Chapter 5 Things Aren't Quite Right
"Or ...... That's all for today, Princess? β
Without a trace, before Taketori Weng came over, the dim light curtain around him was completely hidden, and Mu Xiu took the initiative to take a step back this time and spread his hands, indicating that he did not have malicious intentions, but the relative distance between him and Penglai Mountain Kaguya still did not change.
His expression was calm, his eyes were calm and serious, and he did not exude a dangerous aura such as murderous hostility caused by locking on to the "target".
But even if it was malicious, Mu Xiu actually had no way to really threaten the princess in front of him. After all, the other party has been avoiding him before, and he is not willing to really show up until now, so naturally it cannot be a choice made on impulse.
Normal people will definitely choose to get through their weakness as much as possible, and after recovering, they will be sure that they can ensure their own safety, and they will do something that may be risky, even the Moon Princess is no exception in this matter.
- After all, it was the most depressed time of her life.
And the short skirmish just now is enough to prove that Penglai Mountain Kaguya's direct combat power may not be amazing, but the conceptual ability she has mastered is troublesome to death, at least relatively speaking, she is absolutely capable of self-preservation.
What's more, she is still a Penglai person with an immortal body, and she was exiled to the earth precisely because the execution on the moon surface was fruitless.
ββ¦β¦β
Seeing this, the black long straight girl obviously hesitated, and finally withdrew her eternal power, but her eyes like black jade were staring at Mu Xiu tightly, still looking very vigilant.
But the result finally relieved her, until the old man Sanuki walked up to her a little slowly and stood still, Mu Xiu didn't make any outrageous moves, and there was no such thing as a storm.
In fact, at this time, Mu Xiu had already said goodbye neatly and turned away.
After all, at this time, because of Taketori's appearance, it is obviously no longer suitable to say anything, and in Mu Xiu's opinion, the appearance of Zanzaki Sakumaro is actually a good thing for him-
Because with the help of such a thing, I can be regarded as proving to a certain extent that I really have no malice through action and sincerity.
At least there is no need to think of any excuse to resolve the misunderstanding caused by the previous mistake, you must know that Penglai Mountain Huiye's suspicion is not unreasonable, if he is transposed, Mu Xiu will definitely feel that the whole world will harm him.
So the boy almost praised the old man with a "god teammate", and he had to send a five-star praise and thirty-two likes.
Therefore, he barely hesitated at the moment, and turned around and left after saying goodbye directly, not dragging the mud and water at all, and looking very neat.
ββ¦β¦β
ββ¦β¦β
Watching his figure disappear into the snow in the direction of the village, Sansaki Sakumaro's gaze scanned the body of Mt. Horai Kaguya to make sure that she had not been hurt in any way, and then he was visibly relieved.
Then he hesitatedβ
"That's the one I told you about before, that person, haven't you always avoided him before? Why are you meeting him again now? Well, he didn't do anything, did he? β
"Don't worry, I'm fine......" Penglai Shan Kaguya stared in that direction and whispered: "This person is indeed a very dangerous inhuman, but it can't hurt me." And it's not that I want to meet him, and I can't help him come to the door by himself. β
"......" The old man sighed, and stopped talking, and couldn't help shivering in the cold night.
"You don't have to worry about making Malu, go back and let your mother-in-law relax, since he can't hurt the concubine, then the only thing that can be started is for you who are close to the concubine."
The black long straight girl tilted her head slightly, and said disappreciably: "But he hasn't made a move these days, and he hasn't made a move on you just now, so he shouldn't be a mad fanatic......
Taketori shook his head with a wry smile, and then asked with a wistful look in his eyes, "Girl, I didn't mean this question...... I mean, he just called you "Princess", does he know you? Were you really a princess in heaven before? β
ββ¦β¦β
ββ¦β¦β
An imperceptible discoloration flashed in the depths of Penglai Shan Huiye's eyes, but she just shook her head lightly and said in a low voice: "I don't know either...... Zaomaro, let's go back first, don't let your mother-in-law worry too much, the weather is too cold, you don't always come out. β
Taketori's disappointment was almost entirely written on his face.
The black straight girl turned her head and glanced at the lake behind her, which was gradually freezing, thoughtfully.
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
Back in his current house, Mu Xiu closed the door and sat down on the animal skin felt on the floor.
At this time, the flames in the fire pit in front of him were already much weaker, so he threw a few pieces of firewood into it, and smashed the rune stones that had just been made before going out into it.
He didn't have any special expressions, anyway, this kind of low-level rune stone basically had a single effect, and he was purely used to practice his hands to improve his proficiency in making rune stones. At most, it is the power of a fireball explosion, and now it is not distressing to suppress the power and simply use it to ignite the fire.
After all, the raw material is just stone, and it is found everywhere, even if the high-grade rune stone has many higher material requirements, it is not too difficult to find.
Even if you lose your mind and go crazy and redeem it directly from the big light ball, then you only need dozens or hundreds of reward points to exchange for raw materials that may not be processed in a lifetime.
