Chapter 283: Mu Xi's Identity
Fortunately, Xiao Wu and Ouyang Ze were by my side, so I wasn't particularly afraid. But I still subconsciously turned my head to look behind me, but I didn't find anything.
I couldn't help but be a little puzzled for a while, turned my head to look at Xiao Wu and Ouyang Ze and found that there was nothing abnormal about the two of them.
It's just that Ouyang Ze saw me looking back and asked with a smile, "What's the matter, An An?" ”
I looked at him and smiled and said it was okay, but the more I felt as if someone was watching us outside the window.
But seeing the two of them so calm, I can't help but feel that I might be too nervous.
"Xiao Wu, didn't you take a buckle from Muxi's house when you came over? Why not. ”
Ouyang Ze slowly took a meat skewer and grilled it, while looking at Xiao Wu and asked.
In fact, this meat was bought from Mu Xi's son, and it was already considered cooked food. It's just that now it's just a matter of reheating it again, and I turned my head to look at him when I heard Ouyang Ze ask Xiao Wu.
For me, even if Xiao Wu uses a pot to cook, I definitely won't eat it, after all, who knows who used this pot before, and what it did.
It's still safe to eat like this, but I don't want to interject too much into the conversation between them. And he didn't bother to take care of Ouyang Ze, now everything is to fill his stomach first.
When I was full, it was not too late to chat with them, so I bowed my head and ate. It's just that his eyes inadvertently always want to look at Mu Xi, for fear that he will come out again.
However, I knew in my heart that Xiao Wu would not let him get close to us, but I was still a little unsteady in my heart.
"You want to cook it yourself."
Xiao Wuyi instantly returned to the cold appearance when I first met him, always speaking the least words, and even the voice was cold.
Obviously, after his son explained to Xiao Wu, Xiao Wu didn't have much of a good impression of Ouyang Ze.
Ouyang Ze followed Xiao Wu's fingers and looked at the iron pot lying quietly in the corner, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he smiled awkwardly and said, "Then forget it." ”
After I finished eating the meat skewers in my hand, Xiao Wu handed me another skewer. Both of them began to fall silent, and for a moment I was a little uncomfortable.
After all, Xiao Wu has always been like this, and there is nothing strange about it. It's just that Ouyang Ze has always been like a chatter, but I'm really a little uncomfortable when he suddenly stops talking.
As I ate, I asked, "What do you want?" Why did you become so mature and stable now?! ”
Ouyang Ze sat lazily and looked at me, and suddenly said with a smile: "I knew that An An, you would definitely talk to me first." ”
I looked at him and rolled my eyes and asked, "What did you just do?" How can there be so many bats? And this wood, didn't you draw a circle for him? How can he still come out, it can't be that you released it on purpose, right?! ”
It's just that I didn't expect Xiao Wu to take the lead and say: "I just went to find some dry materials to prepare for dinner, but I didn't expect to alarm the bats in this mountain." But don't worry, I will definitely protect you every step of the way in the future. ”
I looked at Xiao Wu and waved it and hurriedly said, "This has nothing to do with you, but fortunately, there is this enchantment." Otherwise, I don't think I would have seen a bat, and I was strangled to death by Mu Xi long ago.
However, the appearance of Mu Xi just now was indeed a little strange, his eyes were dull and flashing red. When he pounced, he looked like a beast, and besides, I really thought that Ouyang Ze's circle could be as strong as the enchantment.
Who would have thought that it would be useless at all, and people would easily walk out with one step like that. ”
I said and deliberately accentuated my tone and looked at Ouyang Ze, in fact, I just wanted to deliberately take the opportunity to disgust him. After all, he has always ridiculed me before, and this time I finally got the opportunity not to talk about it, and I always feel itchy in my heart.
Of course, I also know that Ouyang Ze is not a cautious person, and he will not really get angry because I say a few words to him. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to say that, and I do have doubts in my mind.
When Xiao Wu saw me say this, he also looked at Ouyang Ze with interest and anticipation. Of course, I won't let go of this opportunity, and I plan to bully him for a while.
Ouyang Ze looked at me, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and said slowly: "An An, you have wronged me." It's not the first time I've used the circle I drew at that time, but I didn't expect it to come out so easily. ”
As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Mu Xi, who had fallen to the ground with a lifeless face, and a hint of complexity flashed in his eyes.
The atmosphere became a little delicate for a while, and I hurriedly smiled and said, "I'm just asking casually, since there is an enchantment here, then you can rest early when you are full." ”
As I spoke, I patted Ouyang Ze on the shoulder and stood up, turned around and took a skewer of roasted meat from Xiao Wu's hand and walked into the enchantment.
Now I always feel that it is not very safe outside, Ouyang Ze and Xiao Wu looked at it and nodded at the same time. As soon as I walked into the enchantment, I heard Xiao Wu say slowly, "I'll keep vigil tonight." ”
"Thank you."
Ouyang Ze got up and pressed Xiao Wu's shoulder, and walked towards me as he spoke. I didn't plan to occupy such a large area by myself, but I didn't expect Xiao Wu to keep vigil at night, and there were only two people in it, Ouyang Ze and me.
