Chapter 54: The Mysterious Boy
Qiao Xi always eats slowly, but seriously, as a monster, the amount of food is a floating cloud, so the onlookers were stunned to see this undoubtedly very slender young man eat a large bowl of ramen cleanly.
After eating, Qiao Xi touched his stomach and breathed a long sigh of relief, his happy expression was like a little kitten basking in the sun, and the inexplicable eyes of the young man who had just walked into the store flickered slightly.
Qiao Xi touched his sleeve and found a few copper coins - the style of Japan in this period was actually very similar to that of the Tang Dynasty, and the currency was also issued by the Tang Dynasty.
He handed the copper coin to the shopkeeper and was about to wander the street for a while to find a place to rest, but before he could get out of the shop, he was blocked by a teenager.
The boy looked fifteen or sixteen years old, not tall or short, neither fat nor thin, his dark purple hair was tied into a high ponytail, he was wearing a black bathrobe, his expression looked very indifferent, and his blue pupils were very clear at a glance, but he did not contain any emotion.
INTERVIEWER It's also strange to talk about this world, people's hair color and eye color are basically all strange colors, but no one thinks it's abnormal.
The two of them faced each other at the door of the store, Qiao Xi raised his head, glanced at the young man, and raised his eyebrows slightly.
The young man was stunned for a moment, one hand was still holding the curtain, and his mouth squirmed slightly, but finally he only looked down at him indifferently, and then moved a step to the side.
Seeing this, Qiao Xi bent his eyes and showed him a very bright smile, said "thank you" and passed by the young man.
The boy was stunned again in place.
- He actually subconsciously made way for others? Why?
The young man subconsciously looked back at Qiao Xi, who had already left.
Qiao Xi carried the burden on his back, and looked at the past with a probe, but he could feel the vitality and vitality of his body just from the back, which made the young man's pupils gradually deepen.
Qiao Xi took a few steps, and finally cared a little about this young man with a very strange breath, so he couldn't help but look back and glance again, and it happened that the young man was also looking at him.
Qiao Xi was stunned for a moment in the empty eyes of the young man, and subconsciously gave him a smile again.
When the young man saw him smiling, he turned his head very indifferently and went into the shop.
Qiao Xi stood there and scratched his cheeks, feeling very magical.
He grew so big, he hadn't seen anyone who turned around indifferently when he saw his smile.
He thought about it, and couldn't help but chuckle again.
Qiao Xi didn't notice that a gust of wind blew up the curtain hanging at the door of the store, and the indifferent young man's gaze fell on him through the floating curtain.
He laughed enough, shook his head, and began to sloer around again.
When it was dusk, he found a random family, gave some copper coins, and rested for the night.
When it was dawn the next day, he continued in the direction pointed out by the family where he had lived yesterday.
But what he didn't expect was that on the mountain road, he actually ran into the boy he met in the store yesterday.
The young man was still alone, walking step by step on the mountain road with no one in his hands, Qiao Xi stared at his back, and couldn't help but blink his eyes with some doubts.
In fact, there is no one on this mountain, and he himself wants to visit the mountain god to see the scenery on the mountain, but this young man ......
Qiao Xi touched his chin, and there was some curiosity in his heart.
After thinking about it, he hid his breath.
ββAfter the battle with Fengsheng, he has consciously trained his actual combat skills, and his opponents are all ready-made.
After years of practice with Buyue, he has improved a lot, and his control of aura has become much more sophisticated.
At this moment, he fused his aura with the grass and trees in the mountains, and he was far behind the young man whose aura was obviously unusual, and he was not even noticed.
He followed him for a long time, and the young man's steps were always very calm, but the strange thing was that the young man only took a turn on the mountain, and then went down the mountain again without doing anything.
Standing at the top of the mountain, Qiao Xi was a little puzzled.
- Did he find out?
Impossible, right?
He frowned and revealed his figure, and a youkai who was watching the clouds next to him was suddenly startled.
"Big Grown?"
Qiao Xi tilted his head and glanced at the little monster.
The monster was huge, like a large piece of snack, with a big, round eye on the top half, looking at itself in horror and fear.
Its eyes were different, and Qiao Xi touched his chin again and pondered.
- Did he become terrible as soon as he went out?
You know, his smile is gentle and praised by all the youkai in the shrine.
However, this time, the young man first showed calm and indifference.
Forget it, it may be that the young people are used to being expressionless and not moved by foreign objects.
As a result, I met a simple-minded monster at this time, and its reaction was also surprising.
Qiao Xi thought for a while, and couldn't help asking, "Are you afraid of me?" β
The monster shuddered, looked at the expression on Qiao Xi's face and shook his head violently: "No, no!" β
Qiao Xi raised her eyebrows: "Then what are you shaking?" β
The monster's big eyes were about to cry, and he was about to burst into tears, Qiao Xi was silent for a moment, feeling that it might not be good for him to be entangled in this problem, so he didn't talk nonsense, and went straight to the point: "Don't shake, do you know what that young man came up to do just now?" β
I didn't expect that youkai to tremble even more when he heard this question.
"I don't know, I don't know!"
It stared at Qiao Xi and retreated, until it was some distance away from Qiao Xi, and then turned around and ran.
ββ¦β¦β
Qiao Xi looked at its disappearing figure from a distance, and his mood was very complicated for a while.
For a long time, he spun around in place, indicating that he was really unhappy.
Throwing the burden to the ground, Qiao Xi sat cross-legged on a flat stone, looking at the white clouds in the sky and began to be stunned.
After a long time, the monster that had just run away appeared behind the tree, stared at Qiao Xi for a long time, and then cautiously approached him, but it was still not very close, and only stood five steps away from him.
"You, won't you eat me?"
Qiao Xi glanced back at him, and then raised his eyebrows: "Oh? It's weird, why should I eat you? β
The monster was stunned for a moment, the emotion in one big eye looked very obvious, looked at Qiao Xi again, and approached Qiao Xi again, this time three steps away from him.
