Chapter 40: Awakening from a Dream
"How about forming this room with us?"
The invitation of the past seemed to be coming back in front of him at this moment, and the figure of the young man gradually blurred, and Xiaoying felt like he had fallen into the abyss before he had time to listen to his answer.
The fear of falling made her panic, and she struggled to move her arms, and when she thought she was really going to "free fall", her hands were suddenly wrapped in cold air.
Xiaoying shuddered for a moment, slowly opened her eyes, and the whiteness of her eyes made her shine slightly, but when she touched the clasped hands, she subconsciously roared: "Bai Yi Mo laughs at you bastard, who let you freeze me!" ”
Withdrawing his hand, the white-clothed Mo Xiao lowered his eyes, quickly raised his head again, and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you like this for a long time, you have become a resentful spirit, can you still feel cold?" ”
"Just your hands, who you hold freezes." Xiaoying's unkind comment.
The white-clothed Mo smiled instead of being angry, he hadn't been treated like this for three years, since the city lord's mansion sent the news of the death of the young lord of the shadow, the anger here was all taken away by the heavens.
Now Xiaoying's fearless eyes reminded him of the time he had been, it had become a dream of the past, and now that everyone had woken up, he wanted to see what path Xiaoying would guide them to.
Suddenly reaching out to touch the forehead of Mo Xiao in white clothes, Xiaoying asked seriously: "Are you sick?" ”
"You're sick." Unceremoniously slapped her hand away, and the white-clothed Mo smiled and pretended to retort angrily.
Grinning, Xiaoying said as a matter of course: "You're not sick, why do you keep giggling?" ”
"......" Does he really have a giggle?
Unnaturally raised his hand and touched his face, Bai Yi Mo glared at Xiaoying with a smile, you know, if he is placed here in the Phantom City, he will definitely make the teahouse full of customers.
Turning her head to hide her snicker, Xiaoying opened the subject and asked, "What about the two of them?" ”
"I rushed to collect medicine." Bai Yi Mo replied with a smile.
Xiaoying's dream has been done for more than a day, and the two brothers have been guarding her day and night, and the white clothes are so smiling that they can't bear it, so they have to break them away.
"When did you become interested in medicine?" Little Shadow's dark eyes gurgled and rolled.
The two brothers are among the best medical geniuses, if it is an ordinary medicinal material, they should have been prepared, the medicine that Mo Xiao in white asked them to go out to collect must be very peculiar, otherwise they would have come back a long time ago.
Facing her gaze, Bai Yi Mo Xiao immediately knew what she meant, and did not answer her question directly, he reminded with a serious expression: "Your identity, it's best not to have anything to do with the two of them." ”
"Why?" Xiaoying frowned incomprehensibly.
Without answering her, the white-clothed Mo smiled and got up and walked to the door, and after making sure that there was no one around the house, he said to Xiaoying: "The Great Elder of the Zero Clan should be looking for your whereabouts, if he finds out that you have stayed here, it will definitely affect them." ”
"Zero? Have I offended them? Shadow's brow tightened.
Her dream had already woken up, and in that dream, only the scene where she knew Mo Xiao and Qianji in white was reproduced, and she still couldn't remember a single trace of the memories of the Zero Clan.
Thinking of her experience in the Murky Place, Xiaoying wanted to know more and more what kind of existence the Zero Clan was during her lifetime.
"You didn't offend them." You're just in love with someone you shouldn't. Bai Yi Mo Xiao added the latter sentence in his heart.
The memories that have long been overshadowed by sadness and resentment are like dreams, and sometimes they can't even remember them clearly.
If she could, Mo Xiao in white really hoped that Xiaoying would never remember anything about the Zero Clan, so that she might not be sad again.
"I haven't offended them, why is the Great Elder of the Zero Clan looking for me?" Xiaoying asked.
It can be seen from the eyes of Mo Xiao in white clothes that he is lying, so Xiaoying wants to know the truth of the matter even more.
Afraid that he would be in a hurry to say something, Bai Yi Mo smiled and glanced at the blue sky outside the house, and said evasively: "If it's okay, leave here quickly, I believe that the ghost monarch should be in a hurry." ”
"Ahem, this...... Hey, where are you going? Xiaoying wanted to explain, but when she saw that Mo Xiao in white was leaving, she hurriedly rushed over and grabbed his sleeve.
She finally remembered him, instinctively not wanting him to go, for fear that he would disappear like this, it felt like when she first met him, always worried that he would not want to make her a friend.
"After going out for so long, you have to go home, since you think of me, you should think of this time, and remember that Qianji will never manage it kindly when I leave here." Bai Yi Mo smiled helplessly.
Nodding approvingly, Xiaoying laughed sullenly, and the memory that suddenly flashed in her mind made her heart full of joy.
While she wasn't paying attention, Mo Xiao in white immediately fled, and when Xiaoying found out, he was already halfway back here.
He didn't think about whether Xiaoying would leave the village as soon as he said it, anyway, he and Qianji had already released words in the City Lord's Mansion that time, and whoever dared to hurt Xiaoying would be an enemy here.
I believe that there is a book of the dead following Xiaoying, no matter who it is and what method is used to harm Xiaoying, he and Qianji will get the news.
