Xiangyan Ihara's Hell One-day Tour
Today is the weekend, Xiang Yan originally planned to take a good rest at home, but just as he sat down, he was startled by Yi Yuan who jumped in from the window.
"Phew! It's scary, why did you suddenly jump in from outside?" Xiang Yan patted his chest, exhaled and gave Yi Yuan an unhappy look.
"Sorry, sorry." Yi Yuan smiled apologetically at Xiang Yan, and then sat down on the sofa beside Xiang Yan.
"What's wrong? In such a hurry." Xiang Yan asked suspiciously.
Although they can share consciousness, they don't have to share everything. Some things that can be explained clearly don't need to be shared, just say it briefly.
"Oh yes, I came here to talk about something." After sitting down, Yi Yuan looked at Xiang Yan and said, "Hell has an event these two days, do you want to go and see it?"
"Activity? What activity?"
"It seems to be a Lantern Festival?" Yi Yuan didn't know it very well, but he heard Yang Wu mention it before, and Xiang Yan just had a holiday today, so he wanted to take him to see it.
"Well... okay." Xiang Yan nodded, he thought about it for a while, and felt that he had nothing to do now, so he might as well go and see the excitement with Yi Yuan.
Hell's activity... he's still very curious.
"Then let's go!" Yi Yuan stood up and looked at Xiang Yan, then stretched out his hand, "Let's just teleport there."
"Wait, I still have to dress up as Xiang Ye..." Xiang Yan shook his head slightly at Yi Yuan, and then said.
He can't go to hell with his original appearance, it's not good to be seen by hell ghosts.
Now the human world is no longer the time when there was only one ghost messenger in Ibara, and occasionally some ghost messengers can be seen coming and going in the city at night.
It would be a lot of fun if a ghost messenger met Xiang Yan in the human world and then saw him in hell.
"No need." Hearing Xiang Yan's words, Yi Yuan smiled slightly, and then took out two masks from behind.
One mask is a red-patterned fox, the other a silver-gray wolf.
Yi Yuan handed Xiang Yan the red patterned fox mask.
Because I was interested in this event in Hell, Ihara specifically asked Yang Wu a few more questions. Yang Wu said that everyone will wear masks in this event, and no one knows each other, so they can play with confidence.
After listening to Yi Yuan's explanation, Xiang Yan raised his eyebrows, took the fox mask and put it on, then looked at Yi Yuan, "How is it?"
"It's beautiful." Ihara praised.
"I'm asking if you can recognize me?" Xiang Yan gave Yi Yuan an angry look, then turned around and walked to the mirror in the room to look for himself.
The fox mask was just enough to cover the upper half of Xiang Yan's face, only revealing his fair chin and rosy lips.
It seemed that he couldn't see his appearance anymore, but when Xiang Yan looked at his hair and clothes, he still felt a little weird.
"Hmm..." Xiang Yan frowned slightly, looking at himself in the mirror, thinking.
Yi Yuan, who was at the side, saw Xiang Yan's thoughtful look, and walked to the mirror to look.
After watching for a while, Yi Yuan seemed to have thought of something, took off his windbreaker and put it on Xiang Yan, and then put the hood on Xiang Yan's head.
"That's fine!" Yi Yuan looked at Xiang Yan who was completely wrapped in a windbreaker in the mirror, and said with a smile in his tone.
Because Yi Yuan is a little taller than Xiang Yan, his clothes are a bit too big for Xiang Yan, the windbreaker hangs down to his calves, and the hood directly covers Xiang Yan's hair, so he can only vaguely see from inside. To a point Xiang Yan's fair chin.
Looking around, Xiang Yan nodded in satisfaction, "Okay, that's it!"
"Then let's go?" Yi Yuan slightly turned his head to look at Xiang Yan who was at the side.
"En." Xiang Yan nodded.
………………
The teleportation talisman was very useful, and Yi Yuan took Xiang Yan to the gate of hell in the blink of an eye.
Before entering, Yi Yuan and Xiang Yan met several ghosts who also went back to hell.
Although those ghost messengers knew Yi Yuan, they didn't dare to go up to say hello, they could only watch silently as Yi Yuan pulled Xiang Yan into the gate of hell.
