Chapter 22: Do You Still Treat Me Like a Pet?
Nanchen and Mo Qi stood at the entrance of the village at the foot of the mountain.
Mo Qi couldn't wait to enter the village, but Nanchen grabbed her.
"You don't have any mana right now, take this with you. As he spoke, he took off a flute-shaped jade pendant from his waist, the jade pendant was lustrous and translucent, and if you looked closely, there was a hint of bright red in it.
"What is this?" Mo Qi took the jade pendant and played with it in his hand, the tentacles were warm, and there seemed to be a trace of aura lingering on it.
Nanchen's eyes darkened, fleeting: "There is a trace of my blood in this jade pendant, if we are separated, I can find you with this." You don't have any mana now, and you can't break through the barrier of the Qingying Mountain and go back,"
"Oh, good. Mo Qi obediently hung the jade pendant on his waist, "That's it." Let's go!" He said and pulled Nanchen's sleeve and walked into the village.
The village of the fifteenth is very festive, the shops on the street are full of lanterns, all kinds of stalls and vendors are put on the street, food, clothing and clothing are all available, the whole street is brightly lit, so lively.
Mo Qi pulled Nanchen to walk left and right, looking at everything full of novelty.
Nanchen followed behind her, and her mood was surprisingly good.
Mo Qi pulled Nanchen to stop at a small stall selling masks, and smiled at him, "Nanchen, let's buy a mask to wear." ”
When the stall owner saw the young man and woman standing in front of his stall, he was in a trance for a moment, the man was handsome and extraordinary, the woman was bright and moving, and he had never seen such a good-looking person. The vocabulary of his life can't describe the beauty and nobility of the two people in front of him.
Nanchen had deliberately concealed the immortal aura on himself and Mo Qi, but with these two skins alone, it still couldn't help but make people's hearts ripple.
Mo Qi stretched out his hand and shook it in front of the stall owner, "Boss, boss?"
The stall owner scratched his head embarrassedly, and replied, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, the girl and the son are not from our town, and I've never seen someone like the two of them." ”
Mo Qi grinned, and said in his heart, your eyesight is good, we are immortals.
Nanchen smiled politely, "We are indeed not from this town, we are just passing through here, just in time for the Fifteenth Lantern Festival, so we came here to join in the fun." ”
The stall owner looked at Nanchen in front of him, with black hair and white clothes, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and his gestures had a sense of nobility and naturalness, although he was smiling, he had a temperament that could not be despised by others.
"That boy, you are really in a hurry, our town, there is a lantern festival every fifteen, but the lantern festival on September fifteen is different, and when the moon rises in the sky, there will be a fire dragon performance, you can take your lady to see it, hey, that's called a spectacular and beautiful!" The little vendor smiled at Nanchen and Mo Qi flatteringly.
Nanchen raised his eyebrows slightly, lady?
Looking at Mo Qi on the side, he was already smiling from ear to ear, lady? Hehe, this boss has good aesthetics! He is full of eyesight! He also speaks with people's hearts! Mo Qi gave the mask stall owner a thumbs up in his heart.
"Really, boss, I see that you are a person with aesthetic and vision, I guess you said that the beautiful and magnificent fire dragon must be very good-looking," and picked up a mask and gestured to the face, "I see that your mask is also good, the oil is exquisite, the portrayal is delicate, tonight, it will definitely sell well!"
"Hey, then I'll borrow your auspicious words. Which one do you like?" the stall owner also smiled from ear to ear, doing business, I like to hear others say that my business is good, otherwise why do you guard a stall at night, who doesn't want to go to the lantern festival and go to the lively and lively.
Mo Qi touched left and right, and finally picked a tanuki mask with a fire-like pattern and put it on his face, and raised his head to Nanchen, "I wear this, but it looks good?"
Nanchen looked down at her, because the mask covered the whole face, only two pairs of eyes could be seen, Mo Qi's eyes were very good, covering the whole face, and her eyes were surprisingly bright, like the Venus next to the sky when the dawn was not born, with a thick smile in her eyes, as if she wanted to suck people in.
