Chapter Twenty-Six: The Land of Vanity
Xu Shi Ling Huayin stayed too long, and the people on the road began to cast puzzled glances at her, although I don't know if they also regarded Ling Huayin as the same kind.
Seeing that Situ Yan had already walked away from the woman, Su Mu couldn't help but turn around and say to Ling Huayin, who was standing still, "Won't you go with you?"
As soon as the words fell, I saw Ling Huayin quickly follow.
When they came to the woman's house, she led them to a room and said to them, "This is my daughter, whose name is Mencius." ”
The three of them followed the woman's gaze to the bed, and saw a doll made of straw lying on a dilapidated bed, and the woman was calling to the scarecrow on the bed: "Mencius, get up, you see I have brought you a few guests." ”
After a moment of surprise, the three of them looked at each other.
Seeing that her daughter didn't respond, the woman called twice, then turned to Ling Huayin and said, "I'm sorry, my daughter is usually lazy, and when she wakes up, I will ask her to apologize to a few people, it really makes you run in vain." By the way, the person this girl is looking for, I heard that there are two outsiders in the town recently, a man and a woman, the man is wearing blue clothes, and the woman is wearing yellow clothes, the girl is very smart, and she also sent a very beautiful plant to the owner of the inn in the north of the city, saying that it was planted in the sky. ”
Ling Huayin's heart moved, and she hurriedly said to Situ Yan: "It may be Ji Rumeng." ”
Situ Yan asked, "Then do you know where they went?"
"I don't know. ”
Situ Yan smiled helplessly, "That's okay, madam, I felt like I was old when I saw Miss Meng'er today, but we still have to find someone, and when the matter is done, we will come back to Miss Meng'er later." ”
The woman was overjoyed, and said again and again: "Okay, well, Meng'er knows that she will be very happy." With that, he politely sent them to the door.
After leaving, Ling Huayin couldn't help but taunt: "Heh, you are familiar with a scarecrow at first sight?"
Situ Yan couldn't help laughing, "Ha, isn't this to appease that lady's heart?"
Ling Huayin sneered: "Did you see that the beautiful girl is actually a scarecrow, and your wish has been disappointed?"
"It's a little, I originally wanted to take this opportunity to inquire about Bai Yi's whereabouts, but who knew that the girl had become a scarecrow. But it's not like we're all out of nowhere, at least we know now that Bai Yi is in the Land of Illusion, and maybe we can find the locust tree demon along the vine, which can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone. Situ Yan didn't check the dissatisfaction in Ling Huayin's tone at all, and was even a little complacent.
Ling Huayin knew that his seven feelings were different from ordinary people, and he shouldn't have bothered with him, so he could only sulk secretly, and didn't want to take care of him anymore, so he walked in front by himself.
Su Mu hurriedly struck while the iron was hot, trying to get close to Ling Hua Yintao.
"Isn't your friend a fool? Su Mu and Ling Huayin walked side by side, trying to find a topic.
Ling Huayin glanced at him lightly and said, "What do you know about children?"
"It's all said, I'm looking young now, and when I get to the human world, I'll grow up. Su Mu couldn't help but retort.
Ling Huayin looked at this face that looked like Su Yan, and said indescribably: "It's good for you to do this, I hope you never grow up." ”
Su Mu was puzzled, "Why?"
Ling Huayin looked at him deeply and did not answer.
I only heard Su Mu shouting behind him: "Ling Huayin, when I get to the human world, I want to cultivate immortals and become a person like you." ”
The three of them turned around on the road for a long time, until the evening, they came to an inn called "Demon House" in the north of the land of delusion, only to see that the courtyard was deserted, only an old man was calculating, and when they saw Ling Huayin and them coming in, the old man lazily raised his eyelids, and there was no intention of entertaining.
Ling Huayin stepped forward and asked, "Uncle, are you the shopkeeper here?"
The old man lazily replied, "Yes, but it's full, so you should stay somewhere else." ”
"We're not here to stay in a hotel, we're here to ask you personally. ”
"Who is it?" the old man finally put down what he was doing and raised his head.
"Have you ever seen a man dressed in clothes similar to mine? He was accompanied by a girl in yellow. ”
The old man looked at Ling Huayin's clothes and said, "A man and a woman...... I seem to have seen it. But if you want to find them, you have to find them yourself. There are one hundred and eighty rooms here, and I'm old, and I've lost my ledgers, and I can't remember where they are. ”
Situ Yan smiled: "You said that you were full, but why didn't we see a single person?"
Ling Huayin looked at the old man, and she also had this question.
I saw that the old man suddenly approached, and said in a suppressed voice: "Don't you see that my store says "Demon House", all the people who live here are demons, and you can't see it." ”
Ling Huayin looked around, but she didn't feel any demonic energy, so she half-believed: "Then we just look for it one by one, will it disturb the rest of the guests?"
