Chapter 3: The Human World
The world is far different from Penglai, and a heavy rain fell at night, which washed away the hustle and bustle and dust.
After rushing overnight, I saw a few small villages.
When Xiao Li arrived in the world, she hid her meager mana, trying her best to look like a civilian.
Perhaps it was nearly noon, and the sun began to burn. Xiao Li pulled the straw hat that shaded the sun, and when she caught a glimpse of a tea house, she hurriedly ran over.
The table was an unpolished stump, with several porcelain bowls and many thin strips like branches. Tie a linen cloth to the tall trunk of a tree and cast a shade.
As soon as she sat down, a child with pigtails hurriedly ran over and asked enthusiastically, "What does my sister want to eat?"
Xiaoli twisted the child's round little face: "You can do business with such a small doll?"
The little boy smiled innocently: "My father and mother went to the city and bought me maltose."
Xiao Li looked left and right, and there were very few guests, but there was a strange person sitting not far from her. Seeing that the figure was a man, covering his face with a hat, and he was still wrapped in layers of clothes on such a hot day, she felt sweaty when she looked at it.
The man seemed to notice her gaze and tilted his head slightly to look at her. When their eyes met, Xiao Li was startled and hurriedly turned her head.
With her mana, she can't detect whether this person is a demon or an immortal, and she can't afford to mess with such a strange person at all, if he doesn't like himself, he can dry himself without effort.
So he laughed dryly and said to the little boy, "Just drink some water." She untied the fish skin water bladder around her waist, and then took out a bright pearl from her waist and handed it to the child, "Please help me fill it with water, this bead will be played with for you." ”
The boy took the water bladder with one hand and the pearl with hesitation with the other. Asked in a low voice, "Will it be expensive?" My mother said that you can't take other people's things for nothing. ”
Xiaoli felt that this child was very well-behaved and sensible, "I eat your food, and I should pay the bill." ”
The little boy turned around and ran towards the tea house, "Sister, you wait, I'll make you something to eat." ”
Xiao Li shouted that he shouldn't, so he had to give up. It was eerily silent, except for the sound of cicadas crashing into the eardrums. The strange man seemed to have no intention of leaving, and she stiffened her body, not daring to say a word.
Bean-sized sweat soaked from his forehead.
She wiped her sweat stiffly and said to herself, "It's too hot......"
But she heard the sound of laughter behind her, and when she turned around, she saw that it was a couple, both dressed in coarse cloth. But the village woman was born extraordinarily beautiful, and her body was as soft as if it had no bones, and it was almost attached to her husband.
The closer you get, the more bloody you become.
This kind of origin, this kind of taste, is either refined or strange. Xiao Li is thinking about whether to take action to subdue the demon, after all, there is a human child here, if he leaves like this, this monster will not swallow his life alive. But pride was born in an instant, and as soon as she made eye contact with the woman, she shrank her neck.
Looking at the situation, it is estimated that she is not patient. If you can't be patient, you should maintain the consciousness that you can't have, wipe the soles of your feet clean, and slip when you see the cracks.
At this moment, a cold light suddenly appeared, and before Xiao Li could see clearly, the strange man before stabbed the couple with a sword.
She was dazzled by this sword light, and was also blinded by the strange man's demeanor, and sighed: "Good swordsmanship!"
But she didn't want a spiritual power to hit her through the rare wind, and she could pass by, and a strand of hair was shaved off.
Xiao Li touched the rest of her hair, and immediately had the eyesight to see it, and slipped into the tea house without any interest, and she didn't dare to come out of the atmosphere. If the master makes a move, the pawn should do his duty to applaud.
Before the strange man's sword could pierce it, the village woman turned into green smoke and rose into the air. Her husband directly took the blade with his hand, and when his flesh and blood touched the weapon, there were sparks.
The woman smiled with some dissatisfaction: "The Taoist is chasing fast, you and I have no grievances, why bother forcing each other everywhere?" Kill us, leaving my children alone, and the Taoist can bear it? ”
Xiao Li was shocked, these two monsters turned out to be the parents of the little boy, which ...... How can two youkai give birth to one......
The strange man didn't seem to hear her words, and the long sword was a little, and thousands of sword shadows appeared, with a cold and murderous aura, pointing directly at the couple.
The two of them did not despise it, turned around to dodge, but it was difficult to resist the sword light, and there were many knife cuts on their bodies, and blood was constantly dripping.
Xiao Li understood that these two monsters were not the opponents of the weirdos.
When they were fighting, they heard the voice of the little boy: "Sister, I made delicious glutinous rice dumplings."
Xiaoli secretly said that it is not good, if you don't come out early or late, is it blood mold that has poured eight lifetimes?
I saw that the village woman rushed over and hugged the child, three steps and two steps, but the white and tender fingers gave birth to a blade, against the child's back, although it was crying but with a triumphant smile, "The Taoist can't let my family go?" ”
The child didn't know what was going on, and he was so frightened that he began to cry.
The strength of the strange man's subordinates was reduced a little, obviously because he was worried about the child, and did not directly kill the killer.
Xiaoli stood aside, her posture was very awkward, neither advancing nor retreating. The banshee glanced at her, then turned her head and joined the fight with the child in one hand and the other with the blade in the other.
She had a feeling that she had been discriminated against from beginning to end. So that pride somehow came out again.
She watched the scene in silence.
The banshee took the opportunity to climb onto the strange man's body, his fangs protruding, leaving two bloody holes in his shoulders, and Sensen's breath of corrosion.
Xiao Li didn't see it clearly, it seemed that it was only for a second, and the male demon kept his fanged mouth and face, his head separated, and his head rolled far away, unwillingly opening his eyes.
Seeing this, the banshee screamed like crazy, the strange man broke her left arm with a sword, and the child was free, Xiao Li hurriedly rushed over to pick up the child, and gave the banshee a palm, and hit her back a few steps, Xiao Li was afraid that she would react, and quickly hid aside.
The strange man didn't look at Xiao Li the whole time, and when the banshee was distracted, the sword light was constricted between the blades, as if it was just a leaf falling, and the banshee's head was also cut off. Xiao Li was dumbfounded, and the child's heart-rending cry was unheard. She has lived in Penglai for a long time, and although she doesn't know the depth of time, she can feel that the spiritual power of this strange person is by no means a mortal.
The strange man took out a porcelain bottle from his bosom and poured powder on the corpses of the two goblins, and the corpses burned with a spontaneous ignition, and there were no ashes left. The little boy was stunned by the burning corpse with his head upturned, and lay in Xiao Li's arms, his hands and feet half hanging down.
She shuddered.
But when she saw the strange man walking towards her, Xiao Li closed her eyes. After a long time, he only felt a loosening in his arms, he took the child away, covered his forehead with his hand, and the pale yellow halo was rendered.
"The roe deer on the demon list steals children as meat shields and eats babies." The strange man's voice was cold, "I've erased this child's memory, don't worry about it. ”
Xiao Li opened her eyes at this time, only to see that the tea house had turned into smoke and dispersed, and there were only a few dead tree stumps in place, and even the pastries in the bowl were bloody carrion.
She felt a chill in her heart, the snack that the child brought her just now turned out to be this...... So he tentatively said: "This kid is also a monster?"
The strange man said in a cold tone: "No."
Xiao Li frowned: "That ......"
He only glanced at it: "It's just a trick, and I deceived the children together in order to create murder."
