......

After that, the memories unfolded in front of my eyes like an accelerator, as soon as the sun came out, Zong An would come to the beach where Win Fish was, tell it about the people and monsters he usually encountered, and from time to time he would perform new tricks he had learned, and the two guys often forgot the time when they talked about it, and they laughed at every turn, and Win Fish promised Zong An to fly in the sky with him, and it also changed from one to many times.

By the time the scene in front of me returned to its normal speed again, Zong'an was close to what it was now, and it seemed that many years had passed.

"You're going to get out of here someday. Ying Yu asked suddenly.

"Why do you think of asking this?" said Zong'an, who was reading a book on the beach.

"It's not been very peaceful lately," Ying Yu said, looking at the sea, "I heard rumors among the youkai that it seems that there is a large group of guys planning to attack humans, and the youkai led by it is still a powerful youkai." ”

Zong An's eyes left the book, "Attack humans?"

"Well, it's just a few words, I don't know if it's true or not," Ying Yu said, "But if there is a need, your clan will definitely go over to help, right?"

"If there is such a thing," Zong An closed the book, "then the Zong family will definitely go." ”

"In that case, are you going to leave here?"

"Well, it might. Zong An's tone could no longer hear the happiness of his youth, but he was still gentle, "I also heard my family mention this recently. ”

"If that's the case, can I follow you?"

Zong An didn't expect Ying Yu to say this, and looked at it in surprise, "Follow?"

"Well," said Ying Yu, "I have been idle until you came, everyone said that I was a monster who brought disasters, no one wanted to talk to me, and I didn't dare to move around, for fear of bringing floods, so I wanted to compete with people when I saw them, thinking that if I won I would make him my friend, but there was no one who was willing to compete with me, and at that time I often thought, why do I live in this world because of the disaster, what is the point of such a boring day every day." ”

Zong An did not speak.

"But then, you appeared, and life became colorful, and you appeared here every day with the sun, and told me so many stories about human beings, and I felt more and more, ah human beings are so good, they can encounter so many interesting things every day, and they have invented so many interesting things, although I haven't seen them with my own eyes, but I have experienced it myself, which is very good," Ying Yu said, "but if you leave, I don't know what to do every day." ”

"Don't you have any other youkai friends?" asked Zong'an.

"There is very little concept of friends between youkai in the first place, and most of them treat each other coldly," Ying Yu said, "Not to mention that most of the youkai are afraid of my power and dare not associate with me, but when it comes to friends, I do have one, but it is a youkai that brings blessings to humans, and it is far away from me, and we will only see each other for many years." ”

Zong An was silent again.

"So I'd love to follow you," said Yingyu, "to see the world you described, and to protect you, isn't it dangerous to get rid of demons." ”

"Demon slayers are the enemies of youkai. "Most of the time, that's the case. ”

"I've heard that you demon slayer has a ritual that allows youkai to sign a contract with you, so that you can..."

"No!" Zong An interrupted Winning Fish, "This won't work. ”

Winning Fish's expression was sad.

Oh, my God... Yingyu has always wanted to sign a contract with Zong'an, so I wrote its name on the paper spirit on my own initiative, wouldn't it hate me to death...

"Alas...," Zong An sighed, "Do you know that the contract is a kind of bondage, and the youkai who sign the contract cannot disobey the orders of the master, not so much a contract, but a spell born to control the youkai, as if it were a moving seal." ”

"It doesn't matter," Ying Yu said, "I'm here every day, isn't it like a cage?

"Let's give it a try. Zong An said suddenly.

"Huh?"

"Let's try to see if you can beat me on the coast, and if you win, I'll promise to sign a pact with you. Zong An said.

This competition is more like a contest of strength, the sea water and the school of fish that win the fish are turning upside down, and Zong An's expression is solemn and calm.

......

Just like the first time, the final result ended with Zong An trapping the winning fish with a spell, and Zong An was more comfortable in the use of spells than in the first competition, and he became the leader at a young age, definitely not just luck.

"Or I won. Zong An said, "I will not sign a contract with you. ”

Win the fish without saying a word.

Zong An untied the spell on the winning fish and sat beside it, "It is estimated that in a few years, I will become the leader of the Zong family, and at that time, I am afraid that there will be no time to sit here and chat like now." ”

Winning fish still didn't speak.

"To me, to sign a contract is to deprive youkai of their freedom, and your freedom is not up to me. ”

"I don't even know what I'm living in the world for, where I can talk about freedom. Win Yu said sullenly.

"Don't think about it so much," Zong An patted the wings of the winning fish, "You just need to be yourself, you see, in order not to affect the life of human beings, haven't you already worked hard, you just need to work harder, maybe you will find your meaning in the world, the world gives you the power of the sea, it will definitely not just let you bring the flood." ”

"Who knows when we'll find out... A hundred years, or five hundred years. Win Fish said.

"That's it," Zong An stood up, "until I leave, I will come over every day, if you want to compete with me, I will accompany you at any time, as long as you win once, I will promise you." ”

The screen began to speed up again.

As Ying Yu said, the monster caused a lot of turmoil in various places, and Zong An also had to participate in the endless demon extermination, and the number of times he came to the shore became less and less, and Win Fish still did not win once, and then it sent the little monster many times to ask Zong An when he had time, and the answer he got was always, "Sorry, next time." ”

I don't know how many days and nights passed like this, until one day, the little monster's reply was that the Zong family had moved out of here.

......

"Alas... It's so boring..."Winning fish is back to the days of being in a daze on the shore.

Could it be that Zong An just disappeared like this?

As soon as I thought so, I saw a familiar figure in the picture.

Well, it's Zong An, but he has become the current Zong An, well-dressed, expressionless, unable to see emotions, cold Zong An.

I saw him go straight behind the sleeping Ying Yu, but Ying Yu didn't notice him.

Zong An stretched out his hand and wanted to pat the wings of the winning fish, but his hand stopped in mid-air and took it back.

"Let's give it a try. He said directly.

Ying Yu was woken up by his voice, opened his eyes in a daze, turned around and saw that it was Zong An, and flew up at once.

"Zong... Zong'an!" It was surprised and delighted, and it couldn't close its mouth with a smile, and kept spinning in circles in the sky, "When did you come back!

"Let's give it a try. Zong An didn't answer his question, and said lightly, "This is the last time." ”
