The scope of the old forest is not small, most of the people in Nanhuai Town are trapped in it because of the Resurrection Tree, and now that the crisis is lifted, there are wounded everywhere. If the injury is mild, they can still save themselves, and if the injury is serious, they can only wait for rescue.

As for the corpses that had lost their breath, there was no time to collect them due to the shortage of manpower, but it was convenient for Shen Qi to act.

Shen abandoned his body and volleyed through the forest, looking for a suitable candidate.

The Xuanling disciple is the best, but he hasn't seen any of them after looking for a long time. Shen Qi can only retreat this time, and first find the identity of an ordinary person will be used.

Not good for young children, not too old and ugly, and even worse for women.

After some picking, he barely found a suitable candidate.

It was a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy, who had not been dead for a long time, and the three souls and seven spirits had not yet completely dispersed. Shen Qi looked at his appearance, although his face was yellow and his muscles were thinner, he could also be called delicate.

It can be used barely.

Shen Qi opened his five fingers and grabbed it in the air, and grabbed the soul that had not yet dispersed.

The young man's soul was so weak that it took him little effort to read all of his life, and then let go and let it dissipate.

Walking up to the young man's body, Shen Qizai carefully examined it. After that, the breath around him fluctuated slightly, and his slender figure changed, and his body gradually became shorter and thinner, and finally he was no different from a teenager. By the time he took off the golden mask, his face was already the delicate face of a young man.

All that's left is the last step.

Shen Qi looked at the clothes on the corpse with great disgust, and didn't make a move. It wasn't until he remembered the plan that he forced himself to suppress his nausea and put on the dirty and shabby cloth clothes.

After casting a spell to burn the young man's body, Shen Qi summoned out the water mirror, looked at the unfamiliar faces reflected in the mirror, and pulled out a wicked smile.

It's been a long time since he's been so excited to do something.

"That silly rabbit doesn't seem to have a low status, and it's not too late to kill him when I'm having fun. How about turning him into a rabbit and keeping you company? ”

Shen Qi raised his finger and flicked the tassel that hung down to his shoulder, the gold cage earrings had not yet been removed, and the gorgeous ornaments did not match this delicate and pure face, but it was probably because his momentum was too arrogant, and there was no disobedience.

Every once in a while, the Red Falcon brothers were already surprised, and only exchanged glances in the air, and sympathized a little with the next unlucky guy.

Although the madman was asking them, he didn't need anyone else to answer at all.

Shen Qi really didn't mean to listen to their answers, he adjusted his expression to the water mirror, revealing a look of horror or cowardice. This face is green and harmless, and it is very appropriate to make such a weak expression.

The more deceptive things are, the more shocking they will be when the truth is revealed.

The blood all over his body boiled because of this, Shen Qi squinted his eyes happily, took off the earrings and shook them roughly: "Where should I put you?" ”

The "......" fire suddenly burned on himself, and the Red Falcon brothers scolded their mother in their hearts, worried that he would toss himself again.

Fortunately, Shen Qi's attention has been completely diverted, and he has lost interest in tossing them for the time being. He wrapped the tassel around his wrist, and the ornate gold earring became an ordinary wooden bracelet, on which were carved only two birds of unknown species.

Everything was ready, and after Shen Qi confirmed Mu Congyun's location, he went to wait for the rabbit with great interest.

*

By the afternoon, the wounded in the old woods had almost all been sent back to the town.

The people sent by the nearby sect and the government government also arrived one after another after learning the news, and Mu Congyun asked Jin Yi to be responsible for contacting these people, while he and a team of people continued to stay in the old forest. While collecting the corpses, we double-checked whether there were any survivors who had been missed.

In order to prevent any omissions, Mu Congyun Yujian tirelessly searched for Lao Linzi over and over again.

Just as he was searching for the third time, he suddenly heard Sisuo's movement below. He didn't let go of the slightest possibility, and immediately put away his sword and went down to check.

As soon as he stepped on the ground, he collided with the boy who had emerged from the thick dead leaves.

Both of them froze.

Mu Congyun reacted instinctively, but the young man was out of fear, his black eyes were wide, and there was obvious fear in them, and even half of his body shrank back. Mu Congyun looked at him, the young man was only fifteen or sixteen years old, skinny, and his old gray-blue cloth clothes were worn on his body, dangling empty.

The two looked at each other, but neither spoke.

After a while, Mu Congyun, who still reacted, opened his mouth first: "Are you from Nanhuai Town?" ”

"......" The young man looked at him vigilantly with wide eyes and did not answer.

Mu Congyun was stumped for a while, and his eyes were big and small, and the atmosphere gradually became awkward.

“……”

After a few breaths of silence, Mu Congyun suppressed the boiling embarrassment, and explained with careful words: "The danger in Nanhuai Town has been lifted, you can go home." ”

The boy still stared at him with dark eyes, not speaking or moving.

