Chapter 24: The Secret Affairs of the Mountain Youguo (12)
Because he didn't look at people carefully last time, this time Zixu took a serious and careful look at this person's appearance, and found that it was consistent with what Ah Nian said, and the person in front of him looked very similar to Wu Yu. The scar on his face is still clear and conspicuous, although it doesn't seem to be hideous and terrible at this time, but Zixu still feels a pity that such a good-looking face was ruined by this scar.
"Do you know why I'm seeing you?" asked Shuo Ye as she looked at Zixu.
Zixu shook his head.
"You don't know why I let you go that day, do you?"
Zixu nodded.
Shuo Ye smiled slightly, as if he was a little sad.
Zixu was confused.
"Sit down first! I don't know where to start. β
Zixu sat down unceremoniously across from him. He wanted to ask but didn't know where to start, so he could only choose to remain silent.
"Do you know who I am?"
"I don't know. Zixu replied truthfully.
"I am now the monarch of Shanyou Country, and my name is Shuoye. β
"Oh. "Of course, Zixu was a little surprised, but he was not too surprised, he was very curious in his heart, why did the king of a country talk to him?" After exiting, Zi regretted it slightly, because he remembered that Ah Nian always said that he was not worthy of being a disciple of Penglai.
"Nothingness is nothing. Do you know why you're calling Zixu?"
"I don't know. Zixu thought that he should ask his master why his old man gave him such a Taoist name.
"I really don't know where to start. In the early years, Penglai and I had some old stories. Shuo Ye raised his eyebrows slightly, "Do you want to hear it?"
Zi smiled and said, "Doesn't it all depend on whether Your Excellency wants to say it or not?" If he doesn't want to tell him, what does he call him to do?
Zixu has the mentality that if you come, you will be safe, you say I will listen, if you don't say it, I will leave...... It's a pity that there is no tea and melon seeds, otherwise he plans to drink tea and eat melon seeds at the same time, when he is here to listen to books, it is so comfortable......
Ah Nian and Jiaoyue walked out of the courtyard at night, and the two walked slowly and aimlessly side by side, and no one spoke for a long time, and the two of them had their own thoughts......
"Wow-"
Jiaoyue suddenly exclaimed, and the whole person was about to fall forward - Ah Nian reacted very quickly and stopped her waist and grabbed the person. Kyaukyue was so frightened that she had closed her eyes, and she didn't feel the coldness and pain of landing on the ground for a long time before she opened her eyes and found the fact that Ah Nian had intercepted her.
"The road is unstable, what are you thinking?" Although Ah Nian asked, he didn't have a position.
Kyaukyue smiled shyly, "Thank you, Miss Ah Nian." β
Ah Nian helped her stand up and let go of her hand, and looked back at the road she had walked, "The road is quite smooth, how can you still fall?"
"I ......" Kyaukyue touched her red nose in shame, "I don't know, I just always wrestle." β
Ah Nian couldn't be sure if she was stupid like this or if she was born inadequate, so she thought for a while and didn't ask any more, but happened to catch a glimpse of the black cloak on her body, so she casually changed the subject and asked, "This cloak is not yours, is it?"
Kyaukyue shook her head, "It's not mine, it's ...... Brother Night's. β
"Who is your night brother?" Ah Nian felt that this kind of material was slightly familiar, but he didn't remember who it was for a while, but he just thought that it should be someone here. Ah Nian doesn't know Shuoye's name yet, only that he is the new monarch of Shanyouguo.
"That's it...... He is the king of this country!"
Ah Nian suddenly realized. Although the patterns are different, the material of the cloak on Kyaukyue's body is the same as the material used for the clothes on the new monarch's body.
At this time, Ah Nian still didn't quite understand what kind of relationship Shuoye had with Kyaukyue, but she thought that it was someone else's own business, and she didn't need to ask.
Jiaoyue tilted her head to look at Ah Nian, and asked in a low voice, "Ah Nian, you are smarter than me, you say...... Can one become two and then become one?"
