Chapter 57: Swallow Boy
The next morning, it was cloudy.
The competition of the Liujiang Conference will last for three days, and today many people from the rivers and lakes are going to Yanxiantai.
Song You saw the pavilion again, and saw the path leading to the pavilion, but today there was no smoke and haze, and everything looked very clear.
And he didn't have any worries, he still walked up.
It didn't take long to reach the pavilion.
Still sit cross-legged and watch the scenery.
Anqing mountains and rivers are suitable for sunny and rainy, each with its own style.
It didn't take long for another swallow to fly from nowhere in the sky, still flying indiscriminately, up and down, left and right, but it never left the sky above Yan Xiantai. This reminded Song You of the summer evening, there are always swallows flying in the sky, and they are also so light, giving people a feeling of being unrestrained and free.
Song You stood up and patted the dust.
I saw him bow to the sky:
"I've been here for a long time, why don't you talk about it?"
Swallows are still flying in the sky.
The people in the rivers and lakes below are also amazed-
It's too early in the season.
However, everyone knows that this place is called Yan Xiantai, and they have all heard the rumors of Yan Xiantai and Yan Xian, and when they look up, they are not only surprised, but also have a little respect.
Just look at it, and the swallow is gone.
There was already a young boy in the mountainside pavilion.
Look at this young man about 2728 years old, slender, red lips and white teeth, extremely beautiful, at first glance, it is difficult to distinguish between men and women.
It's hard to describe the beauty of a teenager in words.
There are a lot of peerless beauties and jade sons in the book these years, but in fact, due to many reasons, there are not many people who are really good-looking in reality. And due to the limitations of makeup technology, if a person looks good, he really has to be natural and good-looking, which is scarce. And the appearance of the young man in front of him, whether it is in the previous life or the future life, it is difficult for anyone to compare with each other.
Because he is not a mortal in the first place, naturally, no matter how good-looking a mortal is, he is not as good as him.
It's not surprising that it's a youkai.
Most of the demons who are transformed are interested in pursuing their appearance.
But this young man seemed to be extremely afraid of life, or extremely afraid of people, or extremely afraid of Song You, just standing on the edge of the pavilion, his eyes dodging, not daring to look at him, and raised his hand to salute:
"In Xia Yan'an, I have seen Mr. ......"
"In the lower Song tour, polite."
After Song You returned the salute, he asked, "Is there a place under your feet?" β
"No, no ......"
"Seems to be very restrained? Are you afraid of me? β
"It's not...... That's how ...... I am."
"That's right."
Song You saw that he was cramped, so he nodded, and didn't dwell too much on this issue, which would only make him even more cramped: "I don't know what the relationship between the foot and the rumored Yan Xian is." β
"That's my ancestor......"
The boy stood far away, like a bird that feared people.
The voice is similar to that of a human teenager in the voice-changing period.
It's just that after answering, he took a deep breath and dared to ask, "Dare to ask Mr...... But what is the gentleman in Lingbo County except for the water demon? β
"How do you know?"
"I'm here to find Mr."
"Huh?"
"The ancestor heard that the water demon in Lingbo County was removed by the master who passed all the way, and I heard that the master led a horse and brought a three-flowered cat......" The young man said and glanced at the three-flowered cat next to Song You, although he is now much older than the three-flowered cat, but he is still inexplicably timid, "After getting rid of the demon, he walked to Anqing County." The ancestors speculated that Mr. would come to Anqing, so I asked me to look for it in the city, but I didn't find Mr. Taoist with a horse and a cat in the past few days, but Mr. yesterday I didn't intend to come to the pavilion on this mountain, I came to take a look, and then I found Mr. β
"This Pavilion ......"
"This was originally used by the ancestors to come to see the conference when the Liujiang Conference was just opened. Later, the ancestor's health became weaker and weaker, and few people came. The young man said, "There are some mysteries here, unless there is a profound Taoist who can't see this road and this pavilion." β
"I see......"
Song You said and looked at the young man again, puzzled: "It's just that since you found me yesterday and was here yesterday, why didn't you come to me?" β
"I ......"
The young man's face turned red with shame: "I'm afraid of ......"
"Afraid of what?"
Song You smiled instead: "I don't eat people." β
"Nothing to do with Mr.!"
The young man was afraid that he would misunderstand, so he hurriedly explained: "It's my nature that I have been cowardly since I was a child, and I don't dare to talk to people, although my ancestors ordered it, but I ...... it."
Halfway through that, he didn't say anything.
Song You was about to laugh a few more times, so as to behave more easily and gently, dilute his nervousness, and then reply, it can be seen that his face was full of panic and timidity, his body was shaking, and he was very ashamed in fear, so he couldn't help but put away his smile and said seriously:
I don't dare to agree with this. Even if you really don't like to communicate with people, you just have your own unique personality preferences, just that, why not use it? β
"Huh?"
The young man couldn't help but glance at him secretly, but he saw that this gentleman was gentle and a little serious.
"Don't you think I'm weird, sir?"
"Where the words. There are many kinds of people in this world, each with its own personality, and each with its own life, and I think the same is true of demons. Song You said, "But you must not be presumptuous." β
ββ¦β¦β
The little monster was suddenly stunned.
In fact, it's not entirely self-indulgent, but the ancestors have said so since childhood. Don't dare to talk to people, dare not communicate with people, this is timidity, that is, useless. Everyone thinks so.
Rather, this gentleman's statement......
It's weird, I've never heard of it.
"Foot ......"
"Huh? Ah, rude! β
"It doesn't matter."
