Chapter 461: Neither friend nor foe

Ma Fangyu hesitated for a long time, and finally asked the doubts in his heart, "Senior Dugu, I don't think you are the kind of person who will be coerced, nor like the kind of person who is willing to be left behind, I want to know, what kind of ability does the Holy Maiden have to make you wait to follow her so willingly?"

After a while, Dugu Weng replied: "It doesn't hurt to tell you, this happened two years ago, when I lived in seclusion in the mountains and forests, I thought it would be like this but I was dead, and I never thought that the saint took the initiative to find me." ”

Ma Fangyu was shocked: "You are in seclusion, she can take the initiative to find you, it seems that it took some effort." ”

Dugu Weng nodded, "That's true, but I was fishing leisurely by the river at the time, and I just glanced at her and saw that she was alone, and she was a small girl, so I didn't pay attention to it." Unexpectedly, she was not far away, and suddenly plunged into the river. Although I didn't know her, I wasn't a person who couldn't be saved when I saw death, so I rescued her at once. However, I rescued her people, but I couldn't save her heart, and she still cried and cried, wanting to continue to seek death. ”

"So, you're going to ask her why?" Ma Fangyu guessed.

Dugu Weng replied: "Yes, this is how I asked her, and she told me without hesitation that she had a very low status in the family, was often persecuted by her family, and almost died several times, and wanted to take her own life in desperation." Listen, I scolded her for being a coward, she would only obey the wishes of those bad people, and escaping was not the solution, if I were him, I would definitely use tough means to let those bad people know that I was not easy to provoke. ”

Speaking of this, Dugu Weng paused for a moment and continued: "I didn't expect her to applaud suddenly after listening to my words, and she didn't even have the sadness on her face. She asked me, 'If seeking death is an escape, then what is the difference between escaping and dying?'"

"I was amazed by what she said, for the word 'retreat' seemed to mean something, and it seemed that she knew my situation very well, and that the purpose of her coming here was impure. These words also reminded me that because I don't like the turbidity of the world, I dare not face what happened in the past, and I choose to hide in the world, which is actually an escape, which is a kind of coward's performance. However, as an old man, I naturally would not admit it easily in front of a little girl, so I did not answer her question. ”

When she saw my hesitant expression, she confessed her identity and intentions. It turned out that she was here to invite me out of the mountains and create a new world together. After listening to it, I was even more surprised that a little girl has such great ambition and courage, either she is boastful or has real skills. I became interested in her, and we talked for a long time. As he spoke, a look of appreciation gradually appeared on Dugu Weng's face, and it seemed that he sincerely admired Li Zhiran.

Seeing this, Ma Fangyu finally understood Li Zhiran's routine. She first made up a random story to lure the other party to say something she wanted to hear, and then pushed herself to make the other party fully aware of her own problems.

This method of persuasion is far better than bitter persuasion, and I have to say that Li Zhiran really has a lot of means.

"One day was not long, but it was enough for me to get to know her, and after listening to her words, I was deeply impressed by it, and I had a firm idea in my heart that I would not run away from it, and I would spend the rest of my life doing something meaningful, that is, to help her fulfill her ambition. In the end, Dugu Weng's eyes flashed with determination.

Hearing this, Ma Fangyu was very shocked. This Dugu Weng lived for more than a hundred years, and Li Zhiran was seventeen or eighteen years old at that time, but after talking for a day, Dugu Weng was willing to use it for her.

From this aspect, it can be seen that this Li Zhiran does have the ability to attract people, but I don't know that her purpose is not simple.

Ma Fangyu couldn't help but remind: "Don't forget, she is the Holy Maiden of the Demon Sect, aren't you worried that she is using you to help the Demon Sect dominate the world?"

Dugu Weng immediately retorted: "It can be seen from your words that you still haven't gotten rid of the inherent concept between good and evil, so you blindly stare at her identity as a demon saint." In fact, as long as it is good for the world, what difference does it make between right and evil. Even if in the end, the Demon Cult rules the world, as long as it is the world I want, I will still firmly support it. ”

After hearing these words, Ma Fangyu no longer knew how to refute, he knew that the other party couldn't convince him, and he couldn't convince him either, so it was better to remain silent than to continue to say and waste saliva.

So, Ma Fangyu nodded slightly and did not continue to speak.

And just like that, both fell silent. After a few minutes like this, Dugu Weng took the lead in breaking the silence, "Little brother, I have a lot of words today, it's really because I think you are very good, I hope you will gradually let go of your prejudices against the saint and us, and feel the world and the people around you with your heart, maybe you will have new discoveries." ”

Ma Fangyu arched his hand and said: "Dugu's seniors are right, and the juniors have been taught!"

Dugu Weng said "um", and went home with Ma Fangyu.

On the way back, Dugu Weng took the trouble and said a lot of things, nothing more than hoping that Ma Fangyu could join their camp.

Ma Fangyu's belief naturally would not be easily shaken, so he politely rejected the other party again and again. In the end, Dugu Weng had to give up temporarily and part ways with Ma Fangyu.