"Why don't you speak, it's not good-looking?" Mo Qi tilted his head.
"Good looking. Nanchen also had a smile in his eyes, and raised his hand to pull the hair around her ear for her.
"Is it good-looking? Then I'll pick one for you too?" Mo Qi was even happier when he was recognized by Nanchen. Began to raise masks on the stalls again.
The young men and women on the street watched the two fairy-like people in the small stall carefully selecting masks, and gradually came over curiously to pick them up.
Mo Qi also picked a tanuki-style mask for Nanchen, but the pattern was ice blue water pattern, Mo Qi took it in his hand and looked left and right, feeling very satisfied.
"Boss, how much do you want these two?" Mo Qi pointed to the one he was wearing on his face and the one he was holding in his hand, and asked the boss.
The boss watched more and more people gather to choose masks, and looked at Mo Qidao with a smile, "I really borrowed your auspicious words tonight, I want to sell them, I will give these two masks to the two of you, you two wear this mask to go to the Lantern Festival, just give me a live signboard." ”
Mo Qi was not hypocritical, and hugged his fist at the boss, "Then thank you boss." After speaking, he pulled Nanchen out of the crowd gathered together.
Nanchen let her pull her to a tree full of wishing lamps, and there were some people standing sparsely under the tree, some writing wishes on the lamp, and some tiptoe to hang the lamp on the tree.
Mo Qi looked at the people around him, stood opposite Nanchen, lowered his head and fiddled with the ribbon on his mask, "Nanchen, come over a little, I'll help you put on this ......"
Nanchen bent down and brought his face closer to Mo Qi.
Mo Qi raised his head, and if he wasn't wearing a mask, he would have touched the tip of Nanchen's nose.
Mo Qi was stunned for a moment.
"What are you doing, it's not to put a mask on me. Nanchen had a thick smile in his voice, and through the mask, Mo Qi seemed to be able to feel his breath spraying on his face, and in the light of the trees, it looked so gentle and illusory.
Mo Qi looked at himself in Nanchen's eyes, as if he was still a tanuki. Feeling a little frustrated, he muttered, "Nanchen, do you still treat me as a pet?"
Nanchen didn't hear clearly, and leaned closer, "What?"
Mo Qi hurriedly took a step back, his eyes dodging, "It's nothing, it's nothing." I said you suddenly lowered your head, and I almost hit you. As he spoke, he raised his mask and put it on for Nanchen.
Mo Qi's face was very close to Nanchen's, and his hands were wrapped around Nanchen's head, and a ribbon was tied behind his head. From a distance, it looks like an intimate hug between lovers.
Mu Ling stood a street away from them, secretly clenching his fists, his nails deeply embedded in his palms.
Mo Qi put on a mask for Nanchen, raised his head and looked at the wishing lamp full of trees, "Nanchen, let's hang a wishing lantern too." ”
"Mortals make wishes with immortals, you and I are both immortals, who do you make a wish with?" Nanchen said lightly.
"Hmm...... You are a great fairy, I am a little monster, I make a wish with you. Mo Qi tilted his head to look at Nanchen and said with a smile.
"Then you don't have to hang up the lamp, what do you want to make to me? Nanchen lowered his head and looked at Mo Qi.
"Me, I haven't thought about it yet, I'll tell you when I'm done. Mo Qi turned around and stared at Nanchen, "You must be raising your eyebrows again, but there is a mask, and I can't see it, so I'll let you agree." You're a great immortal, but you can't break your word about me, a little monster. As soon as the words fell, I saw a bustle on the street, and from time to time someone in the crowd shouted, "The fire dragon is coming, the fire dragon is coming." ”
Mo Qi stood on tiptoe and looked, and while running forward, he said to Nanchen behind him, "Nanchen, Nanchen, the fire dragon is here, go quickly!"
Nanchen was just about to follow, when he suddenly felt his feet sink and he couldn't move.
Fixation technique?Hmph, carving insect skills, Nanchen broke free with a little force, but when he looked up again, where was Mo Qi's shadow.
