Chapter 12: Cinnabar
Ling Chen sneered, obviously very disbelieving: "With your ability, it is easy to deal with these small things, can you throw them at me and make you owe me a favor?" He looked at Xu Mu'an, and the hostility in his eyes became even stronger, with a little ridicule, as if he wanted to see what the other party was doing.
He was willing to come, of course, not to believe anything in Xu Mu'an, in fact, if it was possible, he would like to be able to behead Xu Mu'an under the sword, and this time he came only because he mentioned the news of the person that both of them were thinking about.
Xu Mu'an looked up at him, there was no extra emotion in his eyes, he just said calmly: "Do you know how long it took me to wait for her to come to this life?" He didn't wait for Ling Chen to answer, and said: "As you said, I can kill a little ghost with a snap of my fingers, but this is something I can do, but it shouldn't be something that a doctor in Qingcheng can do." ”
This is very clear, Xu Muan wants to get close to her, but he doesn't want his identity to be exposed, he doesn't seem to want her to remember the past.
Ling Chen's eyes were a little complicated, but Xu Mu'an smiled: "She is smart by nature, and I have always been clumsy in front of her, so I don't dare to take the slightest risk." This sentence was said in a very soft voice, as if he was recalling something from a long time ago.
Xu Mu'an was the person who was the most disdainful of lying back then, so when he said this, Ling Chen took his eyes off his face, and only turned back after a while, almost with a little mockery: "It's just a few miscellaneous pieces, but you asked you to send a message to me to move the rescuers, if this matter is known by the people back then, I am afraid that the big teeth will laugh off." ”
Xu Muan looked down at the pot of medicine boiled for Yunman's father again: "I don't care. The fan in his hand fanned the steaming water vapor, the medicinal juice was boiling and gurgling, and the little abnormal sound coming out of the rich black was similar to Xu Mu'an's current situation.
He was a very proud person, except for that particular person, who had never disdained to let others see the slightest weakness of himself, but now he said it.
Compared with the boiling decoction, these four words are breeze.
Ling Chen smiled: "Lord Demon King, this is not like you, cautious and compromised, I remember the way you used to deal with things, but you have to be more resolute." ”
What Ling Chen said was exactly what Xu Mu'an deliberately wanted to hide, and Xu Mu'an's eyes shrank when he was excited, and he almost looked at Ling Chen with a little fierceness, but Ling Chen had already turned his gaze at this time, and said to himself: "This matter is somewhat dangerous, and it is not possible to let Yun Man go, otherwise, I will go directly to destroy those things, and then tell her that I have removed those things, anyway, my current identity is Tao, and it is not a big deal to get rid of a monster." I don't know if I feel the eyes that don't have kindness.
Ferocity and murder are nature, even if it is suppressed for thousands of years, but whenever there is a slight gap, it will still drill out regardless of it, especially when the person in front of you is the person who has seen you back then.
Xu Muan's murderous aura, which was almost condensed into substance, was forcibly suppressed by himself, and he said with a bit of stiffness: "How did you break her up at that time?"
Ling Chen turned his head, looked in the direction of the cabinet and said, "I said that this matter is a bit troublesome, I have to prepare something." "It's not difficult to take her away, those words said at the time, now I think there's nothing wrong with recalling it, but I'm not afraid of Yunman's suspicion.
There is nothing wrong with this answer, but I don't care about it...... Xu Muan asked him: "With what you know about her, will she let you go by yourself?"
Ling Chen hadn't thought about this before, but at this time, he was choked by the question, and paused and said, "Then I'll go kill them first, and then take her around there?" ”
Yunman's current information reserves in this area are basically zero, so this compromise method is not afraid of revealing the stuff.
Xu Mu'an thought about it for a while, then nodded and said, "It's a bit troublesome, but this matter is much safer for her." ”
Ling Chen felt that the more he thought about this method, the more convenient it became, and he was almost a little eager to try: "Then I'll prepare?" In fact, if you talk about it deeply, what Ling Chen cares about is not just this one thing, but the meaning behind it - he will appear by Yunman's side as a protector.
Ling Chen was secretly excited for a while, but he didn't get a response from Xu Mu'an, and when he looked sideways, Mu An's expression was a little strange, as if he wanted to respond, but he only opened his mouth and didn't make a sound.
Originally, he didn't have the patience to wait, and looked at Xu Mu'an, who was obviously absent-minded, and said a little puzzled: "What are you hesitating about?"
Xu Mu'an seemed to want to laugh habitually, but the corners of her lips were mentioned a few times but she didn't mention it, and sighed hesitantly: "She took it as her mission to kill demons back then, but now she even needs to avoid such a little thing, if she knows, I don't know how angry she should be." His eyes were a little wandering, and he didn't know where he was drifting through the medicinal herbs hanging on the wall and the medicine cabinets.