Mu Congyun began to feel a faint suffocation.

He took a deep breath and overcame the instinct to retreat and stretched out his hand to the other party: "If you are afraid, I can send you back." ”

The boy blinked, his gaze falling on his hand as if hesitating.

After a long time, he reached out and held it.

The palms were clasped, and the feeling of body temperature blending with each other made the two of them frown at the same time.

Mu Congyun is because he is not used to it, and Shen is abandoned because he is unfamiliar.

He had never been so close to people. Looking at the hands of the two of them holding together, his eyes became a little strange.

It turns out that being held by the hand is this feeling.

He thought that the moment he held the other party's hand, he couldn't help but directly expose his identity and kill the other party. But when I really hold it, I don't have that feeling of rejection and nausea that is unbearable.

Mu Congyun didn't notice the implication in his gaze, and took his hand and pulled him.

The dead branches and leaves fell one after another, and the young man came out of the pile of dead leaves, his body was almost the same as Mu Congyun, but the whole person showed a kind of nutrition. The good ones are thin, and the bones that are exposed are craggy.

When Mu Congyun saw him, he remembered himself who had just worn into this world.

The original body of his body was a little beggar without a father and mother, who starved to death in a ruined temple because he could not get food. When Mu Congyun just walked over, he couldn't accept the tragic fate for a while, and he couldn't overcome his fear to go outside to ask for food, so he gave up on himself thinking that it would be better to die if he went out to beg, so he simply waited for death in the broken temple.

At that time, his appearance was probably even more embarrassed than the young man in front of him.

If it weren't for the fact that Shizun picked him up through the broken temple later, he would probably have been reincarnated.

Looking at the young man who was in the same situation as himself, he felt a little soft-hearted, and said "I'll send you back to town", and Edgeworth took him away.

Shen Qi was held by his hand and stood behind him.

His eyes roamed behind him unscrupulously, and the corners of his mouth were taunted.

This stupid rabbit didn't even pretend to be.

Soft-hearted, it's easy to deceive.

Such a person, if he had been outside, would have died a hundred and eighty times.

Now that it has hit him, I don't know if it's lucky or unlucky.

*

Mu Congyun sent the people back to Nanhuai Town.

If you are an ordinary person, after saying thank you, it is time to go to find your family. But the young man just stood silently beside Mu Congyun, looking at him with a pair of black and white eyes, and there was no other emotion in it except for the residual vigilance.

Doesn't seem to be a talkative person than he is.

Mu Congyun sighed, and could only take him to find the mayor.

The mayor was also injured, but not seriously, and was going door-to-door with people to register and count the number of people. Seeing Mu Congyun coming from a distance, he hurriedly stepped forward and called him "Immortal Master".

His enthusiasm made Mu Congyun a little confused, but when he remembered what was going on, he still pointed to the young man on the side: "I found it in the old forest, but I don't know where his house is, and I won't say anything when I ask him, so I handed him over to the mayor for placement." ”

The mayor looked at the man and said in surprise: "This little fool has a big fate. Then he shook his head and sighed: "The immortal master doesn't know, he is a little flower who grew up eating hundreds of meals in the town, and usually lives under the bridge cave in the east of the town. ”

He pointed to his head: "His head is not very bright, the big guy usually calls him a little fool, whoever has leftover food, give him a bite." ”

When he heard the mayor call the young man a "little fool", Mu Congyun subconsciously frowned.

Although the boy was silent, he could understand his words and communicate, obviously not really stupid.

He glanced at the young man, but the other party just lowered his eyes, and still did not speak.

"Is there a place for him?" Mu Congyun asked.

The mayor of the town showed some hesitation: "Now every family in the town has suffered, I'm afraid it's ......."

I'm afraid no one wants to take in a fool.

Mu Congyun understood the meaning of his words, and thought for a moment and said, "Then I will settle it." ”

He led the boy away again.

Mu Congyun took the boy to Uncle Zhao's house.

Uncle Zhao stayed in the old forest with the tree spirit, and his house was empty. Jin Yi simply requisitioned it and gave the wounded disciple a rest and healing.

The house was not large, and the lightly injured disciples gave up their rooms to the more seriously injured brothers, and they found a place in the courtyard to meditate and heal their wounds in the open space or even on the tree.

Before Mu Congyun came in, the disciples were still talking and chatting in twos and threes, and the atmosphere was very warm. But as soon as he crossed the threshold, it was as if he had pressed the mute button, and everyone instantly fell silent. The meditator straightened his back and recited the mantra of the heart in his mouth; ripped off the placket and put the medicine on it, hurriedly tidied up his appearance, and sat in a precarious position; And the hanger who sat on the branch of the tree and shook his legs, covered his ears and stole the bell behind the branches and leaves, and only wanted to go back into the tree again......

