Chapter 6 Mountain Walking
After leaving the Gu Mansion, Mo Baiyi got off the shield again, confirming that ordinary demonic things could not enter, and then left.
On the way, I said, "I heard those old ghosts on the Broken Soul Cliff say that I look the same as the demon who brought disaster to the world a hundred years ago. Worried, he secretly looked at Mo Baiyi's expression.
As long as Mo Baiyi doesn't doubt me, what others think doesn't matter. It's just that Fang just listened to the scolding of his family for no reason, which was a little annoying.
Recalling the scene when I first met, if Mo Baiyi doubted me, I was afraid that he would not smile gently, and let me follow, just like in the illusion, he drew his sword and asked me to die.
Mo Baiyi said: "I know. The voice was as warm as ever.
Ben Jian Ling breathed a sigh of relief, and his heart fell heavily, and even his fluttering movements were extremely brisk.
Didn't take a few steps, a snow-white spirit bird dedicated to Lingshan to transmit the message pounced into Mo Baiyi's arms, and then turned into a piece of stationery, Mo Baiyi read the content, burned the letter, and when he arrived at the fork in the road, he didn't take the road to Lingshan, I followed him and floated leisurely, and couldn't help but ask him out loud: "Where to go?" ”
Mo Baiyi said: "As mentioned in the letter, there have been cultivators missing in Hucheng recently, and it will be a new trial for each family to recruit in the near future, so you must not slack off. After a pause, he said with a smile, "And the area around Hucheng, the scenery is acceptable." ”
Recruiting new trials? Calculating the time, it is indeed the annual recruitment and trial of each family, recruiting new disciples with immortal fate, and then the trials of the disciples of each family in previous years.
Mo Baiyi looked at me, and the corners of his lips smiled slightly: "Would you like to go with you?" ”
I jumped out of the Wave Chasing Sword, handed it to him, and grinned: "You have taken the sword, and this sword spirit will follow you to the ends of the earth, wherever you go." ”
Mo Baiyi didn't answer for a long time.
I wondered in my heart, I don't know what Mo Baiyi was hiding in his heart, he had traveled together before, and he said that he had to be a king, why did he choose to fold the immortal?
Anyway, I thought about it all the way to Peach Blossom Town, if Mo Baiyi took the sword, as the saying goes, marry a chicken with a chicken and marry a dog with a dog, and I will follow him wherever I go.
If he doesn't take it, I'll follow him until he catches the sword, or I can't catch it one day.
Anyway, for Mo Baiyi, you have to be cheeky.
Mo Baiyi pushed the sword back to me, and called softly: "Chasing the waves......" The smile gradually subsided, and he wanted to speak.
I frowned, is it because the wave chasing sword is not good?
No, folding immortal swords is not as good as chasing waves and red dust, and there is no one in the world who can forge such immortal swords.
So the sword spirit pondered and spoke: "There is no owner in chasing waves, I don't boast about it, there is no master fairy sword in this world, and chasing waves is a leader." ”
Mo Baiyi smiled slightly: "It's excellent to chase the waves." And he said no more.
As for why you still don't want me, I can't figure it out, so I don't want to.
Then he put on the emerald green hat, covered his face tightly, put on a green coat, felt a lot younger, and then pinned the sword to his waist, and followed behind Mo Baiyi with his sleeves.
Mo Baiyi took a step, and I stepped on the light footprints in front of me, followed a step, and had a very good time.
If you think about it, it seems that it was a hundred years ago to walk together in peace and quiet.
Raised his hand to pick up Mo Baiyi's long inky hair hanging down his waist, threw it up for three points, watched the wind blow the hair away, and then hung down softly, obediently sticking to the white clothes, and so on.
I said, "The cultivator is missing? But what did the monster do? ”
Mo Baiyi shook his head: "As mentioned in the letter, there is suspected that there is a corpse qi left in the place where the cultivator disappeared, and there are already disciples in the door who go first. ”
Corpse gas? I was shocked, and suddenly remembered the person who was covered with corpses and looked the same as me, and forced myself to calm down: "Then this trip is to meet the disciple first?" ”
Mo Baiyi said softly: "Don't worry. ”
After a while, I asked Mo Baiyi tentatively: "Do you still care about the affairs of Peach Blossom Town?" ”
In my selfish heart, I didn't want Mo Baiyi to get involved in this matter, so naturally I didn't tell him about the person who claimed to be Jimo Qingyu.
As for the nameless man I saw at the bottom of the Broken Soul Cliff who recognized me as my master, I didn't dare to ask him.
It is about Jimo Qingyu, it is rumored that the devil and Mo Baiyi have a blood feud against their relatives, and this sword spirit looks the same as him, so he can avoid it.
