Volume 5: Traveling with the King Chapter 77 Appealing to the Heart
In the blink of an eye, it was another morning.
Shangqiu is still the peaceful Shangqiu, but some people will feel extremely happy, some people will feel inexplicably sad, of course, most people are happy. The autumn breeze is cool, and every household, shop and business will open their doors to bring in fresh air, and it is a new day.
Xue Yan got up early this time, and that was only because she couldn't sleep at all, and she couldn't sleep since she came back from Qinglingtai. She got up, quickly combed her makeup, and wanted to go to Situ Yunmeng and Han Yu, but when she went to their room and wanted to knock on the door, she withdrew her hand and turned to Han Ye's door and knocked a few times, but no one answered.
"Can't you stay in the room honestly?" Xue Yan frowned and thought, went downstairs, couldn't find Han Ye, and went out of the store to look around, but saw a peerless beauty in white clothes and yellow dresses sitting on the roof of a high-rise building.
Xue Yan jumped up as soon as she jumped up, landed lightly on the house, sat down next to Yun Meng, and put her hands on her legs, if she hadn't coughed, I'm afraid Yun Meng wouldn't know that there was an extra person around her.
Yun Meng glanced at Xue Yan and said, "Yan'er, it turned out to be your ......."
Xue Yan asked with concern, "You've been sitting here?" ”
Yun Meng sighed and said, "I sent myself up with the Wind Resisting Technique, and I watched the moon go down and the sun rise here...... Yun Meng's tone was indescribably decadent, and he glanced at the bustling street under his feet, and said, "You, you won't come to me, right?" I've also looked for Ah Ye, but he doesn't know where he went, and he looked depressed last night. ”
Xue Yan patted the roof tiles and said, "I'...... What the hell are we going to do with that nerd? Can't we just talk for a while? ”
Yun Meng listened, clasped his hands on his knees, and sighed, "What is there to talk about?" Do you want to talk about last night's regrets again? It's all my fault that I didn't rush over earlier to save Bai Lang and Ning Shuang! ”
"What's wrong with you?!" Xue Yan blushed and said hurriedly: "You all blame me!" I came to a conclusion before things were sorted out, if I wasn't too arbitrary, Bai Lang wouldn't have died, and Ning Shuang and he could continue to live happily, but now...... Alas, I want to blame you for being too soft-hearted and indulging in demons, but now it seems that you are really much better than me! ”
Yun Meng closed his eyes compassionately and said, "I just think that in the six worlds of heaven and earth, people have affection, and demons may not be ruthless......
Xue Yan looked at the pure and kind Yunmeng, bowed her head and said: "I have been wandering and being ostracized since I was a child, every time I see those weak beggars being bullied, I want to stand up to protect them, but I am not very bold myself, I always think that in the future, I must be a heroine, travel all over the world, police and punish adultery!" But ......" said and spoke, his tone suddenly trembled, and he also put his hands around his knees, buried his head in it, and cried: "I learned these martial arts, I thought I was very great, I thought I could fight for others, but I hurt Bai Lang and Ning Shuang!" I regret it so much! Woo woo woo~! ”
When Situ Yunmeng heard Xue Yan crying, he was at a loss, first patted her back gently, and when he saw that it was useless, he put his arm on her shoulder, and said with relief: "Don't cry, you ...... You cry like this, I want to cry too...... I! Woo woo woo~! As he spoke, he began to cry himself, crying so much that he kept wiping his tears with his sleeves.
Yun Meng's crying is much more powerful than Xue Yan, Xue Yan only cried for a while before accepting it, she looked at Yun Meng and thought, "You are really good!" It was supposed to comfort me, but I cried, and it was endless! Alas! Then he thought: "She cried so freely in front of me, which made me understand that her vulnerability was because of ...... Does she treat me as a friend? ”
Thinking of this, Xue Yan hurriedly went to coax Yunmeng, couldn't help but hug her, patted her back, smelled the faint fragrance emanating from her delicate body, and couldn't help but be a little drunk.
