Chapter 31: The Pavilion of Curiosities
Mu Ziji handed over the barbecue in his hand, "Let's eat something." And in front of her, she still maintained that movement, without any movement, just staring at the ground and watching like this.
Looking at Cao Fangxi, who was unmoved in front of him, Mu Ziji also shook his head distressedly and ate the barbecue in his hand, but it was the same as chewing wax and did not taste like he had eaten before.
The two of them stayed quietly for a long time, Mu Ziji also sat down next to her, and didn't even dare to go too far to find food for fear that she would make some crazy moves.
Xiaoyu also sat down next to Mu Ziji, and Mu Ziji, who was in a trance, turned his head to Xiaoyu and said, "Why did you come out, is the old man's illness cured?"
Hearing this, Xiaoyu's eyes dimmed a little, and her head was lowered, and she did not respond to Mu Ziji's words.
Mu Ziji looked at the lost Xiaoyu in front of him and raised his eyebrows, a bad feeling arose, and he raised Xiaoyu's lowered head to his eyes and asked eagerly: "What's wrong with the old man, what do you say." ”
Xiaoyu looked at Mu Ziji, who was eager in front of him, and slowly shook his head, and a stone hidden under the deer hair floated up in front of Mu Ziji.
"Is this the old man's space stone?" Mu Ziji held the stone floating in the air in the palm of his hand, and an indescribable discomfort permeated his heart.
Didn't the old man last until I went back after all, Mu Ziji closed his eyes and exhaled fiercely, holding the right hand holding the space stone tightly, and the next moment he opened his eyes and asked loudly: "Where is that cliff, take me back." ”
Xiaoyu shook her head, and the deer head snuggled up to Mu Ziji's body, just like in the past, it also leaned on Yu's side like this.
Mu Ziji frowned, he didn't remember the way back, and if he wanted to go back, he could only ask Xiao Hei, but Xiao Hei didn't want him to go back.
"You said there was something he left me in it, but I can't open it for the time being, and I can only use it after I break through to the Huahong Realm Spiritual Qi Advancement. ”
Mu Ziji looked at the space stone that Xiaoyu arched with his nose, and he sighed for a while, and at the same time he was full of curiosity, what did the old man leave behind, what is his current situation, is he alive or dead, and he didn't see the corpse Mu Ziji didn't want to believe the fact that Yu died.
Put away the space stone, Mu Ziji temporarily suppressed his depressed mood, since the old man gave me the stone, then there must be some considerations, and when I break through to the Huahong Realm, I will uncover it, no matter what state he is in now, I must go and see if there is a chance.
Mu Ziji, who closed his eyes again to calm down, turned his head to look at Cao Fangxi, who still didn't make any move: "Are you better, are those two people from your Cao family?"
Ms. Cho did not respond.
Mu Ziji was not surprised by this and continued: "I may, I have to leave. ”
Cao Fangxi's head turned around and glanced at Mu Ziji, then turned his head again and buried his head in his knees, and his body, which had not moved for a long time, also moved with her sobs.
Mu Ziji stood up with a complicated mood: "Why don't you follow me, don't go back, I'm going to the north, where my relatives are waiting for me." ”
"Let's go. ”
The dry voice sounded from Cao Fangxi's mouth, and there was no sunset of feelings mixed in, nor did it repeat the previous soft accents.
"I think we're all in this together." Mu Ziji's voice was interrupted.
"I'll let you go. Then he didn't wait for Mu Ziji to have any reaction. Cao Fangxi put on her robe and ran out in one direction with her hair scattered, and the previous sobbing had turned into a howling cry at this time.
Mu Ziji looked at Cao Fangxi who was far away, subconsciously took two steps but stopped, and stood hesitantly in place, he didn't know what effect he had in catching up, or what identity he used to catch up.
So, Mu Ziji turned around and slowly moved in the opposite direction, dejectedly wanting to leave the place that bothered him.
He took two steps but stopped, and the uneasiness in his heart directed him to go back.
Then, he turned around and hurried in the direction of Cao Fangxi, and the light rain beside him followed.
"Cao Fangxi, where are you?"
"Second princess, where have you been?"
"You're coming out..."
There was no news, Mu Ziji gasped and leaned against a tree, he didn't know how much strength a woman who had been seriously injured could have and where she could go in this wilderness, but he looked for two hours and still didn't see any trace of her, even if he rode on the back of Xiaoyu to patrol the air, he didn't find anything.
She seemed to have disappeared suddenly.
Mu Ziji glanced at the dense forest again, and sighed in disappointment: "I hope she can go out safely." ”
He decided to give up looking, maybe the two of them were just passers-by who met in Pingshui, and after the meeting, they had to go their separate ways, maybe there would be a chance to meet in the future, Mu Ziji thought so.
But is it really possible to meet again, Mu Ziji already has the answer in his heart, but he doesn't dare to think about it.
Mu Ziji turned back again to see the imaginary figure, and strode out for a long time, controlling the desire to turn back again many times in the process, he knew that no matter how many times he turned back, he would not see her, but in his heart he always imagined that the next time he turned around, she would appear behind him.