Even though the barrier is transparent, it still feels a little awkward. Fortunately, Ouyang Ze has been silent tonight, and he didn't say anything embarrassing.
He sat cross-legged on the blanket and slowly closed his eyes, and I quickly finished eating the meat in my hand and lay down.
Xiao Wu's back to us was actually only three or five steps away, and he pressed the flame to the ground and sat motionless.
I was lying on the ground, but I didn't feel sleepy at all, and I didn't know what I was thinking anymore. It's always a little annoying.,As soon as I close my eyes, all kinds of trance pictures continue to flash in front of my eyes.。
I had to open my eyes and look at Xiao Wu's back and Ouyang Ze in a daze, but after lying down and chatting for a while, I involuntarily turned over and sat up.
"What's the matter, An'an? Do you want me to light the incense for you? ”
Ouyang Ze slowly opened his eyes and looked at me and asked.
I shook my head and didn't say yes. I knew very well in my heart that this soothing incense could only solve a temporary dilemma, after all, I could not count on it to sleep all my life.
I have to get used to it slowly, not to mention that I'm not entangled in demons now. It's just insomnia, maybe it's just not sleepy.
Besides, in this strange place, if you can really fall asleep. Unless it's tired, it's really abnormal.
Looking at Ouyang Ze, I lay down again and closed my eyes. Suddenly, I heard what seemed to be someone talking, and I opened my eyes suddenly, only to see that Ouyang Ze had already come out of the enchantment and was standing in the corner with his back to me.
And Xiao Wu also turned around and looked in Ouyang Ze's direction, and when he saw that I woke up, Xiao Wu slowly walked over and said, "It's okay, it's just that Mu Xi was hungry just now and ordered something to eat." You might as well go ahead and rest. ”
I nodded, knowing I might not be able to sleep. He stood up and walked towards Ouyang Ze, after all, the enchantment was not far from Mu Xi.
And with Ouyang Ze here, I don't have anything to worry about, but as soon as I walked over, I saw Xiao Wu also follow and stand by Ouyang Ze's side.
Ouyang Ze looked back at me and Xiao Wu and didn't say anything, but turned his head to look at Mu Xi and said, "Say it." ”
I looked sideways and saw that Mu Xi was sitting cross-legged on the ground. His face was bloody, and his chest rose and fell violently, looking like he was about to swallow at any time.
It's just that he is still holding the meat skewers that Xiao Wu grilled before, and he is slowly squirming with his cheeks eating little by little.
I looked at him and immediately felt a little strange, but I just couldn't put it into words. turned his head to look at Xiao Wu and saw that he didn't have any abnormal expression. I had no choice but to look at Ouyang Ze suspiciously, not knowing what they were going to say.
As if he didn't see us, Mu Xi continued to eat slowly. The three of us waited patiently until he finished eating and drinking some water before slowly raising his head.
His voice rang out slowly, slightly hoarse. I couldn't help but feel a little tingling in my scalp as soon as he opened his mouth, and watched him take a few steps back.
"Sixty years ago, here lived the most admired mage in our entire town, the holy mage. And that little holy witch tripod you are holding is there! ”
Mu Xi raised his arm as he spoke, stretched out his index finger and pointed at me, and I suddenly felt the hairs on my body stand on end. I couldn't help but shudder, and Mu Xi stared at me with fierce eyes.
But gradually, I felt that he didn't seem to look at me anymore, and Ouyang Ze turned his head to look at me. I looked dazed, and shifted slightly, looking behind myself, where I had picked up the leg of the table where I had made the torch by the window.
"You're saying this tripod was originally here?"
Ouyang Ze turned around and asked coldly.
I was confused when I heard it, and the information that Ouyang Ze showed me before clearly said that this Ding was the murderer who killed a village here.
But now that Mu Xi actually said that this must have been placed here, I couldn't help but be even more puzzled.
"Of course, I was only 10 years old, but I remember it very clearly. I was the youngest disciple of Master Yesheng at the time, and I was in charge of cleaning this place and the table. ”
Mu Xi said and saluted there with his hands folded, and suddenly looked at Ouyang Ze with sharp eyes and said, "If you don't believe it, you can see if there is a scratch on that Ding's ear." ”
As soon as his words fell, Ouyang Ze was stunned for a moment. I hurried over, thinking he was going to check the censer.
But seeing that he nodded slowly and said, "Indeed, there is a scratch, which looks like it was left a long time ago." ”
I looked at Mu Xi in disbelief, and it seemed that most of what he said was true. If this is the case, then what is written in that document is wrong.
However, so many years have passed, and it is a record involving a mysterious organization, and some mistakes are understandable.
"Of course, because the traces I got are what I left back then."
He slowly closed his eyes as he spoke, as if he was reminiscing about his childhood, with a look of piety.
"That means not all of the people here are dead?!"
Ouyang Ze looked at Mu Xi and asked coldly.
"Hehe, of course not. Is there someone here who is dead? ”
Mu Xi suddenly laughed as he spoke, and his sharp voice was extremely harsh. It was completely different from the voice he had spoken before, and I couldn't help but shudder as I looked at him.