"No, you can't. β
The moon looked like a frost-beaten leaf, and it withered all at once.
Seeing this, Ah Nian immediately added, "Unless he is not human." If it's not a human, it's a demon or a fairy, and it's not impossible to be separated. β
"Oh. Kyaukyue smiled shallowly, seemingly happy.
One becomes two and then becomes one...... Ah Nian felt that there must be a reason why Jiaoyue would ask such a strange thing, and with Jiaoyue's few bent brains, this was probably something she had encountered recently, and Ah Nian thought of Shuoye and Wu Wei for no reason.
In fact, Ah Nian thought that it should be easy to get words out of Kyaukyue's mouth, but she didn't do that.
"Are they good to you?" Ah Nian asked with concern. After all, she had picked her up, but had returned her to Shuo Ye with her own hands, and she felt that she was somewhat responsible for her situation.
Kyaukyue furrowed her brows, she hadn't held back the words for a long time, and it seemed difficult to answer.
"They're not good to you?" asked Ah Nian.
Jiaoyue shook her head, "Brother Night was really terrible before, but ...... He's good when he's not fierce. β
Ah Nian's impression of Shuoye is not good, he is full of ferocity, cold and severe, and his temperament should not be good, not to mention that his name for killing his father and mother is well known to everyone, it is really difficult to think that he is a good person under such a premise, Ah Nian guesses that he may even have a violent side, but for this rabbit demon, he obviously has some special treatment, although the special point that Ah Nian knows is basically not good.
"Did you follow him of your own free will?" asked Ah Nian again.
"It wasn't before. He used to lock me up, and if I ran away, he would arrest me and go back......"
As she spoke, she was thinking about the past, which had obviously not made her happy, and her little face showed some horror. And these are still within Ah Nian's expectations.
"But now...... It's a little different now, and I don't want to leave him for a while. Kyaukyue smiled a little shyly and timidly, "It's not because the fox threatens me, it's that I want to take another look and see if what he said is true." β
There are a lot of things in these words and Kyaukyue's demeanor, but Ah Nian is not good at investigating deeply, so he avoids asking.
After that, Ah Nian and Jiaoyue talked a lot of things, but they were all trivial things that didn't matter. Most of what Jiaoyue told Ah Nian was the little things she and her friends on the mountain when she lived on Lingyou Mountain, and Ah Nian also found it interesting, and Ah Nian herself had nothing to say, so she picked out some small stories that she heard from her grandmother or read in books and told them to Jiaoyue, and Jiaoyue listened to them with great interest.
Today is a good day, and the sun is seen before noon, which makes people feel refreshed.
When it was close to noon, Ah Nian had nothing to do, so he went to the kitchen to get some food. Jiaoyue originally came over to help, but because she was really not the material for doing things, she would only help more and more, so Ah Nian sent her away on the pretext of sending tea......
It wasn't until Jiaoyue carefully left with the tea, and Ah Nian was alone in the kitchen to make noodles, that she remembered that Zixu and Shuoye had talked for a long time. She had to wonder what those two people had to say, to be able to talk for so long......
Ah Nian was thinking, and suddenly there was a voice behind him-
"Miss Ah Nianβ"
Ah Nian was startled, turned his head and looked, no surprise was Zixu. Calming down, Ah Nian asked, "Are you done talking?"
Zixu nodded, looking very tired. He took a deep breath and cheered up, "That little rabbit demon girl said you are in the kitchen, so I'll come over to see if there is anyone I can help." β
"Her name is Kyaukyue. Anuti nodded.
"Oh. Bright Moon. Zixu wrote it down very seriously, and sighed, "It's like a silver plate and the moon." β
"It's so cute!" said Ah Nian.
"Yes!" Zi glanced at Ah Nian, "Ah Nian, if you raise the flesh on your face and don't be so shriveled, maybe it will look better." β
Ah Nian turned his head to glare at him, and Zixu immediately shrank his head and took two steps back.
