Chapter 3: The City of Noise and the Pure Land
Following.
The sun rises in an obscure trail from the land of hope in the east, illuminating the slightly bleak silhouette of the city of Atum in the early morning under a mysterious flash of light. The bustling streets are also surrounded by a silent environment at this time. After a while, the streets will be bustling, but at this time, only a few sparse pale figures can be seen. Even the gradually warming air can't solve the melancholy that this prosperous city must go through at this time.
Mo Xuan's black eyelashes moved slightly, and then he opened his eyes in disgust. He gently propped up his body with one hand, and found that the girl was still in a dream, and her white leg was unceremoniously resting on his lap. And in this obvious contrast, Mo Xuan saw that the girl's legs were not only much whiter than herself, but also seemed to be a little longer......
No, what are you kidding, she is a year younger than herself, and it is understandable that she is thinner than herself, but she is longer than herself, which is absolutely impossible!
Mo Xuan muttered to himself in his heart, shook his head, and said that he had just raised an impossible problem.
He gently moved the girl's legs away from his body, and suddenly a strong feeling of paralysis spread throughout his body, making him tremble all over. Before, the girl's legs were on her body, which made her a little numb and she didn't notice it, but now all of a sudden, there was a kind of ant-like numbness and itching, which made him uncomfortable. He hurriedly patted and rubbed his hands on both of his legs to relieve the numbness at this moment, and the feeling disappeared after a while.
Mo Xuan breathed a long sigh of relief and glanced at the girl angrily. This is not the first time, because he sleeps in the same bed every day, and the girl is really not very honest when he sleeps, he will often wake up and find something on his body. Once, the girl lay on Mo Xuan's body. When Mo Xuan woke up, the girl also woke up, and the two looked at each other, so the two broke out a miserable scream at the same time. The girl hurriedly sat to the side, her little face was crimson, obviously due to shyness, and Mo Xuan, on the other hand, her eyes flashed with deep horror, obviously she was frightened......
"Next time, I'll have to find a way to take care of this girl, or I'll die at her hands sooner or later." Mo Xuan secretly slandered himself. Suddenly, he looked up and found his grandfather sitting cross-legged in front of the window not far away, facing out of the window, his eyes closed. The newborn sunlight fell on his face, and his old face was like a layer of brown tung oil, full of vigorous vitality.
Grandpa didn't know when he got up, and he sat quietly by himself. This is not the first time Mo Xuan has found his grandfather like this. He noticed early on that his grandfather got up early every day and sat like this facing the sun. It is also because of this that Mo Xuan is sure that his grandfather is definitely not an ordinary person, not only a rune master, but also a high-level rune master.
Seeing his grandfather like this, his desire to become a rune master tomorrow has taken another step. If there is a grandfather's guidance, then it must be quite simple for him to excel after becoming a rune master. Thinking about it, Mo Xuan's eyes were a little hotter. Suddenly, he saw his grandfather's two hands on his lap gently raised, and then made a complicated movement in the air, his mouth slightly open, as if he was sucking something. Mo Xuan vaguely saw that there seemed to be dots of light pouring into the room from outside the window, and they converged towards his grandfather's mouth Weiqi.
Mo Xuan looked at it, and there was a little more shock in his eyes. Suddenly, a feeling of sleepiness hit his head, and he yawned. It's true that I woke up a little early today. So the heavy eyelids knocked down the last of Mo Xuan's nerves that were still working, and led him back into the darkness......
The sun rotates slowly, like an embroidered gear. As it gradually climbed to the highest point of the blue sky, the whole world was enveloped in a blazing wave of air.
Grandpa was dressed in a shelf short robe, flanked by Mo Xuan and the girl. In the streets of Atum City at noon, the boiling noise of the people overtook the heat overhead, and all the people seemed to be not staying at home, but ran into the lively streets, each with its own purpose, regardless of the fact that it was the hottest time of the day, not to mention, there was something called "rigdi" to cool people down.
"Come on, come on, take a look, the iron berries produced in Beiyu City, you can absorb juice by making a hole, which is convenient and quenches your thirst!"
"Home-built, the best weapon shop in Atum City, all kinds of weapons are available when you need them!"
"Millennial fire beast teeth, ward off evil spirits and suppress disasters, come and take a look!"
"The moonlight flower dew that I just collected this morning, there is only one bottle left, first come, first served!"
......
All kinds of cries came and went, one after another, causing Mo Xuan and the girl to look around, from time to time pulling grandpa to stop in front of various shops, sometimes simply running by himself, leaving grandpa far behind.
"Hey, you two little guys, slow down, my old bones can't catch up with you. Grandpa's voice came from behind, but the noise came from all directions, and it instantly drowned out Grandpa's voice.
"Ah, Brother Mo Xuan, look, that shop is so unique, let's go in and have a look!" The girl was so excited, and regardless of Mo Xuan's answer, she took Mo Xuan's hand and ran over.
"Hey, girl, slow down, don't be in such a hurry, I'm almost unable to catch up with you!" Mo Xuan said helplessly.
"That's because your legs aren't as long as mine. The girl turned around and made a grimace at Mo Xuan, and said with a smile on her face.