"Xiao Qi?" Nanchen walked quickly to the street, but the crowd on the street was surging, and Mo Qi was not seen at all.
Nanchen looked at the direction of the fire dragon's parade, Mo Qi should have followed the fire dragon. Pushing aside the crowd, the meteor strode up and followed.
The fire dragon walked around the street, and finally returned to the center of the street, and the people who danced the fire dragon dismantled the fire dragon and threw each section into the sky, and the body of the fire dragon exploded in the sky with colorful fireworks. The people in the street stopped and looked up and applauded.
Nanchen walked through the crowd, but still didn't find Mo Qi.
Nanchen held his breath and stared, his fingers slammed the seal in his sleeve, and began to urge his qi to sense the blood mark in the jade pendant.
Nanchen opened his eyes and looked at the location in the east, and was surprised in his heart, how could it be? The location of Qingming Mountain is in the south of this village, why did Mo Qi go to the east? Could it be that he went in the wrong direction? The east is a dense forest, there is miasma in it, and there are often wild beasts infested, with Mo Qi's cultivation now, he is no different from an ordinary human being. There is no self-protection at all.
Thinking of this, Nanchen hid his figure, and walked towards the dense forest to the east against the wind under his feet.
A person next to him unconsciously shook twice, why did a gust of wind suddenly arise just now? I looked left and right, although it was early autumn, but in this September day, the night was a little cold, so let's go home early after watching the fireworks.
Nanchen followed the qi he sensed all the way to the depths of the dense forest, and his breath was interrupted here, but how could there be Mo Qi.
Nanchen frowned deeply, remembering the first time he saw Mo Qi, with injuries on his body, dying, and his heart jumped.
With a wave of his hand, a silver ball of light instantly flew into the air, and the entire dense forest suddenly lit up as day. Little by little, Nanchen was looking for Mo Qi's whereabouts. Suddenly stepping on a hard thing under his feet, Nanchen bent down to pick it up, his brows furrowed deeper, and a flute-shaped jade pendant lay in Nanchen's palm.
Nanchen clenched the jade pendant, and his eyes gradually darkened.
When Nanchen stood in the Mu Ling courtyard with a cold attitude, Mu Ling was sitting in the courtyard drinking tea and admiring the moon.
"Brother Nanchen, why are you here? I heard Hetong say, didn't you go to the lantern festival in the village below the mountain with Mo Qi?" Mu Ling stood up and looked at Nanchen with a surprised expression.
"Where is Mo Qi. Nanchen's aura was cold, and even the crane boy beside him had a worried expression.
"What, where is Mo Qi? Didn't Mo Qi go out with Brother Nanchen, why did you ask me instead?" Mu Ling was obviously also frightened by Nanchen's momentum, and his face was not very good-looking.
The aura around Nanchen became more and more cold, and the laurel trees in the courtyard were gradually dyed with a layer of frost.
"Benjun will ask you again, where is Mo Qi. Nanchen's voice was cold and shivering.
"Brother Nanchen, you, what's wrong with you?" Mu Ling looked frightened, tears gradually appeared in his eyes, and his voice trembled.
Nanchen approached her step by step, pulled her wrist with one hand, and stared at her with both eyes, "Mu Ling, what trick you played, you know it in your heart." I couldn't help you back then, do you think, the same thing, now, can I still tolerate you. ”
Mu Ling stared at Nanchen's eyes, the dark tide surging as if he was about to devour himself, he pulled his wrist back hard, and shed tears, "Brother Nanchen, I knew that I was confused for a while, but I have been guilty and repentant for so many years, I know that you refuse to forgive me, but you suddenly came over to tell me about Mo Qi today, although I don't know what happened, but it really has nothing to do with me!"
Nanchen snorted coldly, and let go of Mu Ling's hand as if he was disgusted, "It's better that it has nothing to do with you." Yu Ba strode away with the crane boy.
Mu Ling sat on the ground with his head down, looking extremely sad. But her expression showed no trace of sadness at all, but gently tugged at the corners of her mouth.
