Chapter 16: The Mystery Awaits Solution
When Wei Xiaoyu heard this, her hair stood on end by it, she had never lived in the wild, and she thought that the old man said that the place of the old cultivator might be like those small videos on the Internet, with small bridges and flowing water, pavilions and pavilions, fairy air, and a quiet and comfortable isolation from the world. Now it seems that it is basically equivalent to sleeping in the wild, it is better to sleep in the car, although it is not good to smell in the broken car, and it is not enough to take a wet and cold dew bath on the mountain, which sounds very sad.
At this time, it was almost six o'clock in the afternoon, the little boss of the B&B walked into the hall from the back door, Wei Xiaoyu subconsciously looked at him, saw that he smiled to himself without a city, erased the name of a dish on the blackboard, wrote "chilled mung bean porridge" in red chalk, and then stood behind the bar to check the computer, there may be customers who have booked online to check in to the store. The old man turned his head to look at his great-great-grandson, his face was full of seriousness and worry, he stood up silently, gave a "farewell" fist salute to Wei Xiaoyu and Mr. Xiao, and turned around slightly and walked towards the back door leading to the backyard.
Because of this "episode", Wei Xiaoyu felt some apologies for this family in her heart, and she had no intention of having dinner here again, the only thing she could do was to go out as much as possible, first, to lead out possible "trouble", and second, to avoid being embarrassed by the old man. When she passed by the bar with a heavy heart, she was stopped by the little boss, who smiled and asked, "Do you want to prepare your dinner?"
Wei Xiaoyu squeezed out a smile slightly and said, "No need, thank you." ”
The little boss still smiled and said, "Hey, it's okay, I'll leave half a pot of mung bean soup for everyone in the evening, and you can eat it yourself." ”
Wei Xiaoyu felt even more guilty at this time, nodded and walked towards the second floor, the little gentleman was on her shoulder, muttering in a low voice: "Look at it, look at it, he is talking to you again, isn't it ......?"
Wei Xiaoyu was not in the mood to talk to him, and he didn't feel hungry when he returned to the room, and lay on the bed thinking about what happened in the afternoon. Although she only spoke to her mother on the phone in the morning, now she misses the old yard a little and misses the warm and solid little wooden bed. She admired the excitement of the little gentleman all the way, as if he didn't care about anything, and at this time he was pecking millet in a small emerald green porcelain cup.
Wei Xiaoyu asked seriously, "Why are those cultivators following us?"
Mr. Xiao was originally humming "dong times", and was about to use his paw to dial the remote control, when he heard her say this, he was stunned for a moment, and replied in a disgusted and indifferent tone: "It's like you humans chasing stars! ”
Wei Xiaoyu reached over and blocked the remote control, and said, "I mean the root cause." ”
Mr. Xiao didn't expect her to be so serious, and said with a deep expression: "Actually, they are a group of demon beasts who want to snatch the little snakes, eat us, and then disguise themselves as us and blend into the spirit forest. ”
Listening to what it said, the little fish didn't even have a chance to doubt the authenticity, so the little gentleman spread his wings, stuck out his tongue and grimaced, and said, "Hahaha! I'm afraid, lie to you! They are a group of little things who want to become spirits." ”
It really didn't have much patience, it couldn't even wait five seconds to tell a lie and deceive people, and Wei Xiaoyu then asked, "This still doesn't explain why you follow us?"
Mr. Xiao blinked, looked at her and said, "I just said you were stupid, but Ah Qifei said you were smart." Becoming a soul is not a simple matter. It suddenly became irritable for no reason, and said, "So I followed the things in the spirit forest! Because I haven't seen it, I'm curious and envious!"
Wei Xiaoyu felt that this attitude was its normal state, and what he said was more credible. "So there's no danger, right?" she said, again with her own concerns.