Mo Baiyi replied: "Naturally, we must investigate thoroughly." After a pause, "What's wrong?" ”
I sighed lightly, "I always feel that this matter in Peach Blossom Town is not as simple as it is on the surface, the demon is dead, and it is obviously deliberately done for the evil man to borrow the name of the devil." ”
Mo Baiyi shook his head, and nodded again.
I raised my eyebrows, stood in front of him, and said with a smile: "I remember that you took in two disciples and have been raising them in Lingshan, why don't you take advantage of this incident to see how the two of them cultivate?" ”
When Mo Baiyi heard this, he chuckled lightly and shook his head slowly: "It's about the old people, I can't stand by and watch." Then he walked around me and walked on his own.
My brain twitched, and I opened my mouth to ask, "Is your old friend important to you?" ”
Mo Baiyi stopped, hummed softly, looked at me inexplicably, and said, "Very important." ”
I still don't give up: "Do you have to investigate this matter yourself?" ”
"I have to look it up." The peach blossom eyes were gentle and elegant, but the expression was unusually firm.
This sword spirit struggled in his heart for a moment, but he still recognized it, who made me conscious, and the first time I saw Mo Baiyi, I recognized him, no matter whether he would bring up some unbearable past events in the future, it was impossible for him to be alone in danger.
"Since you want to investigate, I can't stop you, so I can only accompany you~ Then our Mo family master has a clue?" As he spoke, he tilted his head and looked at him with a grin, "What do you say the words on those plaques teach to scratch?" ”
"Dog demon chai chai." Mo Baiyi slowly followed, "It was Gu Xiaogongzi's doing, and he was eager to save his father." Even so, I strongly disagree.
Not...... In the end, it was a child, and he was eager to save his father, and when he heard that it was the devil seeking revenge, he was clever and destroyed the words on the plaque, so that the man could not find his father, probably because of this, the people in the town lost their lives in vain.
I thought about it, and told Mo Baiyi about the corpse-covered person I met in the alley, and finally said that the person was only afraid that it was a fake, Mo Baiyi was silent for a moment, nodded, and his eyes were emotions that I couldn't understand.
Peach Blossom Town to Hucheng, walk for about two days to arrive, Mo Baiyi chose a quiet mountain road, all the way to Hucheng stop, when the spring is deep, the roadside weeds have already smoked new shoots, blooming with colorful small wildflowers, white clothes brushing flowers and leaves, let me feel that this mountain forest wildflowers are also very good-looking.
After sunset, there was a faint white mist in the mountains and forests, hazy, I followed Mo Baiyi closely, and quietly twisted a corner of his clothes.
It's a bit embarrassing to say, this sword spirit has a very poor sense of direction, and in this wooded and foggy mountain forest, I'm afraid that one step behind will be lost.
Mo Baiyi seemed to be aware of it, and his steps slowed down a little.
It rained in the evening, the heavier the mountain rain, the road was not easy to walk, I and Mo Baiyi found a cave to shelter from the rain, fortunately, there were some dead branches and weeds in the cave, I piled it up, twisted a finger to make a fire, and then took off the coat and spread it on the weeds, called Mo Baiyi, raised his hand and patted it.
"Master Mo, don't stand at the entrance of the cave and blow the cold wind, come and sit."
The fire is not wet clothes, it just rained, Mo Baiyi used magic to separate the rain, now the eyelids are fighting, and the fire is burning in front of him before he feels a little warmer, it should be that he doesn't know the proportion today, and he still maintains the entity after saving people, and he consumes the aura of chasing waves, remembering the chill of the raindrops piercing his soul at that time.
Mo Baiyi looked back, smiled slightly and said hello, but he was still standing at the entrance of the cave, waiting for a while, a spirit bird flapped its wet wings and landed between his fingers, turning into a wet letter in an instant.
Mo Baiyi frowned for a moment, then slowly came over and sat beside me and told me the content.
Probably because there was a change in Hucheng, the missing cultivators had already returned to the city, but their temperament had changed drastically, and no one recognized their strange behavior, and when they met the cultivators, they were injured and taken away without saying a word, and ordinary spells were ineffective for these cultivators, and ...... There seems to be a trace of the demon in the city, and the lords of each family have known it, and under the discussion of the secret method, they came to the conclusion and went to the scene in person, and after the accident, they discussed many matters related to the recruitment of new trials, and then opened the recruitment of new trials.
I said, "It's urgent, why don't we go to Edgeworth now?" ”
The smile on Mo Baiyi's lips stiffened, and his face turned pale and said, "No need." "Leave your head aside.
