan Ru Liu, and the next moment she floated in like a butterfly.The car is very spacious. In addition to the cushioned futons for people to rest on, there is even a small sandalwood table with a glazed vat. The vat is full of grapes, green and purple. Yuan Zhong picks them with relish. Throw the biggest and roundest grapes into your mouth and eat them.

Eating grapes early in the morning?Tan Yin suddenly remembered the legend that foxes love to eat grapes, and she couldn't help but smile, and her disgust towards him also faded a bit.

Yuan Zhong saw that her eyes were always looking towards Putao, he was very petty, and hurriedly declared: "This is the breakfast of His Royal Highness the Great Monk."

Tan Yin didn't say yes or no, just lifted the corner of the curtain and quietly watched the changing scenery outside.The sleeve was suddenly pulled lightly, and as soon as he turned his head, he saw two golden jute balls wrapped in oil paper being sent to the front of the nose.

Yuan Zhong looked at her holding the steaming sesame ball: "This is yours."

It's rare that he actually has the heart, Tan Yin took it, and suddenly smiled at him: "Thank you."

Yuan Zhong clapped his hands intoxicatedly and whispered: "Sister Ji, girls should always laugh, you look good when you smile."

... It seems that the person once said this to himself.

Tan Yin took a bite of the hemp ball silently, and said suddenly: "No one has seen your face, so does no one know your name?"

He was obviously surprised for a moment: "You want to know my name?"

Tan Yin shook her head, then nodded after a while: "I'm just a little curious."

Curious why he has to hide himself so closely, I don't know his appearance or name, although he doesn't quite understand how mysterious the identity of the great monk of the fox clan is, but judging from his appearance, it is obvious that he is not an identity that needs to hide everything, Why make it so mysterious?
Yuan Zhong is playing with a grape, his fingers are very long, with well-defined knuckles, but the strength of his fingers is extremely deft, the blue grape is twirling around the fingertips, but it will not fall.

He was smiling all over his face, his eyes were bright, but his voice was uncharacteristically soft: "Sister Ji, it is said that when a woman is curious about a man, that is when she has a crush on him. You like me, don't you?"

He was triumphant, his face was full of peach blossoms, the grapes bounced from his right hand to his left, and then flew back from his left hand to his right, enjoying himself.

Tan Yin shook her head vigorously without hesitation.

"Ah, ah," Yuan Zhong covered his face, very shy, "I'm so sad, so sad, so shy..."

To communicate with this person, one must cultivate a calm spirit of turning a blind eye, and pretend not to see all his abnormal behaviors, otherwise he will lose his mind and do terrible things like Tang Hua.

"But even if Sister Xiao Ji likes me, I can't tell you my name." Yuan Zhong sighed and winked at her, "My name is also a priceless treasure."

Tan Yin bit the hemp ball and pretended not to hear. She decided that no matter what he said along the way, she would never answer.

The bird of paradise pulled the cart several times faster than ordinary spirit beasts, and it was thousands of miles away before noon.Tan Yin saw that there were gradually people living outside, and it was no longer a mountain forest stretching for thousands of miles, so she couldn't help staring outside, fascinated.

She only lived for 17 years. From birth to death, she never left the Ji family's ancestral home for a hundred miles, and later... Later, she never set foot in the mortal world. Everything outside was still new to her.

Seeing the scenery outside the car window change, first there are only a few small farmhouses in the village, and the smoke rises straight up, like a dragon made of white smoke. The flowers are as colorful as they are, passing by in a flash.Finally came to a huge and prosperous city, the Bird of Paradise flew slower and lower, lower and lower, there were jugglers on the corner of the street, several children under ten years old were doing somersaults one after another, the sound of gongs and drums was loud and loud. God; there are many people around the entrance of the casino on the street, noisy, probably a gambler who lost all his money was beaten out; on the opposite side there is a sale of fried tofu, and the smoke is blown away by the wind.

Tan Yin couldn't take her eyes off it. This was a town she had never been to. The style and color of the houses, and even the clothes of the people were completely different from what she was familiar with before. She found it interesting and novel.

The car stopped, and everyone around avoided it in awe. Although there is a mix of humans, demons and immortals nowadays, it is rare to use the Bird of Paradise to pull the cart with such a style.

Yuan Zhong looked at Tan Yin, she was still staring outside, across the street was just the most common shop selling clay pots, she could look at it with relish for so long, is it so novel?He usually goes out to do errands, and he seldom has such a big ostentation. There are dragons and snakes outside, and the limelight is to make trouble for himself. Today, seeing Tan Yin watching happily, he deliberately drove the car into the town. She didn't notice anything wrong. He couldn't help ponder.

"Let's find an inn to live in." He finally spoke, and the very beginning of his opening was quite indecent, "I have been looking forward to the opportunity to share a room with the beautiful sister in a hotel, sister Xiaoji, do we want tonight?" Are you talking at night by candlelight?"