I didn't know what he was thinking, Xiaoying was still in the house at the moment, and after waiting for a long time to see the brothers and sisters come back, she was bored and went out of the house for a walk.
Seeing the figures of Yan Lao and Xiao Xun from a distance, she first thought about rushing up to greet Xiao Xun, but after thinking about it carefully, she finally chose to hide to see the situation.
Yan Lao and Xiao Xun seemed to have some dispute, but Xiao Xun crossed his waist with one hand and pointed at Yan Lao with the other, and roared with anger on his face: "Dead old man, why do you care about me?" ”
"Just because I am your master." Elder Yan replied as a matter of course.
Looking at his thin face, Xiao Xunqi's teeth itched, she didn't forget that she never thought of worshipping this old man as a teacher, he kept pestering her, and she became his apprentice inexplicably.
Although Yan Lao is not like other masters, he will hide his own stunts privately, as long as Xiao Xun wants to learn, he will teach him seriously, but his purpose of cultivating Xiao Xun so seriously makes Xiao Xun disagree.
Just think about it, how can a master cultivate apprentices, just so that apprentices can kill themselves.
"Why do you want me to kill you?" Xiao Xun has always wanted to ask this sentence, but he has never had the courage to ask.
Expecting that she would ask this question, Yan Lao replied calmly: "Only by killing me can you prove that you are stronger than me." ”
He is already old, and the development space he has learned all his life is naturally not as broad as Xiao Xun's, but Xiao Xun's ideas are too simple in his opinion, and the easiest thing in this world to get rid of is to kill.
"Why should I be better than you?" Xiao Xun turned his head away, unwilling to look at Yan Lao's face again.
Sighing lightly, as if he had seen through Xiao Xun's heart, Yan Lao rarely put away his serious expression, and for the first time he reached out and touched Xiao Xun's head like an elder doting on a junior.
Xiaoying, who was hiding, thought that they would not say anything more, and just as she was about to leave, she heard Yan Lao's low and sure voice: "You will stand at the peak of rumors in the future." ”
Since the existence of the Seven Cities, there have been countless stories made by rumors, but every celebrity at the peak of rumors must have extraordinary abilities.
Those so-called celebrities, even if they were Yan Lao's strength in his heyday, did not dare to compare with them.
His words made Xiao Xun stunned on the spot.
In her glassy eyes, the strange brilliance that flashed made the little shadow in the dark frightened, thinking of what Xiao Xun had said in the woods, she really hoped that one day, Xiao Xun would also exist in the words of the storyteller of the Seven Cities.
"Master, then why are you still preventing me from going to the Netherworld?" Yan Lao's actions made Xiao Xun feel warm, but she still couldn't understand Yan Lao's approach.
Shaking his head helplessly, Elder Yan's eyes looked in the direction where the Netherworld City was located, and after a long time, he said: "The city lord of Netherworld City does not welcome outsiders, not to mention your special identity, and Netherworld City has not been peaceful recently, so ......"
"When will the city for the ghosts to live be too peaceful?" Without waiting for Yan Lao to finish speaking, Xiao Xun found the loophole in his words.
Xiaoying in the shadows nodded approvingly, and before he had time to come up with a compliment, Yan Lao scolded sharply: "Don't think too simply, people who are familiar with the teahouse here know that Qianji Gongzi doesn't like the attention of others, in order to let others ignore him, he has never been here, and now he visits the Netherworld with a high-profile visit, there must be someone in the Netherworld who has offended him." ”
Others may not have to worry, with the personality of the city lord of Netherworld, he will definitely not let people bully the Phantom Spirit in Netherworld, but in the face of Phantom Rin, who has to give three points to Qianji, Netherworld has no way to stop Qianji's anger.
And after seeing Mo Xiao and Xiaoying in white, Yan Lao was even more worried, it was inevitable that Xiao Xun had an accident, and the best way was naturally to forbid her to go to Netherworld.
"Someone offended Qianji?" Hearing the news, Xiaoying's face was full of shock.
Regardless of whether she regains her memory of Qianji before her death, the boy who came to the cemetery to worship her every July, she remembers it very clearly.
That person doesn't have an eye-catching appearance, and he doesn't deliberately attract people's attention, if it weren't for the problem with his head, no one should take the initiative to offend him.
Of course, neither she nor Yan Lao knew that offending Xiaoying was more likely to cause Qianji's anger than offending Qianji, after all, in the heart of the young man who liked to be ignored the most, Xiaoying was the only person he was willing to protect with his life.
didn't argue with Yan Lao anymore, Xiao Xun walked away silently, Xiao Ying hesitated, she didn't chase it out, she thought of what Mo Xiao said when she left, it was better to leave quietly than to say hello and then leave.
She had forgotten about her holiday with the White Bone Lady before, but now that she remembers, she naturally doesn't want to make trouble for everyone.
So when the brothers finally collected the medicine and returned home, the people who were thinking about it had already left here.
They searched for a long time, and after making sure that Xiaoying really didn't say goodbye, the junior brother asked in frustration: "Senior brother, are we not very bad, so bad that we are not qualified to be her friends." ”
Seeing the injured expression of the senior brother, the senior brother comforted: "Maybe she has something urgent." ”
"Then she should come back, I'll wait here, if she comes back, I will let her see me first." The oath of the junior and the younger brother is solemn.
