Chapter 21: Heart-to-Heart Talk
"What! don't you want to take a break? I'm too tired now. Mu Ling slumped on the chair at will, and her waist was almost straight.
"I just told you to clean up a little, and I didn't make you so serious when you could step on it. ”
"This..."Mu Ling was really tired, so she sighed.
"It's still early, and it's okay to rest for a while. ”
Seeing that the little mute was displeased, Mu Ling suddenly didn't dare to look directly. Unintentionally fiddling with the stumps on the wooden table.
Suddenly, a white light flashed outside the window, followed by a bolt of lightning piercing the sky and falling like a whip with thunder. The sky is like a sharp sword splitting in half.
- Boom!
The deafening sound resounded all over the country, Mu Ling was frightened into a panic, and after the sharp sound came into his ears, he stumbled and fell into Bai Ye's arms.
Bai Ye made a muffled sound, and the woman pressed heavily on her body, wanting to blame, but unexpectedly saw a certain woman trembling, and her little hands pinched the corners of her clothes uneasily.
"You've never seen thunder?"
Mu Ling hid in Bai Ye's arms, and with a burst of thunder, she didn't let go.
Although I have seen the immortals of Buyu since I was a child, I really just saw the electric cone, which I thought was fun, but I didn't expect that the human world was a different scene.
"I'm afraid..."
"It's okay, I'm here, this thunder won't last long, and it will disappear after a while. You bury your head in the chest of this king, and you may be less afraid. ”
Mu Ling was gently buried according to Bai Ye's description, Bai Ye raised his hands and placed them next to Mu Ling's ears and gently covered them, and the trace of demonic power dissolved the huge sound around him.
After a while, Mu Ling really didn't feel so scared, and when she raised her head again, there was not a drop of rain outside the house.
The world seemed to be baptized, and the fresh air mixed with a faint smell of earth wafted into the house.
"The king is hungry. ”
"Hmm, I still have some buns on me, why don't I pad my stomach?"
"Is this the king the one who eats the leftovers?"
"Now you and I are both outcasts, and some of them are good to eat! ”
Bai Ye said coldly: "If there is nothing fresh, this king refuses to eat." ”
"You..."
"Huh?"
Mu Ling smiled and agreed, "Let's go." ”
Turning around, he couldn't help muttering that in the past, the fairy servant would eat whatever he brought, not like this little mute was simply a picky eater, if it weren't for the fact that he had just become an adult and needed to supplement nutrition, she would not have looked for food.
As soon as Mu Ling stepped out of the bamboo door, Bai Ye held her wrist.
"What's wrong?"
Bai Ye's ears moved slightly, his nose was sensitive, and there was a trace of demonic energy in the air. It is somewhat similar to the aura of the man in black that day.
"No need to look for food, let's go on our way. ”
"You're not hungry?"
Bai Ye picked up the cold bun on the table and put it into his mouth, "Eat while walking, and the two will not be delayed." ”
"Well, that's fine. The rain stopped outside. ”
Bai Ye and Mu Ling walked very fast, sniffing the familiar breath from time to time, and only when they walked to the land of the Yin Forest did they stop in place to rest for a while, Bai Ye wanted to keep going, but because Mu Ling was an ordinary human, he had to stop and rest for a while from time to time.
This can't be blamed on Mu Ling, who is not keen on sports, and it is inevitable that he will not be able to bear it for so long at once, and he can't cast spells in front of the little mute, which is really difficult.
"Tonight may be a pain for you, we must stay up all night to hurry, and we must reach the Yuqing Curtain by tomorrow morning. ”
"Where is the Jade Curtain?"
Bai Ye paused, the Yuqing Curtain is a naturally formed waterfall, which is located in a splendid and prosperous area, where birds and beasts live in groups, and it is also the junction between the demon world and the human world.
"Yuqing curtain is the junction between our country and this country, where the mountains and rivers are beautiful, and the scenery is charming. ”
"Then why do we have to be in such a hurry, since the jade curtain is so beautiful, how can we not stay for a few days. ”
"The scenery there is unique, but there are hidden jackals, tigers and leopards, and there are many dangers, haven't you heard that the more beautiful the place, the more dangerous it is?"
Mu Ling looked at the handsome face, and ripped off a small grass around her, "Beauty is dangerous, so are you also dangerous." ”
Bai Ye stared at Mu Ling suspiciously, a flash of inspiration appeared in his mind, he smiled faintly, and his mouth outlined a beautiful arc.
"Then you think I'm beautiful?"
Mu Ling looked at the star-like eyes, and the endless depth in them was gradually attracting her.
Mu Ling lowered her head to avoid Bai Ye's gaze, "How can you be so narcissistic!"
"By the way, I picked you up by the creek before! How did you end up in that kind of place?"
"Hunted down by the enemy, haven't you seen it before?"
"You mean the men in black?"
"That's right!"
"Why are they chasing you? Do they have some deep hatred for you?"
Bai Ye hesitated for a second, "Because I am the king of a country, there are countless people who want my life. ”
Mu Ling was also shocked when she heard this, and couldn't help but sigh, "Actually, I don't understand, doesn't it mean that the world is warm everywhere, why is there so much blood." ”
"In the past, this was the case, presumably you are also a person who reads, but ordinary women really can't read books, it seems that you are also a rich daughter, and you have a trace of insight from reading. ”
"The world has always changed, and the more time passes, the more greedy desires will grow. Have you ever heard of ghosts?"
Mu Ling nodded slightly.
"Ghosts are the narrowest view in the human heart, made of lust and greed, when people die, those desires are satisfied, and some will turn into ghosts to commit murder and evil, which is why many commoners believe in gods and fortune tellers. ”
"After the war, there will be a lot of life, and when the time comes, there will be countless resentful spirits, and if they absorb too much essence, they will improve their cultivation. ”
"You know so much, little mute. Mu Ling listened carefully, as if she had returned to her childhood, when her father would always put some interesting and vivid stories to her sleep.
"Do you really believe that? These are just rumors, I read them from books. Don't take it seriously. ”
"According to what you say, there is still room for goodness in the deepest part of the human heart, but the dirty darkness is confused for a while and there is no way out. ”
Bai Ye was stunned, it was ridiculous that there was such a simple and stupid woman in the world, he hesitated slightly, and half-chuckled, "Aren't you afraid of ghosts?"
"Well, I don't know, I've never really seen it, and even if I did, I wouldn't be afraid! Whether they are dead or alive, they have a living and other meanings. ”
Hearing this, Bai Ye frowned slightly.
"Are you afraid of demons?"
"Demons, smelling demons are like cute and agile little animals, what's so scary about this. ”
Bai Ye chuckled, "Demon, it's not like you say, the little demons who have cultivated for a hundred years like fireworks in the world, those little demons who don't understand the world breed right and wrong everywhere and hurt innocent lives. ”