"Will you do the kitchen?" Ah Nian retracted his gaze and straightened up. This kind of thing, if you have great ability, it is naturally better. Although Ah Nian has seen Zixu's body, he is so thin that he is not a few taels of flesh, which is better than skin and bones, but Ah Nian thinks that he is a big man after all, he is taller than her, his arms are thicker, and his strength should be better than hers.
"I'm out alone, I often have to take care of myself, and I'm greedy for food, so I have to know how to order!" Zixu went around to the water tank and washed his hands, then leaned over and pushed Ah Nian aside with his elbow, "I'll come!"
Ah Nian immediately got out of the way, looked at it for a while, and saw that he was doing a good job, so he went to wash his hands. Turning back, Ah Nian wiped her hands and asked what she had prepared earlier, "What did he say to you, it took so long?" Ah Nian did not hide his curiosity in front of him. She didn't ask about Kyaukyue, first, she wasn't that familiar with Kyaukyue, and second, she knew too much for fear of getting into trouble, and for Zixu, she had to admit that they weren't really familiar with each other, and she didn't think she would necessarily get into trouble, but she just wanted to know that she was interested in everything about him.
Zixu stopped what he was doing and spread his hands with a painful face, "I don't know what he said. β
Ah Nian sneered unceremoniously, "Are you not good at your ears or your brains and can't understand him?"
"He said a lot of things, basically I didn't know before, and I couldn't fight with me, I really don't understand...... Why is he telling me this?"
"What the hell did he say?"
He first talked about the Penglai faction. β
Regarding the Penglai faction, Ah Nian looked at Zixu Dao very complicatedly, "An outsider who has nothing to do with Penglai knows more about the Penglai faction than you as a Penglai disciple, you ......" Ah Nian shook his head silently.
"He told me about the founder of the Penglai faction, and he felt that he knew that person and was quite familiar......" Zixu said with a boring face, "No matter who that person is, what does it have to do with me?"
"I really haven't heard of who your Penglai sect ancestor is. "Ah Nian saw about Penglai from books, and only knew that it was a group of immortal cultivators, that is to say, it was the first immortal cultivator faction, but who founded Penglai faction was not mentioned in the book.
He didn't say who it was or what it was, anyway, he only said that there was such a person, and it seemed quite capable. β
"You didn't ask?"
"Why do you ask?" Zi said with a false smile, "My master doesn't know either, and the Penglai faction file doesn't record it, so it means that either this person can't know, or it doesn't matter at all, so why do I know?"
Ah Nian actually felt that he made a lot of sense. This man was never really confused!
Zixu buried his head in a serious face, and Ah Nian didn't ask any more.
Zixu reconciled the noodles, and then finished the rolling noodles and stuffing together, and did it smoothly, and finally burned the fire and stood on the stove, and he was also very skilled, and Ah Nian was only responsible for waiting to eat on the side.
Ah Nian didn't want to eat it at first, the effect of the three-flavor carefree grass was still there, and she was not hungry, but before the pot, Zixu specially gave Ah Nian a small bowl to try, and Ah Nian didn't refuse, so she ate a small bowl.
Ah Nian has never eaten out, it is all made by her grandmother or herself, although she is not convinced now, Ah Nian has to admit that this person's cooking skills are better than her and her grandmother.
Zixu waited for Ah Nian to praise him with a bright face, Ah Nian saw it, but he didn't plan to praise him, and deliberately said, "It's a pity that it's not a girl who is so virtuous!"
"Then Miss Ah Nian is so unvirtuous, isn't it pitiful to be a girl?"
"Are you saying that the food I cook is unpalatable?" Ah Nian frowned.
"Miss Ah Nian's cooking skills...... It's not unpalatable, but it's not delicious, it's not as good as me anyway!"
Although he was telling the truth, Ah Nian was still angry, "It's good if you didn't poison you!" Ah Nian threw the dishes and chopsticks to him and left-
"Miss Ah Nian, do you still want it?"
Zixu's loud shouting came from the kitchen......
"Don't!" Ah Nian replied very resolutely, walking faster and faster, and soon disappeared......