"Nonsense!" Mo Xuan retorted, blushing, but the thought that had occurred in his mind in the morning unconsciously popped up in his mind, but the next moment he dispelled the thought, and at the same time thought in his heart, "How is it possible!"
"Hee-hee. The girl smiled mischievously in front, and although she was immature, she could already see the beautiful rudimentary face, which looked beautiful and unpretentious under a smile, and Mo Xuan couldn't help but be stunned.
Looking at Mo Xuan's eyes, the girl was also scarlet and peach-dyed, and hurriedly pulled his hand and said, "Okay, let's go in quickly." As she spoke, she took Mo Xuan's hand and walked forward, but this time she didn't run again, but led Mo Xuan over, not fast or slow. In front of them, is a unique building. Unlike other houses with stone structures, this is a two-storey wooden house. In Sunset Sandbar, there is less vegetation due to the climate, and the ones that can be used as wood are even rarer. In addition, the changeable weather makes it difficult to store wood for a long time on the sunset sandbank, so it is rare to see wooden houses on the sunset sandbank, and even fewer are like this large. There are a few beaded chains hanging in front of the door of the wooden house, but the color is very rustic. There is a slightly higher threshold in front of the door, which is rare to see on a sunset sandbar.
The girl crossed the threshold, and a rich aroma came to her nose and entered the girl's senses.
"Ah, it smells so good!" exclaimed softly.
Behind the girl, Mo Xuan was there and stepped in, and the pungent fragrance also surprised him. He had never asked about the scent, and he even felt that it was incompatible with the sunset sandbank.
He surveyed his surroundings and noticed that the dΓ©cor in the cabin was as modest as it looked from the outside. Only in front of it was a brown wooden square table, and the table was sleek and slightly reflective, and on the table was a brown bronze turtle statue, but the difference was that the turtle's tail was extremely long, and it went around its abdomen, and finally revealed a hideous snake head. Four wooden chairs were placed around the table, and on one side of the door was an offering table, on which was an offering stove, with a few burning incense sticks and wisps of cigarette smoke wafting, and it was obvious that the aroma of the whole room came from this. On the other three sides is a row of cabinets, also made of wood. If you look closely, you can clearly see the carvings on the top of the furniture, and it is clear that the items are handmade. It seemed to be a place of untouched purity, and even the flames of Atum City outside could not be eroded in the slightest.
On the window side on the left side of the room, there is a chaise longue, slightly rocking. Mo Xuan saw that on the recliner, a person was also looking at Mo Xuan. He was dressed in a white shirt, his whole body was slender, his black hair hung down at his waist, his face was indifferent, and his complexion was better than the white shirt on his body, making him feel like he was in it. On his left hand was a long cigarette stick, from which wisps of smoke floated out. It's hard to believe that such a person could be a man.
"Little ghost, whoever let you in, go out if it's okay. The man's voice was cold, without a trace of emotion, but there was no room for rejection.
The girl pouted and said, "Hey, how can there be a store like this to drive people away." β
The man glanced at the girl, and his voice did not contain a trace of emotion, "Can you afford it?"
"You!" the girl's little face was bulging with anger, and her eyes seemed to be on fire. "Cut, Brother Mo Xuan, let's go!" said that, taking Mo Xuan's hand and about to turn away, she found that Mo Xuan was not being moved, she couldn't help but look at Mo Xuan, but found that Mo Xuan was standing there, her eyes were staring at the copper turtle placed on the table for a moment.
"Brother Mo Xuan, what's wrong with you?" the girl became anxious in her heart, and hurriedly shouted, but Mo Xuan didn't seem to hear it, and walked towards the copper turtle, and the girl was anxious behind, the beautiful man on the recliner looked at this scene, a glimmer of brilliance flashed in the phoenix's eyes, he took a puff of cigarette, and seemed to watch with interest.
I saw Mo Xuan stop in front of the copper turtle and stare at the eyes of the copper turtle. And the bronze turtle seemed to have a spiritual nature, and its eyes seemed to be looking at Mo Xuan. After a while, I saw that the copper turtle actually opened its mouth, and spit out a dark jade-colored bead, round and flawless, and looked extremely perfect. The glamorous man exhaled, and the smoke in his mouth filled the wooden house, swirling and flying like a wandering soul. His eyes narrowed slightly, and the corners of his mouth showed a rare playful smile, "Interesting." β
"Hey, you, what's wrong with Brother Mo Xuan" the girl asked nervously. The glamorous man glanced at the girl and said lightly: "Little girl, don't be noisy, your brother has encountered a great creation, and it's not good for you to disturb him." β
Hearing this, the girl was speechless, and she was about to refute the man, but found that she had nothing to say.
At this moment, an inky light shot out from the jade bead, which shot into Mo Xuan's eyebrows like lightning......
Outside the door, Grandpa looked at the wooden house, the tip of his nose moved lightly, and his eyes were full of smiles. "Hey, a whole 10,000-year-old smoked wood, and this five-grain sandalwood, interesting, I haven't seen these things for a long time, I really miss it. "After that, it was a light step and stepped into it......
