Chapter 9: A Demon?
Shaoyuan nodded, and said slowly: "Well, it's all to learn, Tianmen Mountain is extremely amazing, the road up the mountain is not easy to walk, and the way down the mountain is even more difficult, if you can't learn the sword, you can't go up Tianmen Mountain." Looking at her interest, Shaoyuan smiled and handed her the sword in his hand and said, "Do you want to learn?"
She looked at the sword in her hand, didn't speak, just threw the sword up, chanted a mantra in her mouth, and her hands quickly knotted the seal. In the blink of an eye, she stood on top of the flying sword in plain clothes. Shao Yuan looked at her stunned, "Do you know how to resist the sword?"
She shook her head and jumped off the sword, "I don't know, maybe it will!" said and threw the sword into Hui Shaoyuan's hand, "Let's go!"
Shao Yuan smiled and took the sword and pulled her to the sword. Along the way, Shaoyuan wanted to turn back many times, but he couldn't help it, how many secrets did she have?
Flying all the way, because of one more her, the speed of the flight is much slower, it is absolutely impossible to return to Tianmen Mountain before dark, the road to Tianmen Mountain at night will be more difficult, even if Edgeworth flies, it is difficult to have an accident, so Shaoyuan stopped in a small town not far from Tianmen Mountain.
"Why aren't you wearing shoes?" When Shaoyuan put away his sword, he accidentally saw that she didn't have shoes on her feet, so he asked curiously. Is it not or is it not worn? It's a question, but a weirdo like her seems to do everything normally.
She pulled up the corners of her skirt and looked at her little feet that were so white that they were almost transparent, yes! Why don't you wear shoes? She didn't know, but she didn't seem to have that habit, and it seemed that she didn't wear shoes in the past, she looked at Shaoyuan's shoes and then looked at her own feet, and a sentence suddenly popped up in her heart: "In order to feel the wonder of nature and the existence of life." But she didn't say it at all, just shook her head and said slowly: "I'm not used to it!"
Yes, her feet touched every inch of the earth, so close that it seemed to merge into one. It seems that this is the only way to feel that she is still alive and belongs to her original world, but where did she come from? Why does she feel alienated from everyone here, and how she feels that she can't fit in no matter how hard she tries. Was she inherently withdrawn, or did she not belong here all along?
"It's getting late, let's find an inn to rest! Shao Yuan looked at her and said slowly.
She nodded lightly, didn't speak, and followed behind Shaoyuan so quietly.
Soon, soon she will know who she is, no longer have to be confused and scared, and know that she will have the place she wants to go as soon as she knows it!
Qingshan Town is located in the north of Tianmen Mountain, which is the most prosperous town in the vicinity. At night, there is also an endless stream of people and carriages, laughing and making noise over trivial things, but isn't this the life of mortals?
She wondered why she was relieved to look at the busy crowd and feel more at ease than she had ever felt before.
Knock, knock, knock. The door rang, opened the door and saw Shaoyuan looking at her with a smile on his face, and said slowly: "Do you want to go downstairs to eat?" She nodded and closed the door gently, quietly following behind Yuanyuan, she never took the initiative to speak along the way, only when Shaoyuan asked, she didn't hesitate to pop out a few words.
Shaoyuan thought that she was just not used to talking to strangers, but he didn't know that she was out of character.
She wasn't good at ordering things, and she didn't even know what the names of those dishes meant, so she just let Shaoyuan order them according to his preferences.
Looking at more than half of the vegetarian dishes, she half-closed her eyes, but she never said anything, just picked up her chopsticks and ate silently. Looking at her demure appearance, the corners of Shaoyuan's mouth faintly turned into a smile, he knew that she loved to eat everything he ordered. It's just that after a while, he found out that she had never sandwiched a chopstick vegetarian dish from beginning to end.
"Why don't you eat these, isn't it unappetizing?" asked Shao Yuan, pointing to the dishes she hadn't tasted.
"I'm not a vegetarian. She spoke flatly, but without even raising her head, she continued to eat her own meal.
Shaoyuan didn't expect her to say this, but he just smiled and said, "Okay, I remember, I won't order these next time." She nodded and hummed softly, returning to her previous silence.
Knock, knock, bell, bell. The sound of gongs and drums came from the street, and in an instant the whole street began to boil, and a quiet dinner was ruined by this sudden sound. Before the sound stopped, I saw people running into the street from time to time, as if something was going on there.
"What's going on, why is everyone running so fast?" asked Shao Yuan, who walked out of the inn and grabbed a man who was about to go to see the excitement. The man was a little impatient when he was pulled by someone, but when he saw Shao Yuan's smiling appearance, he couldn't say those ugly words, "The garden that has been abandoned for some time in front of me has been full of Qionghua overnight. Everyone said it was a wonder, so they rushed to see it!"
It bloomed overnight, and it was in season. Shao Yuan only felt that this matter was definitely not simple, and turned to look at her, but she lowered her head and fiddled with something. He smiled and shook his head and slowly walked over to her, "Have you eaten enough?"
"There's a monster!" she said sternly as she suddenly looked up at him. Shaoyuan didn't look like she was joking, so he pulled open his robe and sat down beside her and asked, "How do you know?"
She shook her head in confusion, yes! How did she know that there were monsters? She was used to the weird Shaoyuan she had along the way, but her thoughts coincided with his.
"Do you want to see what kind of demon it is?" Shao Yuan asked tentatively as he looked at her with the corners of his mouth curled. She thought about it and finally nodded, "Okay!" She never said much, she didn't say anything that should be said or shouldn't be said, and most of the time she was immersed in her own world, and she didn't know what she was thinking.
The deserted garden was not far from the inn where Shaoyuan lived, at the end of this street. The whole abandoned garden is very large, it looks like it has been abandoned for at least 30 years, the plaque at the door hangs crookedly on it, and it seems that it may fall down at any time, and the words on it are also blurred, I don't know what is written on it.
But judging from the scale of the entire abandoned garden, the previous owners here must have been either rich or expensive. Xu fell for some reason, so he left such a large abandoned garden. The door was open, and the weeds at the door were trampled in a mess, so I think there were a lot of people walking through it.
Shao Yuan walked in front of her, put the sword in his hand across his chest, and whispered to her, "Follow me, the demonic aura here is very strong." She nodded, and followed closely in front of Metatarsal Abyss.
Looking at Shao Yuan's caution somehow, she felt that Yuan Yuan didn't have to be like this, because she didn't feel a threat here, it was calm here, and there was even a faint aura that always wanted to be close to her.
But he didn't dare to lean over, probably because the aura on Shaoyuan's body was different from here, so that aura was a little jealous of Shaoyuan.
The garden was large, but it was dilapidated everywhere, with skewed plaques with illegible handwriting and spider silk. Gravel and rotten wood can be seen everywhere, and the pond that was supposed to be a thriving business has dried up. On the cracked black pond soil, you can see the tiny white bones of Sensen, and there are a lot of weeds growing on it.