The little gentleman took two steps to the pillow on which it had been lying yesterday, spread its wings, fell back in an exaggerated manner, and said with its back to the sky, "Alas, human beings...... It's always low-level thinking. If the cultivator can follow us, it means that other things can too!"
Wei Xiaoyu's nerves tensed again, and asked, "What else is there?"
The little gentleman said, "The power from the evil world!"
Wei Xiaoyu waited for it to make a grimace and say "lie to you" like just now, but Mr. Xiao didn't move for a long time, and looked at the roof in a daze, as if he had fallen into his own thoughts. "So...... Is it the demon in the 'Spirit and Demon Two Realms' that Ah Qi said?" she asked.
The little gentleman said, "Well, there is another ...... It's self-righteous, eating, drinking, and Lazar, like you humans!"
Wei Xiaoyu said: "You can't say that, otherwise Ah Qi won't come to me, and you won't be with me, I'm also a human being." After she finished defending her position, she continued to ask, "So those demons ...... What do you want to do?"
The little gentleman said: "Monsters naturally want things from the spirit world as well, which can increase their strength. ”
Wei Xiaoyu asked, "So, can we defeat them?"
The little gentleman said, "Why do you have so many questions today?"
Wei Xiaoyu was finally able to express his dissatisfaction all the way from home, saying, "Because you didn't tell me anything." ”
The little gentleman raised his little head looking up at the roof, twisted his neck and looked at her and said, "Have you seen less? Those little things just now, those little things that have been cultivated for decades, two or three hundred years, don't even know if the spirit forest really exists. Not to mention seeing the phoenix, and such a precious spirit pearl, how can you be so ungrateful!"
Wei Xiaoyu said: "I know that I am very lucky, but there are dangers, right? If I don't always understand the situation, I'm afraid I won't be able to complete the task." ”
The little gentleman snorted disdainfully and said, "What task do you complete? You, it's up to you? You're just ...... Well, what did I want to watch just now?" it said as it jumped over and pulled the TV remote control that the little fish had inadvertently let go of with its paws.
Wei Xiaoyu said, "Just, what am I?"
Mr. Xiao had already turned on the TV at this time, and while pulling the remote control to the pillow, he said with a disapproving face: "A stupid human being, he already knows about the existence of Linglin, what danger are you worried about?"
Wei Xiaoyu pondered what it had just said, did it think that life and death were trivial matters? Could it be because it knew that there were other forms of existence, such as the old man and those small animals just now, such as the "Spirit and Demon Realms"? Even if there were, she felt unacceptable for a while. At this time, I heard Mr. Xiao say meaningfully: "Only when the soul is tempered and punished is it truly terrible." ”
It was rare for Wei Xiaoyu to see that it was willing to take the initiative to talk about this, and asked: "So people really have souls after death, yes, I have seen it just now! That old man is", her emotions suddenly became a little excited, and then said: "So in the old yard of my family, is my grandfather also there?"
The little gentleman sat down and leaned on the pillow, and said slowly: "Not necessarily, there are still some uncontrollable opportunities, and they have something to do with their wishes." ”
From the moment Wei Xiaoyu saw the old man, he was thinking that he might be able to see his deceased grandfather in the old yard. She misses when he was alive, and many of the principles of life and past stories were taught to her by him. But now when I hear Mr. Xiao say this, I can't help but feel very lost.
I saw the little gentleman jump up, and while pressing the remote control to change the channel, he said, "So it's the old man in the back room who is wearing a white vest, tall and thin, and lying with a fan in his hand?"
Wei Xiaoyu immediately became overjoyed, and asked excitedly: "He usually sleeps in the Westinghouse, why did he go to the back?"
The little gentleman said, "Where is the case where you usually put incense and offerings to him? And the house is clean and hidden. ”
Wei Xiaoyu suddenly became a little incoherent happily, and said, "But at that time, then, why didn't I see him when you came?"
The little gentleman said loudly, "Because of what? Because Ah Qi only let me wake you up alone!"