"Okay, okay, we won't cry anymore?" Xue Yan coaxed two sentences, and found that it was useless at all, so she suddenly had an idea, and said in the distance: "Hey! Silly, the lover of your dreams is crying like this, why are you standing stupidly? Why don't you comfort me? ”
When Yun Meng heard this, his crying became thinner, and he turned his head to look, where is there any Han Ye? couldn't help but look at Xue Yan with a resentment, and said, "Yan'er, you are lying again." ”
Xue Yan blushed and said, "Hey, hey, hey!" What do you mean by 'again'? Has this girl lied to you before? ”
Yun Meng sat up straight, raised his sleeves and smiled, and said, "If you lie to Ah Ye, it's not a lie?" ”
Xue Yan crossed her hands on her hips and said, "But people lied to you once, right?" I've always told you the truth, but what about you? The first time we met, you pretended to thank me, but in fact, you asked me to leave, to be honest, it was very unpleasant to see you at that time! ”
Yun Meng was slightly stunned and asked, "What about now?" ”
Xue Yan tilted her head angrily and said, "It's not good to say." ”
Yun Meng sighed and said, "I also know that goodness is like water, and it benefits all things without fighting...... But I think the indisputability of water lies in the fact that it doesn't need anything in the first place, and there are no people it cherishes, alas, it seems that I can't do this, I just don't want to give up the people I like to others. ”
Xue Yan smiled: "Did I tell you to let me?" ”
Yun Meng shook his head and said, "No." ”
Xue Yan clapped her hands and said, "Isn't that enough?" Are you still afraid that I will snatch the stupid melon away? Will his bear-like aunt be able to see it? ”
Yun Meng forced a smile and thought: "I am a daughter's family like you, you can't look at it, I naturally know, alas." ”
The two were dull for a moment, and Yun Meng deliberately avoided the topic and said, "Yan'er, what do you think...... Is there any difference between a human and a demon? ”
Xue Yan said without thinking: "People are people, and demons are all kinds of birds, beasts, insects, fish, grass, trees, earth and stones, but they can speak human words and do personnel." ”
Situ Yunmeng listened, and suddenly asked a question that no one else had thought of before, and this question also made Xue Yan's view of demons in the future greatly changed, only to hear Yunmeng ask: "Speak human words...... Do personnel ...... Isn't that just another kind of 'person'? ”
Xue Yan was stunned, and said, "But they eat people!" ”
Situ Yunmeng said indifferently: "I have read a lot of history books, people are hungry and have nothing to eat, they will eat people, and goblins will eat goblins, but when they get together, they will gradually form a consensus, which is what we often call morality." ”
"Morality?" Xue Yan couldn't help asking, "Do goblins also talk about morality?" ”
Yun Meng said: "Isn't Bai Lang that? Together with Ning Shuang, he was gradually moved by her kindness, let go of his hatred for people in the past, and never hurt anyone again. And the goblins are also very grateful, there will be retribution, after all, the Zhongshan wolf is only a few, and people have done a lot of things to take revenge? As he spoke, he added: "When Ah Ye and I went to the Divine Wood Forest, we passed by a place called the Crying Swamp, where there was a kind of wild man, who seemed to come from the far west, and they only ate ghosts and corpses at first, and then gradually began to grow their own food......
Xue Yan's eyes lit up, and she said, "You mean, if the demons gather together, can talk, and can work, when they find that they can't fill their stomachs by eating people, maybe they have good thoughts, and they will also learn to farm and work?" This...... Is this possible? It's unacceptable! ”
Yun Meng said: "Although I have never seen it with my own eyes, I think it is indeed possible...... Some demons occupy the bottom of the mountains and live exclusively by devouring passers-by, like wolves that hunt rabbits. But what about when they are in the thousands? Are they going to fight to the death for food? ”
Xue Yan nodded and said, "Yunmeng, maybe you're right, the demons who gather will eventually form their own unique order like us, and that is the most terrifying thing about them...... Because although the demons have strong spiritual power, they are scattered in the world, and it is hard to imagine that when they unite to form an army, what other team in the world can defeat them! ”
Yun Meng sighed: "I hope that humans and demons can coexist peacefully, just like Bai Lang and Chu Ningshuang." Speaking of Bai and Chu, Xue Yan felt guilty inexplicably, Yun Meng stroked her shoulders and said, "Yan'er doesn't have to be too sad, I thought about it for a long time, even if we didn't come to Shangqiu, Bai Lang almost exhausted his thousand-year-old cultivation in order to cure Ning Shuang's eyes, and if it weren't for Ning Shuang's extreme sadness, her eyes wouldn't be better, and she might not be able to see Bai Lang's true face until she died." ”
Xue Yan's eyes were dim, she looked at the street under her feet, and said regretfully: "But I still killed them after all." ”
Yun Meng said: "You fulfilled them. In this world, it is despised for everyone to fall in love with demons, and perhaps Bai Lang and Ning Frost will suffer a lot of criticism and discrimination...... Now they have turned into spirits, lingering in the acacia tree, you have me, I have you, leaving behind the troubles of the world, I think, no one will blame you, Yan'er. ”
Xue Yan perked up a little and said, "Okay, although I am still very guilty, but you have comforted me so much, thank you very much, Xiaomeng......" Xue Yan suddenly felt that Yunmeng was actually a person to rely on, and wanted to give her a friendly name, but she didn't think about it for a while, so she said: "Xiaomengmeng." ”
"Little Mengmeng?" Situ Yunmeng's willow eyebrows frowned.