Mu Congyun, who felt the obvious change in the atmosphere, sighed silently.

He led the young man to Xu Yao and explained: "Find him a place to live, he will be with us temporarily, and then find a place for him to settle down when he leaves." ”

Xu Yao stood straight, and the chick pecked the rice and nodded.

Mu Congyun saw that everyone was like a great enemy, and after bowing his head slightly, he left with Edgeworth - the room he lived in before was also released, and he cultivated to a high level, and it was okay to meditate instead of sleep.

Shen Qi saw all this in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth curled imperceptibly.

Although this new identity is not on the table, it is surprisingly easy to use.

Interesting.

When the senior brother left, Xu Yao relaxed and greeted Shen Qi: "There is really no empty room for you to squeeze, these days. You can squeeze under the porch with me. ”

As he spoke, he came to put his hand on Shen Qi's shoulder, but his hand was stretched out and fell short.

He looked at him in surprise, and saw Shen Qi looking at him with his eyebrows twisted, and there seemed to be disgust in his eyes.

Xu Yao: ???

He suspected that he had seen it wrong, and when he wanted to take a closer look, he saw that the other party turned around and walked out without saying a word.

"Eh, where are you going?" He didn't dare to ignore the senior brother's entrustment, and hurriedly chased after him to grab Shen Qi's arm.

But the outstretched hand fell into the air again.

He inexplicably looked at his hands that had been repeatedly scratched up, and could only chase after Shen Qi and chatter: "The resting place is over there, although it is a little worse, but at least it is a place to stay." If you don't like the basics, I'll arrange a better ...... for you before we leave."

It's really noisy.

Shen Qi clenched his fingers, and killing intent crossed his eyes.

However, when he saw the white figure on the roof in front of him, he restrained himself well.

Only for a moment he had roughly figured out the other party's temperament, and without saying a word, he walked under the roof and sat down.

Xu Yao looked at the senior brother meditating on the roof, and then looked at Shen Qi under the eaves, and thought in his heart, two saw-mouthed gourds together, it is really a big head.

Mu Congyun, who was shocked, saw the stubborn figure sitting under the eaves, and easily understood his thoughts.

"If he wants to be there, be there, leave him alone."

Xu Yao answered, didn't pull with him anymore, and turned back.

Mu Congyun closed his eyes and continued to meditate.

But after only a moment, he couldn't help but open his eyes and look at the young man below. The boy sat there quietly, his eyes fixed on the ground, as if thinking about something.

But judging from Yun's experience, he should be in a daze.

The boy gave him a sense of intimacy about finding his kind.

But that's about it. He doesn't take the initiative to approach people's personalities, look at them for a while, and then go back to meditation.

Shen Qi's expression was a little hideous.

He had always been a well-mannered man, and it was beyond his reach to sit on the floor. But I've endured it before, and it's really fun to lose a lot of fun for these little things.

He sat with his back to Mu Congyun, shrugging his eyelids, his fingers fiddling with the wooden bracelet on his wrist, watching the two birds on the surface of the wooden bracelet constantly flutter their wings, which was more comfortable.

*

The follow-up matters of Nanhuai Town were gradually transferred to the local government and sect, and the post-disaster resettlement of the people in the town was on the right track.

Before leaving, Mu Congyun pondered how to arrange the little tail behind him.

For five days, the boy followed him like a little tail. The boy never spoke, nor did he approach him, but followed him not far away.

Mu Congyun meditated on the roof, and he sat under the eaves; Mu Congyun went out to run errands, and he stayed behind.

He was very vigilant, and he would not accept anything given by others in Xuanling except for the food given to him by Mu Congyun.

The stubborn made Mu Congyun feel a headache.

After thinking for a long time, Mu Congyun went to the old forest to find Uncle Zhao.

The boy had no family, and the other people in the town were obviously unwilling to take him in, so he thought about it, and the best arrangement he could make was to find him a stable place to stay, and leave a sum of silver to support his life.

Uncle Zhao has decided to stay in the old forest to live.

Mu Congyun set up a formation near the stump, and ordinary people would not easily enter it again. Uncle Zhao chose a flat place, picked up dead branches and built a simple grass shed, except for going out to find food, he spent the rest of the time guarding the tree spirit.

Hearing that Mu Congyun wanted the young man to borrow it in the house, he recalled it for a while before he remembered: "I remember him, the little fool under the bridge cave, strange and pitiful." I won't go back to that house, so if he wants to live, let him live, and the title deed is hidden under the sixth green brick at the head of the bed. ”

With Uncle Zhao's permission, Mu Congyun went to find the mayor again.

He gave the mayor ten taels of silver, and told him to collect them for the boy. If the boy is in trouble again in the future, it will also prevent him from begging again.

and ten taels he personally found the boy and handed it over to the other party.