After Yi Yuan brought Xiang Yan in, the ghost messengers outside the door looked at each other, and they all saw the gossip in each other's eyes.
He was very curious about Xiang Yan who was covering his face.
But they dared to say in private that they would not dare to dance in front of Yi Yuan.
Taking Xiang Yan into the gate of hell, Yi Yuan and the others came to the side of Huangquan Road, beside the roadside was a stag lion resting with its eyes slightly squinted.
When it saw Yi Yuan and Xiang Yan, the stag lion opened its eyes for a moment, and his eyes stayed on Xiang Yan for a long time, and when Yi Yuan was about to ask aloud, the stag lion withdrew its gaze again, and then Keep your head down and rest.
"?" Yi Yuan glanced at the stag lion suspiciously, thought for a while without saying anything, pulled Xiang Yan and walked onto Huangquan Road.
At first, he thought he couldn't hide the stag lion, but he didn't expect him to let them go without saying anything...
With question marks all over their heads, Yi Yuan and the others entered the city of hell.
Just now on Huangquan Road, Yi Yuan also felt the constant gazes from around him, so now he is also wearing a wolf mask.
After putting on the masks, they really didn't have much sightlines, because now the whole city of Hell is full of people wearing masks, and Ihara and the others are inconspicuous.
The city of hell has a very active atmosphere. Starting from the gate of the city, red lanterns are hung all the way, and red candles are lit in the surrounding shops, which looks very festive.
But looking at the red candles around him, Xiang Yan always felt a chill in his heart, a strange feeling.
Those reds are a bit too... red, so red that they are black, they don't look like real red, but a bit like blood red.
"It's okay." Seemingly feeling the uneasiness in Xiang Yan's heart, Yi Yuan stretched out his hand to hold Xiang Yan's hand, "Hell is inherently dark, you are a human being, and you are not used to being normal. I will hold you and you will be fine."
After all, Yi Yuan was a ghost messenger from hell, and he was a special ghost messenger. Xiang Yan was really relieved to be by his side and being pulled by him.
Although it was a little strange for two big boys to hold hands, the awkwardness in Xiang Yan's and Yi Yuan's hearts disappeared when they thought that it was all their own.
Xiang Yan and Yi Yuan held hands as if they were holding hands with their left hand and right hand, there was nothing wrong with that.
So, Yi Yuan and Xiang Yan just walked around the city hand in hand.
The things in hell are indeed quite different from those in the human world. Xiang Yan had a great time wandering around, stopping and stopping when he saw something he was interested in.
Although he read a lot, Xiang Yan didn't buy anything.
It wasn't a matter of money, although I haven't checked carefully, but as far as Yi Yuan's big house is concerned, Yi Yuan is not short of money in hell.
Mainly because it doesn't work.
The things in hell are for ghost messengers, black and white impermanence, or ghosts. Xiang Yan, as a pure human being, of course can't use them.
Even he dare not eat hell.
There are many folk ghost stories that say that you can't eat anything from hell, and you can't go back to the world after eating something from hell.
Although he didn't know whether these claims were true or not, Xiang Yan didn't dare to test it himself, and he would suffer if he accidentally ate something wrong.
Yi Yuan didn't dare to feed Xiang Yan casually, so the two of them just went shopping, stopped to look around when they saw interesting things, and then walked on.
Because it is a lantern festival, there are many lanterns around, all kinds, very beautiful.
Not only the lanterns hanging on the road or in the shop, Xiang Yan and Yi Yuan also saw some people carrying small lanterns in their hands, walking around with the lanterns, and the fire inside the lanterns flickered along with it.
"Like it?" Seemingly feeling that Xiang Yan's gaze stayed on a lantern for a long time, Yi Yuan glanced at the lantern, then leaned closer to Xiang Yan and asked in a low voice.
"Hmm..." Xiang Yan nodded slightly when he saw the lantern with a few playful rabbits painted on the lampshade.
Lanterns are useless, they are just beautiful, after today, there is no time to use them.
But it's good enough for one reason.
Yi Yuan paid the money, then handed the lantern to Xiang Yan for him to hold.
Carrying the rabbit lantern, Xiang Yan and Yi Yuan arrived at the bank of the Wangchuan River.