Xue Yan hurriedly waved her hand and said quickly: "No, no, if you don't like me, you still call you Yunmeng!" ”
Situ Yunmeng was noncommittal, but he was thinking in his heart: "Why does she call me that?" But it's so strange that no one has ever given me a nickname...... Did she treat me as the closest person by doing this? ”
Xue Yan saw that Yunmeng was unacceptable, so she simply diverted the topic and said, "Let's talk on it for so long, what if the stupid melon and the stupid melon sister come to us?" Why don't you go back and have a look first? ”
Yun Meng glanced at Xue Yan and nodded.
So, the second daughter returned to the hotel.
At this time, the brothers and sisters of the Han family were already sitting at a table, and sitting with them was an old man dressed in a dark robe, unkempt, with gray hair and bright eyes.
In addition to the three of them, there was also a lively spotted mouse sitting on the table, and the mouse was even more happy to see Yun Meng coming, got up and waved his paws to say hello, and then rushed to Yun Meng's fragrant shoulder.
Han Ye didn't say a word, and only nodded when he saw the second daughter coming, while Han Yu didn't pay attention to the arrival of the second daughter, but continued to happily say to the old man: "Senior brother, I didn't expect to meet you here, it's really a blessing." ”
The old man was calm, breathing steadily, and said with a smile: "Senior sister, senior brother is also helpless, the demon qi in the lock demon tower has been surging abnormally over the years, and it seems that a lot of demons have escaped because of this, the master ordered me to wait for the mountain to descend the demon, I heard that there is a demon in Shangqiu, so I rushed over." Saying that, he frowned and said, "Senior sister, have you heard anything related to this here?" ”
"Yes, yes, I have caught demons with my brothers and sisters." Han Yu said, his eyebrows tightened, and he said with a little sadness: "It's a pity that the demon is dead." ”
The old man asked, "Why is it a pity?" But whoever is caught in the lock demon tower must be an evil demon and a demon, if he escapes, he will definitely harm the world, and the senior sister should be happy to remove a harm for the people of Shangqiu. ”
Han Yu said to him carefully, and the old man held up his chin and pondered for a while, feeling quite touched, and nodded: "I will explain this matter to the master." ”
At this time, Han Yu saw that Yan and Meng had stopped outside the door for a long time and greeted them.
"The two must be Xue Nuxia and Miss Situ, right? My sister mentioned it to me just now. The old man looked at the second daughter slightly, and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, the last time you came to Shushan, it happened that I went down the mountain to investigate the situation, so I missed it, I am the big disciple of the head of Shushan, Changfeng, and the Taoist number is Qingxuan." ”
Han Ye only spoke at this time, and bowed his hand to Qingxuan: "My sister, thank you for taking care of me, I am grateful." After all, for Han Ye, even if he was depressed, he still couldn't miss the etiquette.
"Don't dare to be ashamed, dare not be ashamed!" Qingxuan waved his hand and said with a smile: "I'm ashamed to say that I, as a senior brother, often go down the mountain, and I don't see my junior sister very often, and most of my junior sisters are taken care of by masters, uncles, and junior brothers." Saying that, he looked at Han Ye again, and said with a smile: "Having said that, before going down the mountain this time, I heard that you were a talent, and now you can see it, and it really deserves your name, having an elder brother like you is really a blessing for a junior sister!" ”
Seeing that Senior Brother praised her brother like this, Han Yu couldn't help but blush slightly, stroked his shoulder and said, "Senior Brother is right, my brother is naturally the best brother in the world." ”
Han Ye's brows stretched slightly when she heard this, and the rest of the people were also laughing on the side, only the spotted mouse was extremely restless, moving around on Yun Meng's shoulder, and suddenly squeaked, and pushed her white clothes into it, scurrying on the fragrant snow skin.
Yun Meng's pretty face turned red immediately, and he said in a panic: "Hey, it won't work there!" ”
Xue Yan couldn't look at it for a long time, so she reached into Yun Meng's clothes, pulled out the spotted mouse, and scolded her in her hand: "Lustful mouse! What do you want to do in Yunmeng's clothes! ”
"I don't mean anything else." The spotted mouse winced and said, "Because the fairy is very fragrant and soft, I can't help but get into it." ”
"Really?" Xue Yan said ill-intentionedly: "This girl can't help but want to pull out a few of your beards now." ”
"Don't! Creak! The spotted rat trembled with fright, closed its eyes, and barked in fear.
Yun Meng's heart softened suddenly, and said to Xue Yan: "Yan'er, that's it." As he spoke, he took the spotted mouse from Xue Yan's hand, held it in the palm of his hand, and said seriously: "Mouse, you can stop on my shoulder, but don't drill into my clothes again, otherwise don't follow me in the future." ”
"Got it! Fairy-sama! The spotted mouse opened its small eyes and nodded to Yunmeng very reverently.
