Chapter 274: The Old Devil Who Loves Moonlight
Hearing him say this, I naturally had the confidence to glare at the shopkeeper fiercely.
"Don't try to fool me into wiping the moon shadow for you!"
Jie Ji ......
The old man's shoulders shrugged even more, "In that case, then ask the gentleman to go over and fetch it." ”
He stepped out of the way, his glowing eyes staring in the direction of the well, as if fascinated by the moon shadow.
Ye Dingxi glanced at me, walked forward, and when he stood at the mouth of the well, he suddenly lowered his eyes and smiled, "Sure enough, it is an excellent moon shadow, and there is no such beautiful moonlight in the world today." ”
After speaking, he leaned over and stretched out his arm, poked the wooden spoon into the well water and took out a little, the water surface did not fluctuate at all during the whole process, and Ye Dingxi did not seem to be affected in any way, his movements were calm and natural.
When he poured the moon shadow into the palm of his hand, a wonderful scene appeared.
The faint moonlight bloomed with an incomparably gentle and tranquil halo, turning into a small round ball, which was suspended in Ye Dingxi's hand, like a small glowing bulb, but the light source in it came from the moon, I have to say, it was really beautiful, and it was even more amazing and moving than when I looked up at the moon.
On the side, the shopkeeper was really stunned.
He looked at the mouth of the well for a while, and then at Ye Dingxi, his dark green eyes were like fireflies flickering in the thick fog just now, looking at his surprised and unbelievable expression, I dare to conclude that there must be something strange set up at the mouth of the well, specifically to tempt the people who came to take the moon shadow to fall in, but it's a pity......
Ye Dingxi seems to be immune.
"Why is this so?" the shopkeeper muttered.
Ye Dingxi smiled lightly, held the little moon and weighed it in the palm of his hand a few times, and said, " Legend has it that more than 100 years ago, there was a young man in the demon world who liked moonlight very much, and even went to the Guanghan Palace in Thirty-three Days City to seek Yuehua, but unfortunately his strength was insufficient, and the strength disparity between immortals and demons was huge, and the young man was beaten down in the mortal world and lost his original appearance, so he could only hide in Liuli City to take refuge, but what no one knew was that the young man did not hesitate to risk ruining his appearance and cultivation, and stole a piece of Yuehua to hide in his stomach. ”
When Ye Dingxi said this, the shopkeeper suddenly trembled, it felt like touching the electric door, and his whole body trembled violently, "You, how do you know?!"
"Oh, this ......"
Ye Dingxi took the moon back into his arms, turned around, looked at him with a smile and said: "I still know a lot about the things that have left the city, but the clearest thing is the 'moon charm' on your well, as long as the person who takes the moon shadow approaches, they will see the fairy of Guanghan Palace dancing in the moonlight, and they are fascinated by its dancing, and they can't help but sink to the bottom of the well, but so?"
"You, you, you ......" The shopkeeper was completely stunned, pointed at Ye Dingxi with a trembling hand, and stammered: "Where did you come from? Why do you know so much about Exile City, you ...... Who the hell are you?!"
Ye Dingxi didn't intend to answer the old man's question, he turned around and walked back towards us, and said in a flat tone: "Let's go, we still have a lot of things to collect, don't waste time here." ”
I nodded, "Okay, let's go." ”
Anyway, I don't have a good impression of this old man, so it's better to get out of here as soon as possible.
However, the old man suddenly jumped to his feet in a hurry, "Don't go!
I saw his teeth and claws, and couldn't help but sneer: "Shopkeeper, what's wrong with this? Small business, Tong Su is not deceitful, isn't this what you said? How is it now, and you want to destroy this sales contract? But don't forget, this is the exile city, once you do something that violates the rules, the price is very serious~"
The old man froze in place, his arm still stopped in mid-air, and glared at me fiercely: "You, you...... Hmph, just take this inch of Moon Shadow and go! I'd like to see if you who want to go to Trench Hell can collect all those things! If not, I can still find a way to get you back and wipe the Moon Shadow!"
Looking at his angry appearance, I don't know why, I suddenly remembered another old man, Luo Wenyu.
At one time, he seemed to be jumping around in front of me, but unfortunately he was destroyed by Zhong Kui's soul later, and he could no longer be reincarnated, let alone know the past life that his heart wanted to remember.
Ye Dingxi didn't seem to take the threat of the shopkeeper to heart at all, and even I doubted whether he had beaten or not
Open your ears to listen.
In short, he took my hand, gestured to Zhu Yan with his eyes, and led everyone through the thick fog, and after a few steps, we seemed to have left the mountain, but strangely, we did not return to the ancient town when we first entered the exile city.
Instead...... In the middle of a parched wasteland!
I don't know if you've ever seen this kind of wasteland, full of cracks, pieces of dry soil like irregularly shaped lattices, the narrowest cracks are a finger wide, as far as the eye can see, like thousands of large spider webs falling on the land at the same time, dividing the ground into countless small clods.
The yellow sand fluttered in the wind, almost like the sky in this place, as far as the eye could see, dim and lightless.
"How did we get here?"
If it weren't for the white mist emitted by Bai Ze's body as a protective shield, I'm afraid that in a moment, all of us would be blown into yellow sand sculptures.
"Auntie, look, there's a guy over there......" Seventeen leaned over and pointed to a small dark figure not far to our left.
Although it was less than ten meters away, because of the yellow sand blocking the view, the black shadow looked very blurry, and it was probably possible to know that it should be a living one, curled up and squatting on the ground, and I didn't know what it was doing, but looking at the action, it looked like I had been squatting for a long, long time.
Isn't it playing with mud?
I was amused by the thoughts that popped up in my own mind.
On the side, Zhu Yan asked, "Lord, is it past now?"
"Wait a little longer?" Ye Dingxi replied.
I felt strange and asked, "There is wind and sand everywhere here, but that little black shadow is a living one, should we go to him and ask for directions?"
"Don't worry, the wind and sand will stop in a few minutes, and it's not too late for us to wait for the wind to calm down. ”
Hearing him say this, I was even more curious.
"Ye Dingxi, you honestly explain, why do you know this Exile City so carefully, such as the origin of the old man's Moon Shadow, and the setting called 'Moon Charm', why does it have no reaction to you, and ...... And the wind and sand here, you can even tell exactly when it stops......"