There are quite a few people by the Wangchuan River, most of them are holding lanterns in their hands, and quite a few people are holding river lanterns in their hands. They are squatting by the river, putting the river lanterns in their hands into the water, and closing His eyes seemed to be making a wish.
"Will this wish really come true?" Xiang Yan asked curiously.
There are things like river lanterns in many places, and making a wish is just for comfort, and very few of them are useful.
"Maybe..." Yi Yuan was about to answer when a female voice beside him interrupted.
"Of course it works. The river lanterns here are not ordinary river lanterns. The wish has come true."
Xiang Yan and Yi Yuan turned their heads to look at the person who spoke.
The girl who made the noise was wearing a skirt that is very common in hell, and she wore a pure white mask on her face.
Seeing Xiang Yan and Yi Yuan turned their heads, the girl smiled embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, I just heard you talking about whether it works, so I couldn't help but interject."
"It's okay." Xiang Yan shook his head slightly, and then asked curiously, "Is this river lantern really so effective? Can any wish come true?"
"He Deng is indeed very effective. I got promoted last year when I made a wish to get promoted." The girl said with a little excitement.
"Really?" Xiang Yan asked curiously.
Anyway, they have nothing to do, just hang out, and listening to stories here is quite interesting.
"Yeah." The girl nodded, glanced at Yi Yuan and Xiang Yan's holding hands, and then deliberately said: "I heard that seeking marriage is the most effective."
Seeing the girl's "you understand" eyes, Xiang Yan was a little dumbfounded, but he didn't explain aloud, they just met by chance, and they didn't even know each other's true colors, so there was no need for an explanation.
"Really? Then we have to try to see if it works." Yi Yuan said aloud, and then took Xiang Yan to buy two river lanterns.
Although they don't have any wishes that they really want to realize, buying a river lantern is still a novel experience.
Looking at the backs of Yi Yuan and Xiang Yan leaving, the girl with the pure white mask couldn't help sighing, "Love... tsk tsk tsk."
After taking a second look at Xiang Yan and Yi Yuan, the girl also turned around and left. The lantern festival was so lively that a whole day's shopping would not be enough, and she didn't want to spend all her time here.
After the girl left, Xiang Yan and Yi Yuan also set up the river lantern.
The two of them didn't make any big wishes, but just made two wishes that could be easily fulfilled at random, intending to see if the river lantern would be so effective.
"Where do you plan to go next?" After setting off the river lantern, Yi Yuan slightly turned her head to look at Xiang Yan beside her.
"Well... over there." Xiang Yan pointed to a crowded place.
Anyway, he doesn't know what's interesting in hell, so he might as well follow the crowd to see it.
A place with a lot of people is naturally a place to watch!
"Then let's go." Yi Yuan pulled Xiang Yan to walk in the direction he just pointed.
After walking for a while, Xiang Yan and the others took a closer look at the destination before they knew what it was for.
To put it simply - paper puppetry!
Paper puppetry is a special technique in which the user creates a paper figurine and then uses a special spell to make the paper figurine move.
The actions and range of action depend on the user's personal ability. Those with strong abilities can even create paper puppets that can fight fierce ghosts, while those with weak abilities can only make a few small paper puppets for people to play around with.
Now Xiang Yan and the others in front of them should be weak.
The two of them watched for a while, and found that the user could only fabricate a few small paper figurines without much ability.
But the people around don't care about the strength of the paper figurines, they just have a playful attitude towards these paper figurines, and they don't need the paper figurines to do anything.
The paper figurine only needs to stand on the table and walk around unsteadily, which is enough to make the people around them applaud with interest.
Yi Yuan was not interested in this paper figurine, it was just a little trick of little use.
However, Xiang Yan on the side was watching the performance in front of him with a little interest.
Xiang Yan didn't need this kind of little paper man himself, he was thinking of his two younger brothers and sisters.
Xiang Yin and Xiang Shi should like this kind of little paper figurine.
This kind of little paper figurine is easy to raise, it only needs a little energy to move, and it is only the size of a palm, so it is very convenient to carry.
When Xiang Yin and Xiang are accompanied by such little paper figures, I believe they will be very happy.
