CHAPTER XXII

Yan Shu thought that he would definitely guess that he was a demon, but he never expected to guess so much. He was stunned for a moment, and then he was slightly relieved when he looked at the side face with a smile.

Seeing his stunned expression, he couldn't help but smile, and said with a smile: "Yan Shu, you don't think I really don't know anything, do you?" ”

Yan Shu was dumbfounded: "I really didn't know you knew so much...... When did you know I was a demon? ”

"Hmm...... Actually, I guessed it a long time ago. As he walked, he thought carefully, "At first, I did think that you were just a Jianghu man who knew how to do strange arts and martial arts. But on the day Chun Qi was released from the coffin, you broke the magic circle of Qiu Ming, Qiu Ming has hundreds of years of cultivation, if you are a mortal, it is unlikely that you can solve it, right? ”

Yan Shu followed her steps, and struggled a little unwillingly: "That...... Can't it prove that I must be a demon? ”

Tilt Xu nodded and said, "Yes, this really can't be proven. But from that day on, Qiu Ming's address to you suddenly became 'senior'. I think it was about that day that she realized that you were a demon, and your cultivation was so deep and unfathomable that she had to call you 'senior'. ”

Yan Shu was helpless and explained: "She called me senior because she finally discovered that I also had the breath of Li Sang Mountain on that day. Lisang Mountain is a demon mountain, which is my hometown and her hometown. From the first time I saw her, I felt the breath of Li Sang Mountain in her, and I knew that she also came from there, and in terms of age and cultivation, it was not an exaggeration for her to call me an old-timer. ”

Qian Xu didn't expect that the two of them still had this relationship, so he let out an "oh" in surprise, and said: "Later, Chunqi ran away, and you cast a spell to find it back." At that time, you avoided me and refused to let me watch you cast spells, in fact, I was afraid that I would see that you were a demon, right? Including later you only pen annealed sea...... Let's not mention the demonic energy that inadvertently leaked when you amplified your moves, that fire was done by the thousand-year-old fox's Neidan, and you easily solved it, doesn't it make it clear that you are an old monster for thousands of years? ”

Yan Shu couldn't cry or laugh, and said aggrievedly: "Don't say I'm an old monster...... At that time, the situation was critical, and there was nothing else to worry about. He said a little deflated, "I thought I was hiding my breath well." ”

Seeing his appearance, he couldn't help but smile, and said with relief: "After my cultivation this month, I finally have a little cultivation, and I can see a little demonic energy." On weekdays, I can see the demonic energy around Qiu Ming and Yan Yan, but I can't see you alone, which means that you still have a good breath. ”

Yan Shu silently closed himself in his heart for a while, and then asked, "Then, how did you know that I was Bai Ze?" There are very few Bai Ze in the world, I don't believe you have seen anything else. ”

Mentioning this, he said solemnly: "That's nature, Bai Ze is an ancient divine beast, how could I have the honor to see it before." The words were sparse, and the corners of his mouth curled up again.

He glanced at him a few times, and suddenly reached out and grabbed his hand.

Yan Shu was taken aback: "Oh! You, what are you doing? ”

Tilt Xu held his hand tightly and smiled, "How?" Do you feel what I'm thinking? ”

Yan Negligence felt a suffocating sense of depression along the hand game held by the two of them towards his heart, and he was suddenly startled and let go of his hand suddenly.

Qian Xu couldn't help laughing, laughed several times before stopping, forcibly suppressed the rising corners of his mouth, and endorsed seriously: "It is rumored that there is a divine beast Bai Ze, who can speak people's mouths, understand the feelings of all things, and know the appearance of all things in the world." ”

Yan calmed down, and said with a slight annoyance: "It turns out that you have long known that I can perceive the emotions of all things. Then what were you thinking about just now, so depressed, I felt it and scared me. ”

He said calmly: "It's just some of my past memories." Seeing that Yan Shu's face was not very good, she quickly changed the topic and said, "Bai Ze is really powerful, and he was born with the ability to understand the feelings of all things." A few times ago, when you held my hand and said what was in my heart, I wondered if you were Bai Ze. But how rare is Bai Ze in the world, how could I happen to meet one so coincidentally? After saying that, he couldn't help laughing, and said, "But I really met one." ”

Yan Shu clenched his right hand into a fist, knocked a fist on the palm of his left hand, and said suddenly: "In this way, when I wanted to explore Chunqi's memory, didn't I expose myself in front of you?" ”

"That's right." I think you were born with the ability to 'empathize', so after so many years of cultivation, it is not too much to have more 'memories' ability. But Chunqi is now neither a human nor a ghost, and does not belong to 'everything in the world', so you naturally can't detect her memory. ”

Mentioning this, Yan Shu sighed and said: "In the past few days, I have searched all over Yaoshan and Yaohe Town, and there is no trace of Chunqi. I don't know if Su Yinghuan did something, or if the kid ran away by himself. ”

Qian Xu also sighed: "If there is fate, we will meet again." ”

The two said as they walked, and before they knew it, they had walked back to Yaohe Town from Yaoshan.

As Yan Shu walked, he put his hands behind his head, looked up at the clear blue sky, and suddenly sighed: "Tilt Xu, it turns out that you have already seen me through." ”

Tilt Xu lowered his head and smiled, and said, "Thank you for being defenseless in front of me, otherwise I wouldn't have seen it so quickly." ”

Yan Shu suddenly said proudly: "You know that I am defenseless against you. ”

"Now, you know that I am defenseless against you. ”

Yan Shuyan stopped, and so did Tilt. She was looking up at him when he lowered his eyes to look at her.

