Chapter 10, Old Affection
Shen Xunyi then went to the residence of the Changsam Daoist.
The children I met along the way were supposed to go to the class, but they were all going back.
Shen Xunyi stopped and asked a child.
"The gentleman said that he would rest today and would not give lectures. After saying that, he happily ran away.
"Rest today?", Shen Xunyi thought about it and felt a little strange, how could she rest behind closed doors.
Linked to last night's strange roar, she decided to check it out.
When he arrived outside the courtyard where classes were held on weekdays, the wooden door was closed tightly, and Shen Xunyi knocked on the door and shouted, "Sir, sir, are you at home?"
No sound.
Shen Xunyi listened close to the door close to his ear, but there was no footsteps coming.
She continued to knock and shout for a few more rounds, knocking and shouting.
After a while, there was movement inside, and she heard someone's footsteps approaching the door, "What are you doing?"
The Taoist of Changsan soon came over and opened the door, and at a glance he saw the little girl in front of him, he opened the door angrily, but he ignored Shen Xunyi, turned his head and went back.
Shen Xunyi: ...... Why do you feel that today's Taoists are so irritable?
She followed the man in the caftan and gently closed the gate of the courtyard. This is the first time that Shen Xunyi has entered the small room where the Changsam Taoist lived, and the Changyi Taoist was sitting at the table drinking water, and when he saw her come in, he seemed to snort.
Shen Xunyi didn't know where she had provoked this gentleman, who had always been gentle, she touched her nose and approached, and found that the Changsan Taoist had some unusually red eyes.
"Sir, you... What's the matter with these eyes?", the whole thing looks like I'm getting pink eye.
The Taoist put down the water glass, indignant in his heart, thinking that he had been famous for many years, and he was ruined lightly last night, this immortal cultivation world is really not ancient people's hearts, people's hearts are not ancient.
"Didn't sleep well last night. He said lightly.
Shen Xunyi: ...... She almost believed it.
But she didn't expose it, and walked over and said, "Sir, how different do you look at me today?"
The Taoist looked at it with a pair of rabbit-like eyes, and looked at it from head to toe, "The skinny little girl still hasn't grown taller." ”
Shen Xunyi—:)
"Sir, it's a coincidence that the student didn't sleep well last night. She rubbed her eyes in annoyance.
The face of the man in the long shirt changed slightly, "Oh?
Shen Xunyi couldn't tell if the Changsam Daoist knew it after looking at it for a long time, but thinking that he had actually asked him Beilin a few days ago, he let go of the conversation and said, "Sir, I can't hide it, I heard some strange sounds in the middle of my dream last night, and I screamed for most of the night, and the student was timid, and it was really difficult to sleep after tossing and turning." ”
As he spoke, he looked scared as if he remembered something.
The Taoist of Changsam obviously changed his face now, he looked at Shen Xunyi, the little girl blinked her eyes, her eyes were very clear and pure.
He didn't know where this child came from, and he didn't find any obvious talent from her, but as an ordinary child, he had some cultivation at a young age, but he didn't go further this year.
But I've always been sensible and a little smart, and this time seems to be a little too sensitive?
He beckoned and motioned for Shen Xunyi to come over.
Shen Xunyi looked at this Taoist leader and thought uncertainly for a long time, seeing that she was a little stunned, and still wondering if she was... Is it because she shows some unusual intelligence?
The Taoist of Changsam stretched out a finger and tapped the center of Shen Xunyi's eyebrows, and a burst of cool air came like a wind beam on Shen Xunyi's eyebrows, her eyes blinked, and she looked at the Taoist of Changyi in puzzlement.
There are no anomalies. The Taoist put down his hand, sighed and asked, "Why don't you sleep at night?"
Shen Xunyi felt the extremely comfortable and cool breath just now, and felt that the Taoist of Changsam should be testing her, but she was not afraid, and hurriedly said, "Mr. Hui, the student is cultivating." ”
"Cultivating these days?"