Ma Fangyu returned to the resettlement site, thinking that no one should disturb him now, so he sat cross-legged on the bed and quickly entered a meditative state.

It wasn't until the end of the next day that a familiar voice came from outside, pulling Ma Fangyu back to reality, and it was Li Zhiran.

In desperation, Ma Fangyu stood up and was about to go out to see her, but she never thought that she would directly open the door curtain and walk in without hesitation.

Ma Fangyu was startled at first, and then subconsciously covered his important parts, fortunately, he didn't take off his clothes and pants when he settled down last night, otherwise, he would not be able to avoid embarrassment today.

"You...... Didn't you ask anyone else before you came in?" Ma Fangyu couldn't help but complain.

Li Zhiran walked up to Ma Fangyu with a blushing face, greeted him with a pair of big eyes without hesitation, and said softly: "What is there to ask, this tent is mine, everything in the tent is mine, I am active in my own territory, what do I have to worry about." ”

These words couldn't help but make Ma Fangyu's heart tremble, what does it mean that everything in the tent is hers?

Ma Fangyu said with some dissatisfaction: "I want to correct your sentence, not everything in the tent is yours, at least not me." ”

After hearing this, Li Zhiran pursed her mouth, revealing a look of grievance, and said, "Yes! Yes! Yes!

Seeing Li Zhiran's appearance, Ma Fangyu couldn't help but have a feeling of bullying her, but in fact, she burned incense and worshiped Buddha without bullying herself.

Later, Li Zhiran asked, "Brother Yu, are you ready?"

Ma Fangyu thought to herself, as soon as she got up, she saw her break in, how could she have time to prepare, but she was not like an ordinary girl, and she didn't need to prepare anything, so she nodded and said, "I'm ready, let's go now." ”

As he spoke, Ma Fangyu took a step, but suddenly heard Li Zhiran say: "Brother Yu, don't worry!"

Ma Fangyu stopped and asked with some doubts, "Is there anything else?"

Li Zhiran smiled and said: "When we get to the downtown area, the more lively it will be, and the more people there will be, will you think about what to call me when the time comes?"

This is indeed a question, Ma Fangyu has never thought about it before, but now he is asked.

However, Li Zhiran seemed to have already thought about paying attention, and then said: "You can't still be in front of so many people, a witch on the left and a witch on the right, I don't mind, I'm afraid that someone will listen to you, they will only think that you have an affair with our Tianyi Sect, and you won't be able to wash it away when you jump into the Yellow River." ”

There was indeed some truth in her words, but Ma Fangyu always held a skeptical attitude and said with a smile: "It's really the sun coming out of the west, haven't you been provoking the relationship between me and Menzhong?

Li Zhiran replied: "I knew you didn't believe it, I knew I wouldn't have reminded you just now, so I wouldn't have to make you suspicious!"

After speaking, Li Zhiran put on an innocent look, and in the eyes of outsiders, she was the one who was bullied.

Ma Fangyu was speechless, but anyone with a little IQ must have doubted what she said just now.

However, she turned against Ma Fangyu and his army as a weakling, blaming him for not knowing the hearts of good people.

Ma Fangyu smiled, anyway, he knew in his heart, just pay attention to her, in terms of tone, he didn't mind being soft.

So, Ma Fangyu pretended to admit his mistake and arched his hand: "I didn't know the hearts of good people just now, don't blame!"

Hearing this, Li Zhiran put away her bitter gourd face and smiled happily: "Yes, this is the attitude that Brother Yu should have." To avoid misunderstanding, how about you call me Zhiran?"

"Zhiran, Zhiran......" Ma Fangyu repeated it twice, always feeling that this title was a little affectionate, so he shook his head and said: "How dare I call the name of the saint, I think it's better to change it." ”

Unexpectedly, Li Zhiran nodded very happily and said, "Hmm...... You have some truth in saying that you should change it. ”

She pretended to ponder for a moment, then her eyes lit up, and said, "I think so, since I have been calling you Brother Yu, correspondingly, you should call me Sister Ran, what do you think?"

As soon as these words came out, Ma Fangyu swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and immediately shook his head and said: "No, no, you are a saint, if I call you like this, it will be too tormenting to me." ”

Li Zhiran frowned and sighed: "This doesn't work, that doesn't work, so what do you want to call me?"

Ma Fangyu fell into silence, and Ma Fangyu didn't know what to call the person in front of her.

At this time, Li Zhiran seemed to think of a name, and said happily: "I thought of it, you want me Lanlan!"

The word "Lanlan" brought Ma Fangyu to the time when she spent time with her in Shennong Valley in the past, that is, they were more like tacit friends, which made Ma Fangyu feel a strange feeling in her heart.

Ma Fangyu has reason to believe that she deliberately brought herself into her memories, and her purpose was to think of her goodness.

Ma Fangyu had no reason to refuse, and nodded: "Okay then, Lan Lan!"

Hearing this title, Li Zhiran smiled slightly, and seemed to be very satisfied.