"Only Yunmeng believes your nonsense." Xue Yan clasped her hands in front of her and said disdainfully: "In short, if I want to see you take advantage of Yunmeng again, don't want those few beards of yours!" ”
"Squeak~" The spotted mouse curled up in Yunmeng's palm in panic, and he didn't dare to come out.
At this time, Qing Xuan and the Han family brothers and sisters had been talking for a while, and when they saw the sun was rising, they got up and said, "Okay, since this is the case, I have to leave to go back to Shushan early, and the mountain has not been peaceful recently." ”
Han Yu saw that Qing Xuan, who had always been open-minded, also had a worried face, and asked with concern: "Senior brother, is there an accident in Shushan?" ”
"Actually, it's just about the Demon Lock Tower." Qing Xuan said worriedly: "The day before yesterday, I was catching a snake demon in Suzhou, and Uncle Yuanyun sent a message to me from the disciples of Shushan, saying that the foundation of the Lock Demon Tower was unstable recently, the aura was chaotic, and there was a danger of the demon breaking the tower. I was going to calm the demon trouble here first and then go back, but since this is over, I won't stay longer, so I will leave. With that, Edgeworth was leaving.
"Wait." Han Yu waved his hand to stop Qing Xuan, and glanced at his brother hesitantly, Han Ye nodded to her, and she said reassuringly: "Senior brother, I have been nurtured by Shushan for many years, and now that there is something in Shushan, I should go back with you." ”
"This ......" Qing Xuan glanced at the Han family brothers and sisters with a difficult face, and said with a wry smile: "Senior sister, you first recognized Han Ye's junior brother, and you should enjoy the love of brother and sister when you go to the mountain, so I will recall you at this time, even if I can bear it, how can the master and the junior brothers bear it?" ”
Han Ye smiled when he heard this, and said: "Senior Brother Qingxuan is worried, my brother and sister have been taught by their father and mother since childhood, and they remember the reason of repaying kindness, Shushan is not only kind to my sister, but also has great kindness to me. ”
"yes." Han Yu got the support of his brother, and hurriedly answered: "Even if my brothers and sisters and I travel all over the world, and we are always worried about Shushan, it is better to go back and do what we can, and it can be regarded as doing something for the common people in the world." ”
Qing Xuan saw that his brother and sister were already of one heart and one mind, so he didn't persuade him, and said with a smile: "Okay, junior sister really has a good brother, and I also have a good junior brother!" He touched his white beard, looked at the other two girls, stretched out his finger and asked, "I don't know...... What do the two of them mean? ”
Yun Meng saluted Qing Xuan and said softly: "Don't worry, Dao Chief, where Ah Ye goes, Yun Meng should follow him." ”
Xue Yan put her hands behind her back and said sideways, "What are you doing watching this woman?" Melon and I are companions from birth to death, old man. ”
At this time, the spotted mouse suddenly shook his hand and said, "I'll go too!" I'll go too! ”
"What are you going to do!" Xue Yan crossed his hands on his hips and said, "Do you want to entangle Yunmeng to death, so that you can continue to take advantage?" ”
"Xiaoxian doesn't dare!" The spotted mouse hurriedly explained to Xue Yan: "I have a friend, he and I cultivated together to become an immortal, and then encountered a natural disaster, I accidentally separated from him, I looked for more than ten years and didn't find him, so I settled in Shangqiu, and now I have met you, I can follow you while looking for him." ”
"You'll save you a lot of trouble." Xue Yan said: "Tell us to take you, a stupid mouse, to another stupid mouse." ”
The spotted mouse said aggrievedly: "My friend is not a mouse, he is a cat with a high level of morality." ”
"Interesting." Xue Yan raised her eyebrows and said with a smile: "You are a mouse and he is a cat, he still doesn't bite you, this kind of friend can also be made, and the dog will laugh when he hears it." ”
The spotted mouse said disdainfully: "Your tongue twister is really badly written, you can see that you have no knowledge at a glance, and you are much worse than the fairy lady." ”
"Yunmeng has talent to learn, of course I can't compare." Xue Yan pointed her onion-like jade finger at the head of the spotted mouse and said, "But my aunt is at least better than you stupid mouse." ”
"Okay, okay." The spotted mouse said helplessly: "You can do whatever you say." ”
At this time, Han Ye poured a sip of wine, slapped the table, and said to everyone: "Since everyone has decided to go to Shu Mountain, then without further ado, leave immediately." ”
Qing Xuan was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "I'm sorry everyone, pack your luggage and leave immediately." ”
Qing Xuan then led everyone away from Shangqiu.