"You keep these silver taels, although it is not much, but it is enough for you to survive in a short time. You can live in Uncle Zhao's house with peace of mind, and when the town is restored to peace, you can also go to the town to find some odd jobs to do, so that you won't go hungry. ”

He searched his stomach and passed on his barren survival skills to the other party, looking at the silent young man, it was rare to have a little worry: "I will leave early tomorrow morning, you ......" He paused, and said solemnly: "You live well, it will always get better." ”

It was something he had never said to himself before, but now he said it to a teenager who resembled him.

He felt as if some shackles had broken in his heart, and his whole body became lighter.

Shen Qi looked at the broken silver in his hand, and then stared at Mu Congyun.

The clear and cold face had no expression, like a snow-capped mountain covered with a layer of mist, and before it got close, it made people feel cold and prohibitive.

But such a lonely person has carefully arranged his future life for a strange boy who met in Pingshui.

The hypocrites in the cultivation realm actually have such a good heart?

Then why was he so cruel to him alone?

Where were these good people when the Heart Protector Lin he had worked so hard to find was ripped out to repair the Ten Directions Great Array?

Where are these good people when he was completely lost in his cultivation, bullied by arrogance, stripped of scales and broken horns, cramped and cut off the marrow and laid down a cliff of no return?

Is he unworthy?

A handful of anger burned in Shen Qi's heart, and he angered the person in front of him. There was a rich dark flow in the dark eyes, and the five fingers hanging down at his side became claws, and they only wanted to pounce on them and tear people apart in the next moment.

But it doesn't work yet, it's too cheap for them.

The desire to destroy. Wang rolled and shouted, and Shen Qi's fingertips restrained and endured until they spasmed slightly.

He glanced mockingly at the broken silver in his palm, turned and strode away.

If he didn't leave, he was afraid that he would not be able to control the killing.

Seeing that the young man accepted the money and turned to leave, Mu Congyun breathed a sigh of relief. Finally solving the most troublesome thing, he jumped on the roof with ease, bathed in the moonlight and meditated pranayama.

When he arrived at no one, Shen Qi no longer had scruples, he looked at the broken silver in his palm for a long time, and then slowly retracted his fingers and pinched a few pieces of broken silver into powder.

Silvery powder slowly leaked from between the fingers, covering the dark earth with a dappled snow.

Shen Qi watched without blinking, but what he thought in his heart was that after he infiltrated the Xuanling Tomb to achieve his goal, the first thing he would do was to take the sacrifice knife of this great benevolent man today.

The filth of this world is disgusting, and the so-called kindness is just to see who it is against.

With a mocking snort, Shen Qi stepped over the mottled silver of the ground. Powder, the distant figure blends with the darkness.

*

The next day, please be early, and Murong Yun and his entourage set off back to Xuanling.

In order to prevent the people of the town from seeing them off, they quietly left before dawn. There are still wounded in the team, and they can't travel for a long time, but fortunately, Mu Congyun went down the mountain to collect two puppet carriages in the storage bag just in case, and the puppet carriages only need the driver's input of spiritual power to keep traveling, and the speed is several times faster than ordinary carriages.

Mu Congyun didn't want to squeeze in the car with people, so he offered to drive.

How dare the other disciples call the senior brother to be a coachman, but when they meet his cold gaze, they shrink their necks again, and in the end, no one dares to object.

Mu Congyun sat on the wheel with his sword in his arms, looking at the winding road, and had some expectations after a long absence.

He couldn't wait to get back to his safe haven.

The car road bones pressed over the ground, slowly out of Nanhuai Town, and drove towards Dongzhou City.

When you get out of Nanhuai Town, you will go on the official road, and the road will be smooth. Mu Congyun was about to speed up, but saw a person standing at the fork in the road in front of him.

The figure was thin and tall, and its clothes were swayed by the wind, like a reed swaying in the wind.

Mu Congyun hurriedly stopped the carriage, looked at the young man in the middle of the road, and couldn't stop being surprised: "Why are you here?" ”

Of course he wants to be here.

After working so hard to play such a big scene, how could he quit halfway?

He even calculated the time and the way he had to go.

Shen Qi pulled the corners of his mouth mockingly, and when he raised his face, his expression was panicked. The pair of black and white eyes looked directly at Mu Congyun, and his lips opened and closed silently a few times before he made a somewhat unfamiliar voice: "Where you go, I will go too." ”

The young man did not speak for a long time, and his voice was slightly hoarse. He didn't cry out and plead, but his low tone was like an abandoned animal.

Shen Qi is used to figuring out people's hearts, and for people like Mu Congyun who are simple and straightforward, it is even easier to grasp.

He bet that the other party couldn't refuse.