Xu Mu'an's expression was silent at this time, but Ling Chen had no sympathy at all, and only sneered: "If you hadn't stopped her back then, she wouldn't have to be like this." ”
Xu Mu'an was excited by his words, but it came out from the way he seemed to recall, I don't know if it was to hide his emotions or what, he actually laughed: "Do you want to fight again, but you should know that the strength of you and me is not something that can be made up in this thousand years,"
This is very annoying, but it is still the truth, so Ling Chen has no way to refute it, so he only said fiercely: "You owe her, I will ask you to pay it back one day." ”
Xu Muan didn't think this sentence was a threat, but nodded in agreement: "Naturally, I want to pay it back." "I have to pay back what I owe, not only to pay it back, but also to make up more and more for her.
Ling Chen was a little angry with him, as if he couldn't hear the meaning of the words, and he didn't know whether he really didn't understand or pretended not to understand. I didn't bother to say anything to him at this time, so I turned around and left.
The sun rises in the east and sets in the west, and the day passes quickly, although yesterday, he has agreed with Xu Mu'an how to coax Yunman today, but I don't know if he was stimulated by Xu Mu'an's words yesterday, the ghost sent the gods, and when Ling Chen should go to find out the truth and get rid of those filth, he sat quietly and did not move.
He already had other plans in his heart, just like Xu Mu'an said, Yun Man used to be such a powerful figure, but now even this little bit of miscellaneous things has to be avoided, I don't know if Yun Man knows about this kind of thing, even Ling Chen can't help but feel a little more sad when he thinks about it now.
Ling Chen pondered for a long time, and finally decided to take Yun Man to meet those things, first, Ling Chen could protect Yun Man by himself, and second, Ling Chen also wanted to give it a try, could he use this method to stimulate a little bit of Yun Man's past memories, Xu Muan didn't want Yun Man to recover his memory was Xu Mu'an's business, Ling Chen didn't care so much.
After a short time, Yun Man found here alone, she was already ready, and after seeing that the time was about the same as agreed, she raised her hand and knocked on the door: "Daoist Lingchen, are you ready here?"
Before the words fell, the door opened, and Ling Chen waved the bag in his hand to her, looking like he had just finished packing: "Most of them are ready, only some cinnabar is missing." Yun Man couldn't help it, and glanced into the house, the condition in the house was much better than last time, although it was not spotless, but at least it was much better than the last time it looked after the robbery.
Yun Man is not worried, it is difficult to say other things, but this cinnabar, where is there still a shortage of these in the pharmacy, so he said: "This is convenient, this thing can be used in medicine, Dr. Xu must have it in this place." ”
Ling Chen smiled a little, and said meaningfully: "There should be something, but I don't know if he is willing to give it." ”
There was another meaning in these words, Yun Man couldn't guess the meaning for a while, so he just pursed his lips and didn't speak, Ling Chen said: "There is Miss Lao Yunman to help me get some cinnabar." ”
As long as she doesn't guess, Yun Man responded: "How much?" Yun Man came to watch the monster hunt this time, and he didn't have much money on him, so he was a little sad at this time, worried that the money was not enough, but the relationship between her and Xu Muan was barely good, and if it really didn't work, it should be okay to borrow a little credit for the time being.
Yun Man had a lot of thoughts in his heart at this time, his expression was also very commanding, Ling Chen's eyes were reluctant to blink, he was a little trance for a while, and now the living person was standing in front of him, the joy and sorrow were different from the past, but it was reassuring, but when he thought of Xu Mu'an, he was still a little angry, and just said: "Look how much he is willing to give." ”
Ling Chen's attitude was really a little strange, and Yun Man didn't want to ask too much, so he had to go to Dr. Xu, who he thought was easier to get along with, to ask for cinnabar.
How do you know that when Dr. Xu heard Yun Man's words, he frowned: "What?!" It was rare to see Dr. Xu's temper so high, but it made Yun Man move back a small step, not knowing what was wrong.
She was frightened by Dr. Xu's attitude, and hesitated to ask, "Is cinnabar very expensive?"
Xu Mu'an also knew that he had just lost his temper, so he smiled a little embarrassedly at this moment: "It's not that I mean it, it's just that although cinnabar can be used as medicine, it is a big poison, and if you are not careful, the consequences will be unimaginable, so I am afraid that I will have to explain this matter to Lingchen Daoist." This reason sounds like this, but when I think about it, I think something is wrong.
Yun Man obviously felt that the previous atmosphere was a little wrong, for fear that the two of them would quarrel as soon as they met, and today the demon removal thing was over, and he hesitated: "This is not necessary, don't they all say that you need cinnabar to draw charms, as long as you don't get it in your mouth, it's fine, right?"
Xu Mu'an naturally saw that she had some scruples, and she didn't know what Ling Chen was talking nonsense in front of the other party, so she just smiled and comforted Yun Man and said: "Be careful, Ling Chen and I have been friends for many years, Miss Yunman don't have to worry, do it here, wait for us in a while." ”
After saying this, Xu Muan got up and hurriedly turned to the backyard, and even in order to speed up, as soon as he came out of Yunman's sight, the whole person turned into a shallow silver light, and instantly moved from the door to Ling Chen's room, directly pinched Ling Chen's neck with one hand, and pressed him against the wall: "What do you mean?"
