Chapter 31: The Night Battle (I)
After packing up, Nie Yan didn't leave immediately.
Instead, he went into the house and glanced at the sleeping faces of the children, although he also rejected his own practices in his heart, Nie Yan still opened his eyes and observed the sleeping children.
After a moment, Nie Yan breathed a sigh of relief.
The children in front of me are all genuine human beings.
The reasons for deciding to want Tianyan are complicated, there are reasons why Nie Yan is ready to reveal some of his identity, and there are also reasons why he wants to know if this qiē is a big conspiracy in the end.
Whatever the reason, it's actually necessary and understandable.
It's just that what Nie Yan didn't notice was a subtle change in his state of mind.
From the complete simplicity when he first came out of the mountain, he became wary and suspicious of this world.
After determining this qiē, Nie Yan had no scruples and began to arrange formations inside and outside this room.
Regarding the formation, it was not the direction of Nie Yan's main practice.
However, there are many books on various Taoist methods in the small Dao realm, so some simple and effective defensive formations Nie Yan still knows how to do it.
This qiē movement woke up Mei Han.
Since the accident in Wanwan, Mei Han, as the only girl among the children, seems to have taken on some kind of heavy responsibility, and she doesn't sleep very soundly.
When Nie Yan saw her wake up, he didn't say much, just continued to be busy with the things at hand.
Mei Han just looked at Nie Yan curiously and didn't ask much.
It wasn't until half an hour later that Nie Yan finished arranging the formation and picked up his luggage, that Mei Han asked with some concern: "Big brother, are you leaving?" ”
Nie Yan took out a magic knife-like magic weapon and handed it to Mei Han's hand: "I'm just going to Xiaolong Town to help you find the eldest sister." If there is any danger, just be in that position and insert this magic weapon in your hand. ”
As he spoke, Nie Yan pointed to a location in the room.
Then the moonlight could be seen, where there was a meeting point of several red lines, and there was a vacant spot in the middle, where the magic knife could be inserted.
Mei Han obviously didn't understand these methods, and was a little at a loss with the magic knife.
Nie Yan sighed slightly in his heart, and then said to Mei Han seriously: "Han'er, since you have seen that there are fox demons in the world, then there is also a kind of existence in the world called cultivators. Got it? It's like you know, some people fall into evil spirits and will find Taoists to solve them. That Taoist is also called a cultivator from a certain distance, understand? The eldest brother is a cultivator, not a person who practices martial arts. ”
"Hmm." Mei Han nodded slightly.
Nie Yan told her that she needed some time to digest, but she raised her head in horror and asked Nie Yan, "Big brother, since you are a cultivator, will you kill the eldest sister?" ”
Nie Yan was suffocated in his heart, if Wanwan really became that kind of man-eating demon, but remembering his previous decision, Nie Yan reluctantly squeezed out a smile and said: "You all say that Wanwan is a good fox demon, I naturally won't kill her." I'll find her and tell her to come with me, and we'll live like we used to. ”
"That's great!" Mei Han held the magic knife in his hand and smiled happily.
Nie Yan touched her head and told her uneasily.
If that group of fox demons is powerful and has the intention to hunt down and kill children, and they come here, a formation will naturally not be able to stop them.
But when Nie Yan built this house, out of some consideration, there was a secret passage hidden in the corner of the house, which could lead directly to a hidden cave where Nie Yan practiced on weekdays, and a formation could at least give the children time to transfer.
That's what Nie Yan told Mei Han.
When I walked out of the house, it was really late at night, the moonlight was cold, the grass was green, and on the hillside not far away, was the grave of the Nie couple.
Nie Yan didn't even have time to wait for dawn, he just looked at the grave not far away, and said silently in his heart: "Father, mother, the child has been filial piety for three years, but it will be over today." Now, the child wants to find a very important person, no matter what, the child only understands today, what will happen in the future, always do not want to live without her. I hope that the father and mother can bless the child. ”
After staying like this for a while, Nie Yan turned around and left without hesitation.
In the night breeze, the four children didn't know when they would wake up, looking at Nie Yan's back getting farther and farther away, and only looking forward to the big brother and sister returning together, and everyone would live together warmly.
Who would know that the life they used to have would be like the back of Nie Yan this night, getting farther and farther away from them.
If you walk to Xiaolong Town in a normal time, it will take about 11 or 2 days.
If there is a horse-drawn carriage, it will be there in 3 or 4 days.
And Nie Yan didn't know how to get a horse, and he traveled day and night to Xiaolong Town, but it took less than 2 days.
He was afraid that he would not be able to find the bowls, because the children came on foot, and they were delayed for almost half a month.
