036 Overnight Encounter with Demons
Mu Xi took Luo Yan and went to the mortal world.
I haven't been to the mortal world for a long time, Mu Xi misses it a little, thinking that he was a full mortal in his previous life, but he also lived for twenty years, but he has never stepped out of the city and seen the outside world in one step, and now he has become an immortal in the world, but he still hasn't been out of the temple for thousands of years, and it seems that there is no difference.
But at last, I can leave the dark temple and come to see the splendor of this world.
Mu Xi recited the spell and used his heart to sense the direction of the soul chasing bell, although the breath was very weak, but Mu Xi could still feel that it was coming from the northeast through the faint breath.
She kept flying in the northeast direction, and it wasn't until she flew into a small country called Daliang in the Nether that she felt the aura of the soul chasing bell become stronger and stronger.
Mu Xi thought that the crown prince Emperor Xuan must have been reincarnated in this country, so he had a certain number in his heart, so he was not in a hurry, and when he saw that it was getting late, he forced the clouds to find a place to rest and sleep first.
After all, although he is already an immortal, this habit of sleeping can never be changed.
She originally wanted to go to the bustling metropolis to rest, but thinking that she was in a hurry to leave the temple, she didn't bring anything valuable, so she wouldn't be caught by the official on duty at night? So I still came to the sparsely populated village, thinking about which kind-hearted villager to spend the night.
But after knocking on the door of a few houses, no villager was willing to take her in, and even saw her as if she had seen a ghost, so she was so frightened that she closed the door tighter.
Mu Xi had no choice but to rely on his last luck to knock on the somewhat tattered fence door of the last house.
The one who poked his head out was a little boy of seven or eight years old, with a soot face and tattered clothes, but he was barefoot in such a winter day, and he could afford a lot of frostbite.
Mu Xi said his intention, but the boy said very simply: "If this big brother doesn't dislike my house, come in and rest!" ”
"Can you call the shots? Why don't you ask your parents first? ”
Mu Xi felt that the child's words might not be able to count.
"No, it's just me and my grandma in my house, my grandma is sick and can't get up, so the big brother just comes in!"
The little boy spoke very simply.
"Aren't you afraid I'm a bad person?"
Mu Xi felt that he had the obligation to educate the child by the way, and he should not leave strangers to stay casually, although he was not a bad person, he would not meet him in the future.
"Don't be afraid, my family is surrounded by walls, and thieves and others can't look down on it, if it's a monster, I see that my big brother has such a bearing, and it must not be!"
The boy spoke loudly and confidently in his own judgment.
Mu Xi was a little surprised, but thinking that since he lived in someone else's house, he couldn't just accept this feeling, and when he left, he gave this little baby a few sips of the pear blossom brewed by himself, although he couldn't live forever, but it could also let him live for a hundred years.
When I entered the muddy courtyard, in addition to planting some vegetables, I saw a lot of wooden swords in front of the threshold, and although these wooden swords were rough in workmanship, they were also decent, and I inevitably asked, "You child is very fond of dancing with knives and guns!" ”
"That's not an ordinary sword and gun, that's a fairy sword made by me? Used to subdue demons and eliminate demons! ”
The boy had a very loud tone.
Mu Xi really thought it was some kind of fairy sword, and when he brought it up and took a closer look, there was no aura on the wooden sword, it was just an ordinary wooden bump.
"You are a child, you don't study hard to seek fame, but you want to subdue demons and eliminate demons, and you don't do your job, how can there be any monsters in this world, even if there are, it is also the business of the gods in the sky, you don't need to worry!" Mu Xi, like an ordinary parent and elder, also taught the boy.
"I see that the big brother's temperament is out of the dust, and I think that the law is not the same as those laymen, but I never thought that it is also so worldly, there are so many monsters in this world, how can the gods in the sky manage it, besides, the gods in the sky are also long-eyed, where the people pay more tribute, they send a fairy down to subdue the demons and eliminate the demons, like we are so barren here that we can't even eat, where can we get gold and silver incense and candles to worship, so it is better to learn the ability to subdue demons and eliminate demons!" When the boy mentioned this, his eyes showed a lot of indignation, and there was a little sourness, which made people look a little painful.