They were all alone, and after seeing Xiang Yan's appearance, Yi Yuan thought about it for a while and then understood what he was thinking.
After a pause, Yi Yuan looked at the paper doll owner not far away and asked, "Is this paper doll for sale?"
"Hey?" The owner of the paper figurine who was teasing the little paper figurine was taken aback for a moment, then quickly reacted, and walked over with a smile on his face, "Sell, of course I sold it, I don't know if this adult wants to buy it. Which one?"
It is true that some people will buy this kind of paper figurines back home, but not many, most of them just look at it now, and then leave, and will not really buy it.
So after hearing Yi Yuan's voice, the owner of the paper figurine hurried over, fearing that Yi Yuan would repent.
Yi Yuan didn't rush to answer the paper figurine's owner, but looked to Xiang Yan at the side, "Which one do you want?"
Seeing Yi Yuan's actions, the owner of the paper doll also understood that Xiang Yan was the one who really wanted to buy the paper doll, so he slightly turned his head to look at Xiang Yan, "Come on, my lord, you can take a closer look." look."
"En." Xiang Yan nodded, took a few steps closer, and then looked down at the little paper figurines on the table.
There are not many paper figurines on the table, less than ten, but each has its own characteristics.
Xiang Yan looked carefully, and then chose two for Xiang Yin and Xiang Shi based on their personalities.
Xiang Yin is more lively and loves to play, so Xiang Yan chose a paper doll for her that is always jumping, and Xiang Shi prefers to be quiet, so Xiang Yan chose a paper doll for him that likes to sit.
"Just these two." Xiang Yan said to the owner of the paper figurine after choosing.
"Two? Okay, okay, I'll fix it for you right away." The owner of the paper figurine seemed to have never expected Xiang Yan to ask for two, so he couldn't help being stunned for a moment, but he immediately came back to his senses, and then smiled Looking at Xiang Yan.
This kind of paper doll might seem useless, but not everyone can make it.
There are quite a lot of things needed to make a paper doll, and those spells are not passed on, which makes these paper dolls more expensive.
However, Xiang Yan would not be polite to Yi Yuan. Yi Yuan's money was Xiang Yan's money, and Xiang Yan spent it without any psychological burden.
Similarly, Yi Yuan doesn't care about money, buying things for his younger brothers and sisters is no problem, it's very normal!
So, when the maker of the paper figurine assembled and handed over the two temporarily sleeping paper figurines, Yi Yuan had already prepared the money.
"After you go back, inject energy and you will be able to move again!" the maker of the paper figurine told Xiangyan.
"En." Xiang Yan nodded, indicating that he understood.
After receiving the paper figurine, Xiang Yan was dragged away by Yi Yuan.
Looking at the backs of Xiang Yan and Yi Yuan, everyone who had been watching the fun was filled with emotion.
The girl felt very envious of Xiang Yan having such a partner as Yi Yuan.
What?You say it's not the object?
How is that possible!
From the perspective of girls who have watched many TV shows, Yi Yuan and Xiang Yan are obviously very close, either relatives or lovers.
As for why it is finally guessed as a couple instead of a relative?
Hmm... How should I put it, it's just a feeling. Seeing Xiang Yan and Yi Yuan walking together holding hands, they really don't think it's a relationship between relatives.
"Actually... who said that relatives and lovers can't be together anymore?" A girl looked at the two little sisters who were discussing beside her, and couldn't help but said, "Don't two get together?"
"Hey?!!!" The two girls beside me couldn't help shouting in shock.
After seeing the strange eyes of the people around, the girl who just spoke hurriedly pulled her two little sisters away.
The girls envied that Xiang Yan had a person like Yi Yuan by his side, while the boys around him envied that Yi Yuan was so rich.
The price of the two paper figurines was not a small amount, and Yi Yuan took them out without blinking an eye, which meant that he was not short of money.
The boys are very envious...
………………
On the other hand, Yi Yuan and Xiang Yan had no idea that buying two paper dolls caused so many discussions. After buying the paper dolls, they found a new street and walked up.
Unlike other streets, the lanterns on this street are not red, but white!
Looking at the white lanterns around him, Xiang Yan couldn't help feeling a little panicked. He tightly held Yi Yuan's hand next to him, not daring to take a step away from Yi Yuan.