After Song You finished speaking, he looked at him.
Unexpectedly, the young man also stood in place, but he looked awkward with his eyes and hands, and even his feet felt wrong.
The pavilion was quiet for a while.
Song You waited for a while before he said helplessly:
"On the orders of Yan Xian, I came to look for me, do you have nothing to say to me?"
"Oooh!"
The young man seemed to remember this, and hurriedly bowed to Song You and said, "The ancestor wants to invite Mr. to go to the house for a talk." β
"When?"
"...... Now"
The young man quietly looked at Song You:
"Is that okay?"
"I also want to see Yan Xian's demeanor soon." Song You showed a regretful expression and pointed ahead, "It's a pity that it's the Liujiang Conference now." β
"That'...... What about tomorrow? β
"It's not that I'm disrespectful to Yan Xian, but I also know that tomorrow is the most exciting time for the Liujiang Conference." Song You said apologetically, "I happened to make an appointment with an acquaintance in advance, and tomorrow we will watch the hero competition at the conference together." β
"It's okay, it's okay......"
"I wonder how tonight will be?"
"Yes, yes!"
"Okay."
"That ......"
"It's a deal."
"I'll look for Mr. before dusk......"
"I'll be waiting for you here."
"That ......"
"That's rightβ"
"What else is the matter, sir?"
"There's something I'd like to ask you about."
The young man saw the gentleman smiling, and then looked up at the sky behind him, and his eyes seemed to have light: "The scenery in the sky is better than on the ground?" β
"This ......"
The young man was stunned for a moment: "I don't know ......"
"Forget it."
"I ......"
"It doesn't matter."
Song You's expression was gentle: "I'm just asking casually." β
"That ......"
"Walk slowly."
"Canopy ......"
The gray smoke exploded, and a black and white shadow rushed into the sky, as if it was afraid that it would not be able to run, and it flew away at once, disappearing into the clouds.
Song You shook his head, not surprised.
is also a human being, and there are still thousands of strange things, not to mention that there are so many demons, it should be normal to have any kind of personality.
So I continued to sit down and watch the Liujiang Conference.
Today's weather is fine, and the mood of the people participating in the meeting seems to be much better, and they are more active in the competition. It's just that everyone gathered on the Yanxian platform below, disturbing and shouting constantly, only Song You was in the pavilion on the mountainside, watching the grand events of the rivers and lakes for a long time, and also enjoying the clouds and clouds for a long time.
β¦β¦
There's a saying that goes like this:
Only where there is a road is under the control of the imperial court.
That's not much of a story.
This is indeed the case this year. Dayan is 18,000 miles from east to west, and there are tens of thousands of miles from north to south, which seems to have a vast territory, but in fact, only a small part belongs to the imperial court.
The farther it goes, the lower it gets.
Out of Anqing County, there are large and small official roads, leaving the official roads, there are many staggered paths, leading to large and small villages, each with its own fields. But in addition to these, Anqing also has 100,000 peak forests.
It's a place that is hard to get to.
It is also hard to imagine that there is a quaint deep house compound in this mountain.
"Plop Plop ......"
There was a sound of flapping wings.
A swallow flew in, turned into a young man dressed in black and white, and fell into the hall.
And in front of him was an old man sitting in a chair.
"Ancestor ......"
The boy hurriedly saluted, his head only looking at his toes.
"Ahem...... Excuse me! β
ββ¦β¦β
"Why did you come back so late today?"
"...... Today"
"Speak louder! Head up too! This is coughing up in front of my own family......"
The old man coughed and scolded: "It's not that you have done anything unseemly, you should be frank and upright, you always look like this, who can afford you when you go out?" β
ββ¦β¦β
The boy did not dare to speak.
The old ancestor was naturally right, it was all the truth of teaching people, and it was all for his good, and he didn't dare to refute it.
But inexplicably, I thought of that gentleman.
At this time, the old man's voice sounded again, startling him: "After so many days, have you found that gentleman?" β
The young man hurriedly replied:
"Found ......"
"How?"
"The gentleman...... The road is very high, and he can see the path and pavilion hidden by his ancestors on Horseshoe Mountain at a glance! The boy reported honestly, "I have agreed with my husband to bring him over in the evening." β
"Did you ask him if it was from Fulongguan?"
"I ...... I forgot ......"
The young man's face turned pale.
"What are you doing?"
The old man angrily slammed his cane on the ground, made a trembling sound, and said, "If you forget, you forget, what is the big deal?" What can I do with it? What are you afraid of? Now that the juniors in the clan have cultivated your human form first, what can you accomplish with your timid appearance? β
The boy did not dare to answer.
Maybe it's not fear, it's shame, I feel useless, and I can't even do this little thing well. Maybe I'm afraid, but it's definitely not afraid of being scolded by my ancestors.
"Go ahead."
The old man waved his hand, weak.
I just feel that the current descendants are really not as good as the next generation.
The boy also turned around and walked out with his head down.
However, after taking two steps, his face showed a look of thought and hesitation, and after taking a few more steps, he turned back and said in a trembling voice: "Ancestor, I think, I want to go and get a Yan'er Dan......"
As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately stated the reason:
"Because, because if you go to ask your husband again in the evening, it is not good to ask him to walk."
Quietly looked at the ancestors, for fear of rejection.
And that's not as simple as being rejected.
But the old man just waved his hand and didn't look at it:
"It's rare for you to have a ...... opinion"
"That?"
"Go!!"
The old man was furious.
Then there was another cough.
ββ¦β¦β
The young man was agitated and hurriedly ran out.