"Well, yes, but last night...", last night was a little extra excited because I made money during the day, so I slept too late than before. "I practiced late last night. ”
The Changsam Daoist was silent for a moment when he heard this, he had been cultivating these days, but the aura in his body had basically not changed. He thought for a moment, then turned to business, "Did you really only hear strange noises last night?"
If the Changsam Taoist is not willing to tell her about last night, he will usually ask, "Did you really hear a voice last night?"
Shen Xunyi felt that this person was a real person, and he was also a bold person, it was okay, she did walk barefoot, and she was not afraid that he would really find out anything.
So he smiled and said, "No, no, no, the student was a little curious, so he climbed over the wall and looked, and he saw the light blue light of the northern sky." ”
However, the student was timid and sleepy, so he went back to sleep. ”
"Dare to go out when you hear strange noises, it's not a small courage, as for going back to the house to sleep, it's because I've already thought about asking me today. The man in the long shirt looked at her and said.
Shen Xunyi grinned and flattered.
In the eyes of the Changsam Daoist, Shen Xunyi was a half-sized girl who knew a little bit of cultivation, but now looking at those clear eyes that seemed to know a lot, somehow, he actually wanted to say something.
Anyway, he has been in this town for a short time, and it is the time when the rare plants and trees are blooming and bearing fruit recently, even if he guesses, he can guess that the disciples of the Changge Sect want to steal some herbs to boost their cultivation and accumulate strength for the future Xianmen Dabi.
But the obstacle of iniquity and ignorance is beyond the touch of all things. Although people cultivate immortals, the nature of greed has not changed at all, and the inner disciples are like this, and Changgemen is not to blame for it now.
"Sit. "Although I can't see what is wrong with this girl, she can break the night ban, and she has the audacity to go out to watch. I thought that this girl also traveled at night last time, but she was just sick, maybe it was an accident.
Shen Xunyi saw all kinds of changes in the expression of the Taoist in the long shirt, and she didn't know that the other party actually regarded her as a person with a very good destiny, if she knew, she was afraid that she would quickly wave her hand, no, no, no, you really thought wrong, she is not a person of chance, just a cannon fodder with a broken script in danger. She sat down obediently.
......
Until the glow fell, Shen Xunyi walked out of the gate of the Changsam Daoist, and there was still some unreal feeling, she turned her head to look at the courtyard door that had been closed, pinched her wrist, and felt very... Real pain.
"I heard something terrible, and I begged for a pair of ears that had not heard a story. Shen Xunyi now said that she was a little scared, and realized that she still wanted to be a simple child.
She already knew that Binshui Town was indeed weird, a town that was extremely quiet at night, and there was no water source within a radius of dozens of miles, but people were still waiting here, and the people in Linzi Town in the north seemed to know it tacitly, and they would not approach it as if they had been banned.
It turned out that there was really something terrible inside, a demon beast born by sucking water, but the immortal family refused to spend immortal strength to eliminate the demon beast.
It can't be destroyed, not only because of the high level of the water gathering beast and its strong demon power, but also because there are demon beasts and human spirits in it. And this human spirit turned out to be the one who had devoured some townspeople who had strayed or trespassed in the past.
Half of the demon is wise, and there are human souls. That's when things get tricky.
The people of Panshui Town have been rooted here for generations, and the relatives who are connected to them by blood have become part of the demon beast, but that consciousness has not completely disappeared. I can't tell whether the water beast is a demon beast or a human.
Some of the old people in the town also knew that their lost relatives had entered the woods, and they did not dare to enter to look for them, probably knowing that they would never return.
But it's always better to wait for the unknown than to see the results straightforwardly, and this feeling is probably like "no news is the best news", even if it is slim, it is better than stifling.
The Jiang family, a family of immortal cultivators under its jurisdiction, naturally wanted to solve this problem, and they didn't have to take into account the Heavenly Dao and the human race to directly kill the demon beasts, but the matter was put on hold for some reason, and how many years passed in a hurry, and the demon beasts became more powerful and the human spirit still existed. It's even more cumbersome to deal with.