The lively market appeared in Mu Ziji's eyes, and it seemed that it had been a long time since he had seen such a large-scale crowd.
In the room, Mu Ziji sat cross-legged on the bed, and every time he closed his eyes, Cao Fangxi's empty eyes appeared in his mind.
Mu Ziji stood up, drank a scoop of water and sat on the bed, beside him was Xiaoyu, who had been following, as if he knew that he was in a low mood, Xiaoyu just lay quietly on the ground and did not bother.
Mu Ziji came here to ask the locals for the location, and was startled when he asked, according to the map he wrote down under the cliff, this is the middle of the Yueling Empire, and further north is the Chiyan Empire, and then north is the Extreme Ice and Snow Land, which means that Mu Ziji is now more than a country away from his destination, and the road is not safe.
Listening to the passer-by, the imperial heart of the Yueling Empire is now at war with the Chiyan Empire, and now it is forbidden for anyone to leave the territory, unless there is a special identity certificate, this is difficult for Mu Ziji, because his identity information is not recorded in any country or region, not to mention that the special certificate is extremely rare, that is to say, he cannot go north according to the official method for the time being, he can only pass through the barren mountains and mountains, the problem is again, as we all know, there are some powerful spirit beasts in the wild, and the chimpanzee before is estimated to be the lowest strength, Rao is so Mu Ziji and the two racked their brains, and they couldn't defeat it after exhaustion, as if this method doesn't work either.
Mu Ziji sat in the room of the free resting place for the samurai founded by the Yueling Empire, secretly worried, it is said that there are some escorts, as long as you give him enough money, you can let them escort you to the place you want to go, of course, if he can't solve it in an emergency, he can only run away secretly, Mu Ziji sounds unreliable at all.
It's hard for him to go back now because he has no identification, no strength, and no money, and when is it a head to live in a free room.
"It seems that we can only stay here for a while, maybe when the war subsides, we can pass, tomorrow we can find a place to get some money, otherwise we won't even have anything to eat." Mu Ziji sat on the bed and planned tomorrow's arrangement, although it is free to live here, but there is also time, the accommodation is good to say that in the wild, Mu Ziji believes that he can survive safely, but in terms of food, he can't eat barbecue every day.
After a night's rest, Mu Ziji walked out of the door with Xiaoyu and prepared to find a place to make money first.
The three big characters of the Strange Things Pavilion attracted Mu Ziji's attention, and he walked in.
"Hello, welcome to the Pavilion of Curiosities, willing to serve you, do you need any help?"
As soon as she entered, a generously and decently dressed girl stood up and greeted Mu Ziji's presence in a respectful tone.
Mu Ziji looked at his dirty clothes, to be honest, he really didn't expect that a sloppy person like himself could accept such a hospitality, and he had a lot of good feelings for this Strange Pavilion for a while.
Mu Ziji waved his hand apologetically and walked inside, this house is very large, there are large or small items on a wooden cabinet inside, and there is a small wooden sign below that has written the respective prices of these items, of course, although Mu Ziji has not seen these items, but in the wooden house, he has not seen the knowledge of these items, and he can recognize them when he sees them.
The more I looked at it, the more shocked I became, these items were all relatively valuable and rare items, although Mu Ziji felt that there was no need for them.
After appreciating, Mu Ziji beckoned to the maid beside him, although Mu Ziji had signaled that he did not need to receive him, but the maid still followed silently, and did not make a sound from beginning to end.
"Did you buy these items here?" Mu Ziji said.
The maid replied quickly without any surprise: "I will buy it, but the purchase price will be lower than the price listed above, and our inventory of some common items is sufficient, and there is no need to replenish it." ”
Mu Ziji nodded in understanding.
"Shaoxia, do you have any items that you need to sell?" said the maid.
Boy?Mu Ziji looked at the sealed sword behind him, and silently accepted this title, okay, it's the first time someone has called him that.
"Not right now, but if you can give me some clues about the location or clues of the item, I can try to get it. Mu Ziji touched his hair and said.
Hearing this, the maid didn't show any dissatisfied expression, just nodded and asked Mu Ziji to wait here before turning around and leaving.
Mu Ziji took the maid's movements and demeanor to heart, and it really deserved to be the center of the Yueling Empire, although it was not the national capital. But this quality really doesn't have to be said.
Not long after, the maid hurriedly walked to Mu Ziji with a long piece of paper, handed the paper to Mu Ziji and said: "Young man, please see, some items that we don't need for the time being in the Pavilion of Strange Things have been eliminated, and some more dangerous places have also been marked, I hope that Shaoxia will not be injured for this, the body is the most important, and if Shaoxia finds some treasures, he can use them to teach Ling'er, and Ling'er will ask his superiors to set a satisfactory price for Shaoxia." ”
Mu Ziji took the long paper, looked at it ignorantly, folded it away, said goodbye to the girl who claimed to be Ling'er, and left the Strange Things Pavilion.
Mu Ziji, who walked out, saw the Imperial Spirit Pavilion opposite, stood outside the door and thought about it, then pushed the door and walked in.