"It's... so strange here!" Xiang Yan looked at the white lanterns around him, and couldn't help but say out loud.
"It's a bit strange." Yi Yuan looked at the white lanterns hanging all over the street, frowned slightly, then protected Xiang Yan and walked towards the entrance of the street.
Originally, they just wanted to find a random street for a stroll, but they ended up in this weird place by accident. Yi Yuan and Xiang Yan were already in no mood for shopping, and just wanted to get out of here as soon as possible.
Although Ihara is confident that no one can hurt him in hell, he still doesn't want to stay here any longer. His body won't be hurt, but his mind is not. He doesn't want to be frightened yet.
After walking along the street for a while, Yiyuan saw a figure swaying not far away with sharp eyes.
He thought about it, and walked over with Xiang Yan.
When he approached and saw the figure, Ihara couldn't help but twitched the corner of his mouth.
The person in front of him was Yi Yuan's acquaintance—Meng Shiqi, also known as Po Meng in the legend.
"Meng Shiqi? Why are you here?" Yi Yuan looked at Meng Shiqi.
Meng Shiqi didn't wear a mask, so Yi Yuan recognized her at a glance. While talking, Yi Yuan also took off his mask, revealing his own face.
"I'm here to do some shopping." Meng Qiqi greeted Yi Yuan cheerfully, and after replying, he turned his attention to Xiang Yan who was at the side.
Taking a focused look at Yi Yuan and Xiang Yan's holding hands, Meng Shiqi asked in a gossip-filled tone, "This is..."
"He's my friend." Yi Yuan took a step forward, blocking Meng Qiqi's line of sight.
"Oh, my friend..." Meng Qiqi raised her eyebrows, although she said so, but her eyes were shining brightly because she didn't believe it.
Yi Yuan didn't care what Meng Shiqi looked at, anyway, he just stopped her from seeing Xiang Yan, and Xiang Yan also hid behind Yi Yuan very sensiblely, not having any communication with Meng Shiqi.
Seeing Yi Yuan and Xiang Yan's actions, Meng Qiqi curled his lips, looked away regretfully, and then looked at Yi Yuan, "Why are you here? Isn't the Lantern Festival here?"
"Accident." Speaking of this, Yi Yuan couldn't help frowning, "We entered by accident."
"Oh." Meng Shiqi nodded without asking further, "Then do you want to go out together?"
"Okay." Yi Yuan nodded, agreeing to Meng Shiqi's proposal.
Although Yi Yuan could leave on his own, it was better to go out with Meng Shiqi than to walk around blindly.
On the way out, Meng Qiqi also told Yiyuan and the others about the situation of this street. The situation here is a bit special. All the goods sold there are ghost products, so white lanterns are used around it.
Except for ghosts, generally no one would go in. Meng Shiqi often dealt with ghosts, so he knew this place.
After walking out of the street full of white lanterns, seeing the red lanterns and the lively crowd around him, Yi Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, then smiled and said goodbye to Meng Shiqi.
Meng Shiqi also smiled and waved.
Just as Yi Yuan and Xiang Yan were about to turn around and leave, Meng Shiqi behind him suddenly shouted, "Xiang Yan!"
"Huh?" Xiang Yan responded habitually, and then he realized that he looked at Meng Shiqi in surprise.
Seeing Xiang Yan's performance, Meng Shiqi confirmed his guess, so he waved to Yan with a smile on his face, then turned and left.
[He is the one who shouted when Yi Yuan was drunk, and Yi Yuan actually chased him...]
"???" Seeing Meng Shiqi's appearance, Xiang Yan looked at Yi Yuan with question marks all over his head, "You mentioned me to her?"
"No." Yi Yuan also had a puzzled look on his face. He had never told anyone about Xiang Yan's existence, and he didn't know how Meng Qiqi knew Xiang Yan's name.
"Strange..." Xiang Yan murmured in confusion.
"Let's go, I'll take you back." Yi Yuan was also surprised that Meng Shiqi knew about Xiang Yan, but he still cared more about Xiang Yan, after walking around for so long, it was time for Xiang Yan to go back.
"En." Xiang Yan nodded, and followed Yi Yuan on the way back.