But fortunately, Mu Xiu's current mental state is normal, and the signs of dizziness in his head are not particularly serious.
So he just let out a long breath, then stretched out his palm, and a dim flame ignited in his palm.
Then he tried to control it, but found that all the basic effects of the spiritual light, such as the body protection and control of the telekinetic power, etc., were currently only the former, and it could only be said that it was incomplete spiritual light.
However, this has already made Mu Xiu very satisfied, because if there is really a more excessive performance, I am afraid that he will be afraid of himself.
Slowly closing the five fingers, the flame light slowly disappeared into the palm. At this time, Mu Xiu couldn't help but close his eyes slightly, thinking about what had just happened.
He always vaguely felt as if something was wrong, as if something had gone wrong, but he couldn't say why. Because there is nothing wrong with Penglai Mountain Kaguya's approach, but it is impossible for him to make any mistakes unintentionally......
The problem must not be with Taketori, right?
After thinking about it to no avail, he gave up on the idea. Anyway, on the whole, it's going well? - At least I've finally met the legendary NEET-hime.
"And it's the black long straight type I like......" I complained.
Just thinking about it a little, Mu Xiu couldn't help but have an amazing emotion, this was probably the most amazing black straight he had ever seen. Not only before, but he had a hunch that it would be difficult to see such a person in the future.
Although he used to talk nonsense, saying that he was directly controlled by the black chief, but in fact, Mu Xiu didn't really control the black chief, but now he always felt that maybe that wasn't a bad thing?!
However, this heartfelt feeling did not last long, because suddenly the north wind outside began to howl angrily, and the snow that was still quiet just now suddenly turned into a blizzard, and I don't know how many people woke up from their dreams.
Mu Xiu's smile suddenly froze, he sighed, stretched out his hand to pluck the firewood a few times, and turned to look out the window with a melancholy expression.
I really picked a good time to come over, and it seems that there is nothing else to do other than nesting here all winter, right? When Yakumo Ziyi hibernates, she will inevitably sleep through the whole winter, and she is teleported in through the large ball of light, and there is no way to directly pass through the gap to attract her attention.
Maybe by the time his vision attacks come on, something will change?
But at that time, Mu Xiu himself was no longer in this world, so what could he do if he attracted the attention of Yakumo Zi...... It's a terrible situation.
However, no matter how depressed he was, there was no way to change the weather season by his emotions alone, so the cold wind howled outside the house, and the blizzard still fell, as if to cover up all the unnatural traces of this ancient land.
A cold snap poured in through the open window, and the fire in the house was blown and swayed.
Mu Xiu could only stand up, close the window, and then turn back to the edge of the fire and sit for a while, feeling a little absent-minded. So he simply didn't continue to stay up late to cultivate immortals, he directly lay down on the animal skin felt next to him, and started his first rest in these days.
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
After that, a few more days passed.
Finally, on this day, the old man Sanuki came to visit early in the morning with a little restraint. At this time, the dawn had just passed, and the sky was slightly bright.
But this is also normal, if it is a little later, Mu Xiu will go out as always, and then if he does not come back in the evening, it will often be late at night to rush back unhurriedly. If you really look for him for something, the daylily will be cold by that time.
Following behind Taketori, walking through half of the village, and greeting the villagers he met along the way, Mu Xiu once again came to Taketori's home.
Taketori's family is not very wealthy, and like the other villagers, they are all wooden-framed and grass-roofed houses, but they asked the villagers to help build an extra house before winter.
As for the statement in the later "Tale of Taketori" that "after that, every time Taketori went to cut bamboo, he would find a lot of gold in the bamboo tube, so the old man quickly became a rich man", this is nonsense at all.
Even if Penglai Mountain Kaguya had the heart to help the old couple, he would not take such a reckless approach. What's more, gold and silver were originally the only circulating goods that could be used by the aristocracy, and even before that, the exchange of goods in the 11th district had remained in the primitive state of barter.
Anyway, for ordinary people, food or something is a circulating commodity, and they may not know gold and silver, and there is no place to use it in the poor countryside.
In front of a house behind the house of the old Sanuki couple.
ββ¦β¦ A name? Mu Xiu stood in front of the house and asked with a strange expression.
"Yes, it's been three months, and my girl doesn't have a name yet. Therefore, although the old man is not his biological father, he wants to ask someone to choose a name worthy of her no matter what......" Sanuki said in a deep voice.
"I think you should be a rare talented person in the world, so I want to take the liberty of asking you to give it a try."
ββ¦β¦ Then I'll give it a try. Mu Xiu looked at the old man for a while before nodding and agreeing.
He could see that the old man was very unhappy in his heart, and he was afraid that it should be the princess's idea that he should come, ostensibly to let himself choose a name for him, but in fact it should be a further temptation of the princess.
She wanted to find out how much she knew about herβ
If Mu Xiu could say her real name, it would prove a lot of things......