I was stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered that this Mo family master, who is unparalleled in the world in terms of elegance and cultivation, is afraid of heights. Since childhood, he has been very afraid of heights.
Ben Jian Ling laughed dryly, "Then I'll go back tomorrow, since each family has sent people, and the disciples of the Mo family are also here, there shouldn't be anything to delay." Cheekily moved to Mo Baiyi's side, and seeing that he didn't refuse, he took off his hat and fell asleep with his arms on his shoulder.
It seemed that this sleep was a dream, in the dream it was vaguely raining heavily, and little by little it slipped into the extra hole in my heart, it hurt and cold, and there was a person standing in front of me, although I couldn't see the appearance clearly, but I felt very familiar, and then the man pointed his sword straight at me, as if he wanted me to die.
…… Alas, not a good dream.
Then in a daze, as if he heard Mo Baiyi playing the meditation qin again, he whispered, no matter what the road ahead, I am willing to go the same way with me.
And then I don't remember.
When he woke up, the sky was dawning, and he was wearing Mo Baiyi's clothes, and when he saw him wiping the piano with a cloth, he smiled sideways: "The rain has stopped." ”
"You can't sleep well at night, you keep calling me, but you have nightmares?"
I stood up, put my clothes back on him, and honestly confessed, "I don't remember." ”
Mo Baiyi wiped the piano, put it in the Qiankun bag he carried, and after putting on his clothes, I set off with him again.
The shortcut road to Hucheng must pass through a village, cross the river and then go for half a day is Hucheng, the people in the village are simple and simple, and the harmony is very, and the old man who supports the boat at the ferry is kind and kind.
I got on the boat with Mo Baiyi, he entered the cabin, I stood on the bow of the boat, and said hello to the old man, the spring breeze was blowing, a few reeds on the side of the river were swaying with the wind, and a few red carp swam slowly under the boat.
The old man smiled and said, "The two immortal chiefs are going to Hucheng, right?" I heard that Hucheng has not been peaceful recently, and many cultivators have gone there. ”
I smiled and said yes, chatted with my father-in-law for a few words, turned to look at Mo Baiyi, saw him with his head in one hand, frowned slightly, noticed my gaze, put down his hand to sit upright, and smiled lightly.
I was a little worried, the old man who was holding the boat kept talking, I said a few polite words to the old man, entered the cabin, and sat next to Mo Baiyi.
I frowned and asked him, "What's wrong?" "Could it be that last night he spent mana playing the piano for a night to calm my nightmare? In this way, I thought about quietly injecting some aura to him, not wanting Mo Baiyi to block my hand, and said, "It's okay, don't waste aura." ”
Then he said to the old man outside the cabin: "Boatman, please hold the boat faster." ”
Lord Mo, this is ...... Seasick?
The boatman said yes.
I sighed and said, "You may be better by leaning on me." ”
Mo Baiyi didn't shirk this time, closed his eyes and leaned on my shoulder, his eyebrows frowned slightly, he had never seen him on a boat before, it was my negligence, so he raised his hand and gently rubbed his eyebrows for him, and then he thought to himself, even if the sky fell in the future, he would not let Mo Baiyi take the boat.
The old man at the bow of the boat said: "If the two immortal chiefs go to Hucheng, the old man has a reluctant request, I wonder if the immortal chief can agree?" ”
I said, "But it's okay to say, my husband. ”
"The old man has a son, looking about the same age as the fairy chief, went to Hucheng to find a job, a little ink in his stomach, when he first went, he wrote a letter back, saying that he was in a big family as a bookkeeper, he didn't go home for five years, and there was no letter, the family was sick, and he talked about the child every day, the old man couldn't leave, and he asked someone to go to Hucheng to find no news, and the fairy went to Hucheng, if he met, let him come back and see it."
I looked at Mo Baiyi's expression, and I responded, and the old man said that his son's surname was Su Wanzhi, and he looked at Sven honestly, a little submissive, and bookish.
He didn't return for five years, and he didn't have any letters, so he was either an unfilial son or ...... It's what happened.
After docking, Mo Baiyi and I got off the boat, handed over the silver money to the boatman, and the old man did not accept it, so he begged me and Mo Baiyi to help pay attention, and hurried back to support the boat and left.
Mo Baiyi slowed down slightly, his face returned to normal, and he looked at me with a smile a little apologetic: "I'm causing trouble for chasing the waves." ”
I smiled and teased him: "Don't worry, you should, if you don't want to go, you will take away the Wave Chasing Sword~"
The corners of Mo Baiyi's lips raised a little, and a shallow smile appeared in his peach blossom eyes, but he didn't speak.