Half a month is enough time for many things to happen, and he doesn't know where to find Wanwan except for Xiaolong Town?
Regardless of the hurry, Nie Yan looked dusty and a little tired.
He tied the horse to a tree at the entrance of Xiaolong Town, and looked at the three words of Xiaolong Town that had faded with some emotion, feeling that fate was such a coincidence.
He was born here, in the town of Xiaolong.
Growing up in the trail world, the central peak is called - Xiaolong Peak.
What does this portend? Are you a little dragon? Apparently this is not the case, but fate tells him that what happens to a person may also be a reincarnation, full of countless coincidences.
Just like what you like and what you hate, it is predestined, because of this kind of liking or hating, you are likely to encounter the same event.
And this kind of dislike or liking is something that God has given you, that is, fate, and thousands of years later, this view is called character determines fate.
Nie Yan's footsteps echoed in the empty streets, obviously nervous, heartache and anticipation, but he was still thinking about these messy things.
Just as meeting Wanwan is a coincidence, it is fate to like Wanwan.
He admitted that he liked it, and even when he put it, it would be valid, because he was Nie Yan, he would like such bowls, which was fate.
The night breeze blew across Nie Yan's cheeks, and due to the retreat, his long hair, which had not been combed much, was also blown a little messy.
It was late at night when I departed, and it was also late at night when I arrived.
The difference is that on the day of departure, there was a bright moon shining on Nie Yan's road.
After arriving here, it was shrouded in an unknown layer of fog, which made Nie Yan's heart depressed, and he remembered the night when Xiaolong Town was destroyed, and it was also layer after layer of fog that enveloped Xiaolong Town.
It's just that no matter how dark the night is, the familiar qiē on the street is still there.
In three years, every place here has left some more or less memories, maybe the town will eventually be buried, but these memories will not be buried.
Walking in front of the former Heavenly Maiden Temple, Nie Yan stopped.
More than a decade ago, it was here that was the most damaged, but the dam is still there, and the once mottled bloodstains are long gone.
In the misty mist, a slender and elegant figure stood in front of Nie Yan, he turned his head and looked at Nie Yan.
Nie Yan also looked at him.
If you say handsome, Nie Yan is obviously handsome, but when it comes to that elegant posture, it is definitely inferior to the figure in front of him.
Nie Yan has the pride of a young knight, and the person in front of him should be for the woman in the red dust, just standing so lightly, it is full of a style called charm.
"You stink, get out of the way." The first to speak was Nie Yan.
At the first sight of this person, he smelled the demonic aura on his body, and a commotion belonging to the fox clan was simply overwhelming.
However, the bowl is always clean and smells of soap, why is the bowl a fox demon? Nie Yan was in a trance.
"Huh." In the face of Nie Yan's unceremonious provocation, the man in front of him did not have the slightest anger, he held his hands behind his back, looked at Nie Yan, and just smiled without caring at all, just like a real beautiful son in the turbid world.
I have to admit that this smile is three points similar to Wanwan, but it does not have the temptation of Wanwan that is enough to make all beings be moved.
Nie Yan just looked at him, thinking about the bowls and bowls.
The person in front of him spoke after laughing: "Young people don't know how to be serious, and they are arrogant when they speak. But for the sake of the bowls, I don't care about you, just go back. ”
Nie Yan was silent, and his footsteps did not move half a step.
In the mist, his hand grasped the hilt of the iron sword behind his back, and shook it slightly, the old cloth that wrapped the iron sword was loosened, and an iron sword as bright as autumn water was crossed on Nie Yan's chest, pointing at the bewitching man.
This is the inconspicuous, even slightly rusty iron sword at the beginning.
Three years have passed, and finally the edge has been revealed, and for the first time, he has held it like this with Nie Yan, pointing to the real demon.
"I want to see Wanwan, I'll say you again! Don't you know that the smell of fox on your body is terrible? It's also for the sake of Wanwan's face, I can not open the killing ring today, otherwise"
"Otherwise, how?" The man was not afraid at all, but took two steps towards Nie Yan, and his eyes suddenly lit up in the dark night.
Soft and warm, like a piece of transparent ice, it melted into the softest wave of autumn water, with a little bit of disbelief and pity and distress.
This kind of look, even the hardest man in the world will feel guilty when he sees it, and if it is a woman, she will feel distressed and cherished.
But Nie Yan's hand holding the sword was very steady, and a soul force gently surged towards the iron sword in his hand, and the moment he touched the iron sword, the nameless change in an instant was compressed into an incomparably sharp force, which seemed to be able to cut a qiē.
"Otherwise, slash" Nie Yan spit out three words in his mouth, his arm waved, the iron sword hummed, and the mist in front of him was neatly cut in half by the blade of the sword!