Mu Xi heard such a statement, but was a little speechless, after all, what he said is not false, if there is a monster in the mortal world, it must be to ask the Heavenly Supervisor Division to worship the gods with incense, candles, gold and silver jewelry, after the gods receive a petition from the lower world, if it is indeed a monster in the human world, let the gods go down to the mortal world to kill, if it is a little monster, sometimes it is difficult to pay attention, and can only let the mortals themselves think of it.
What's more, as the boy said, there is no money to worship the gods, and it is even more common to think about it.
Mu Xi was about to explain one or two to the heavenly immortals, but he heard a weak voice from the inner room, "Little Si'er, who are you talking to, and you are dreaming of that immortal again?" ”
The boy immediately ran to the inner room to comfort him, "Grandma, I didn't, a big brother came to stay with us for a night, so I let the big brother come in and rest!" ”
"Oh, then you are so good to entertain guests, there is a chicken at home, you kill it and cook it for the guests, you eat a little yourself!" Thinking that the grandmother wanted her grandson to eat, but the grandson was reluctant, so she used the guest as an excuse and asked the grandson to kill the chicken.
Mu Xi hurriedly stopped, "No, we have already eaten before we came, old man, you can rest more!" Mu Xi didn't want to bother himself for one night, but he actually came to this child's house and ate the only chicken.
But before Mu Xi finished speaking, he saw Luo Yan, who didn't know when he had slipped away, and came over with a chicken that had already been roasted, "Auntie, I have caught the chicken in the yard and roasted it, you can eat it!" You haven't eaten in a long time, you're hungry! ”
The boy and the old grandmother both looked at Luo Yan with blank eyes, looking at this handsome man dressed in red and with long flowing hair, as if they were dumbfounded, and they were even more shocked that he had cooked the chicken in the blink of an eye.
Mu Xi hurriedly snorted, "He's a first-class chef, so it only takes a blink of an eye to roast chicken or something..."
"No, why does he call you aunt, big brother?"
The boy looked at Mu Xi, who was a man, with a suspicious expression.
Mu Xi even forgot to go out and tell Luo Yan to change his name, and when asked at this moment, he could only smile awkwardly, and reluctantly explained: "This aunt is not Aunt Bi, I have a nickname named Gugu, he grew up with me since he was a child, and he is called Shunkou, so he has always been called like this!" ”
The little boy sighed and didn't suspect any more.
Mu Xi naturally didn't dare to swallow this chicken alone, divided it into four parts, and left a lot for the little boy and his grandmother, so that he could feel at ease, after eating, the little boy let his little bamboo bed for Mu Xi to sleep on, Mu Xi refused to do anything, on the grounds that he wanted to take care of his grandmother, he went to sleep in the firewood room.
Mu Xi laid some hay and slept on it, but Luo Yan habitually returned to his original body when he fell asleep, and used his wings as bedding to warm Mu Xi and avoid the cold.
When she slept late at night, Mu Xi suddenly felt a fishy smell coming to her face, although she didn't have much contact with monsters, she also knew that this was the so-called demonic energy, or the kind of monsters who relied on sucking human blood to boost their skills all year round to emit such a foul smell.
Mu Xi woke up immediately, heard the sound of wailing and dog barking in the distance, and immediately woke up Luo Yan.
Thinking of the little boy and the old grandmother, Mu Xi hurriedly rushed to the inner room, but saw a half-human-tall spider pressing on the roof, spitting silk from the skeleton on the roof to wrap the old grandmother and the little boy into snow-white zongzi.
The old lady was obviously out of breath, and the little boy was still desperately cutting the spider silk with his own wooden sword.
But the spider silk was so thick that no matter how much the boy cut and tore it, it would be useless.