The two looked at each other and smiled, and in an instant, the world was verdant.

When I went back to drink and sleep, it was time for dinner, and there were many guests. The guys were busy, and Tan Xu and Yan Shu finally found an empty table, and the two sat opposite each other, and as soon as they sat down, the fat guy staggered over.

The fat guy folded his two little fat hands and said with a smile: "Childe, fairy girl, what do you want to eat?" Oh yes, Childe must be going for snow-frozen almond tofu, but what about Xiangu? ”

His eyes wandered around his round body, and he didn't hear what he said, so he said for her: "Let's have some dried figs first, and then serve some signature dishes." Remember, in the future, I will always serve dried figs and tofu first. ”

The fat guy said "okay" happily and hurried away. Only then did she come back to her senses, and Yan Shu asked her, "What do you see?" ”

He said, "Look at the demonic energy around him." Glancing at the nearby guys in turn, she sighed heartily, "They are really well hidden." When I first arrived, I didn't really see any of them. ”

"Awesome, right? They have lived in the town for hundreds of years, and they deal with people every day, so they have more popularity, and if you don't look closely, you can't see that they have demonic spirits. "Talking.

"Awesome." "I remember the first time they saw me, a Taoist priest, they didn't panic at all, and they talked to me very happily. Ah, and pretending that he doesn't know you at all, as if he's just a normal guest. This acting skill is very remarkable. ”

"No matter how outstanding you are, haven't you seen it?" Yan Shu said, "Speaking of which, how do you know that I am the boss of Jiumian?" ”

"Guess." "First, when I first came here, it was the road you led, it was late at night, and the road to the town was complicated, but you took me straight to Jiumian, and there was no detour; Second, I find that you are too familiar with the guys here, as if you have been reunited after a long absence; Thirdly, I have lived here for so long, and I have never seen you pay for your house, and I have seen you take a lot of money from the shopkeeper a few times. ”

Yan Shu said a few times, poured himself a cup of tea with a pot, and said, "This ...... I opened the inn, so I should take the money. ”

Leaning on the table with his two arms, leaning over slightly, he said, "I'm curious, what is your original intention in opening this inn?" ”

Yan Shu took a sip of tea, pointed to the door and said, "Tilt life, look at the street again." ”

Puzzled, he followed his fingers and saw that the streets were full of people, men and women, young and old, with different expressions.

He looked at it carefully for a while, his eyes widened, and he turned his head and asked, "Is this...... How so? ”

"Now you know why I'm going to sleep, right?" Yan Shu slowly and leisurely picked up the pot and added a cup of tea to her, Fang smiled, "In addition to my wine and sleep, there are still a lot of demons hidden in this town." But they're all little monsters who don't have much cultivation, and they just want to taste what it's like to be a human being. I opened this inn in the hope of giving them a sense of stability. He looked up at the street and said, "If you take a closer look at the street, you can see several little demons in the crowd, they are mixed in the crowd, living a life of coarse tea, light rice, firewood, rice, oil and salt, day after day, trying to live this life in such a muddy nightmare." ”

Tilt Xu was stunned when he heard this, and said, "Why? ”

"Why?" Yan Shu repeated with a smile, suddenly shook his head, and said earnestly, "Tilt, do you think it's easy to be a demon?" Demons are not human. ”

"People are born with a human body, and they only need to solve the problem of food and clothing to live, and they naturally wander between heaven and earth. But the demon is different, the demon has cultivated hard for a hundred years to gain a human body, and he has to survive the catastrophe to be qualified to live. But even so, the demon still has to keep avoiding the pursuit of Taoist priests, hiding in Tibet, worrying, and it is difficult to live happily. If you can live like a human being, stand in the sun generously, be able to do nothing, and be able to be muddy, it is already a great blessing, even if the cultivation is not high, why not? Cultivation is cultivation, cultivation is not for the sake of making a difference, but for the sake of inaction. ”

Tilting his eyes, staring at the tea in the cup, for a long time, Fang said: "Cultivation, it was originally for inaction." Suddenly, he laughed bitterly, "Yes, yes." It is a blessing to be safe and miserable for the rest of my life. Why I couldn't see this before? ”

Yan was silent for a while, and reached out to touch her head.

At this time, the fat guy and the thin guy came over with the dishes, and they whispered to Tilt Xu: "Hey, guess what kind of demons they are?" ”

Tilt Xu was really distracted by this question, and guessed: "The thin guy seems to be a turtle...... As for the fat guys, it should ...... It's a pig, right? ”

The fat guy didn't know anything, so he came over with the dish and asked earnestly, "Would you like to try the pork stewed vermicelli?" ”

Tilt: "......"

Before Yan Shu could laugh, the short guy who spoke in tongues came out of nowhere and gave the fat guy a stick: "You eat pork again!" Eat pork again! ”

The fat guy was taken coldly, and when he looked back and saw that it was him, he was shocked and angry: "Where did you come from?!" I didn't call you to eat pork! ”

The short man was so angry that he jumped up and hit him: "Let me see it!" Or! ”

The thin guy laughed and screamed next to him, and the food in his hand almost shook Yan Shu's body. It happened that the shopkeeper passed by with an abacus and said leisurely: "Ouch, hey, Wang Baxue pig is barking." ”

Yan Shu smiled and leaned on the table, and said to him: "Now you know who the pig is, right?" ”

Tilt: "......"