The old man laughed hehe, his voice hoarse, and the god muttered: "Then it depends on your luck, either you will be counted out by the guests, or you will be kicked out." ”
Ling Huayin and Situ Yan glanced at each other, and there was no other way but to do what the old man said.
"One hundred and eighty rooms, let's go together to find when to go, why don't we go separately. Su Mu looked at the layers of rooms and felt a headache, so he put forward his opinion.
"Well, that's fine. But you have to follow one of us. Ling Huayin said.
"Why?"
"Do you know martial arts?"
"Well, no. A look of embarrassment appeared on Su Mu's face.
Ling Huayin then asked, "Then do you know how to spell?"
Su Mu helped his forehead, blushed a little and said, "No." ”
Ling Huayin concluded: "Nothing, Bai Yi is a disciple of Xianze Palace, and there is a big demon by his side, you must not be able to stop them, we have to have someone to protect you." Otherwise, how can I explain to your father, oh no, to Du Ye. ”
"I have nothing to do with him. If you think I'm weak, then I'll follow you. Although it was a little unpleasant to be disgusted by Ling Huayin, what Ling Huayin said was indeed right, and Su Mu could only endure this breath for the time being.
Situ Yan didn't have any opinion on this, and after thinking for a while, he said: "Then you start with a single layer, and I will find a double layer, which is more convenient." After that, I saw his long sleeves flicked, and a gust of wind blew, and he brushed twice and flashed to the second floor, and after a while, he disappeared.
Su Mu was dumbfounded, and sighed in his heart: Immortals are really immortals, and they use flying to walk. However, there was a disdainful expression on his face, and he said, "Can't this person walk well? ”
Ling Huayin glanced at him and said lightly, "Let's go too." With that, he walked to the guest room on the first floor. Su Mu hurriedly followed.
"Is there anyone?" "Excuse me......" Ling Huayin knocked on the door one by one, but never saw a single guest. The room was empty, and there was no trace of anyone living in it, and Ling Huayin couldn't help but suspect that the old man was lying to them.
And Su Mu was not so polite, he knocked on the door at first, and then he simply kicked the door in without asking, but the result was the same as Ling Huayin's side. So he said: "I don't think you knock either, the owner of this inn is clearly lying, and there is no one here at all." I'm guessing the person you're looking for isn't here either. I'll go settle accounts with my boss!"
Ling Huayin stopped: "Stop! We don't know if it's a lie, continue to look for it." ”
Su Mu sighed, and didn't dare to disobey Ling Huayin, so he separated from her and continued to check room by room.
When he found the fourth floor, Su Mu finally saw an empty room where someone had lived, only to see that the window was wide open and there was a used tea set on the table, Su Mu hurriedly leaned out of the room and shouted to the other side: "Ling Huayin, come and have a look." ”
Ling Huayin immediately walked towards this side, and as soon as she entered the room, the windows and doors of the room slammed shut. There was no one in the room, and Su Mu was nowhere to be seen. Ling Huayin was shocked, and suddenly realized that this room was an illusion, and after looking around, she found something under the table. It turned out to be a small black plant, and it looked like a fruit pit, and the core of the fruit was emitting a terrible smell.
Ling Huayin picked up the core vigilantly, and suddenly, there was a flicker in front of her, and she was sucked into the demonic energy.
At this time, in the city of illusions, a conversation between two men was coming from Du Ye's room.
One of them was Du Ye's voice: "City Lord, Situ Yan and Su Mu have gone to the Land of Illusion, and they should have arrived now." ”
Another man's voice sounded in a low voice: "Situ Yan still hasn't mentioned anything?"
Du Ye thought for a while and said, "It seems to be so. However, after he came into contact with Su Mu, he seemed to remember something. The subordinates are not so sure. ”
The man chuckled lowly, "Soon, it won't be long before he remembers who he is." It's not in vain that I've put in so much effort. ”
"There is still one thing that my subordinates don't know, why didn't the city lord see Situ Yan directly, if he believed the city lord, maybe he wouldn't have to wait so long. ”
The man snorted coldly: "Situ Yan is different from others, even if I say it, he may not believe it." He has always regarded himself as a righteous person, but he doesn't care to get involved with us 'people in the devil', rather than being hard, it is better for him to remember it slowly. ”
"The subordinate understood. City Lord, Su Mu is determined to leave the Sea of No Return, and I am a little worried. Du Ye said.
"What are you worried about? I'm afraid that he won't live for a few days when he reaches the human world?" The man seemed to guess Du Ye's mind at once, and Du Ye didn't dare to say more.
"When did you also have the kindness of a woman, you have to be clear, Su Muke doesn't take your kindness as a good intention, take care of yourself, it's none of your business, don't worry about it. If things are not done well, Su Mu will not die. ”
“...... It's the subordinates who are too worried. ”
"Is there anything else you'd like to report to me?"
Du Ye replied: "The woman who was with Situ Yan was Su Yan's junior sister, and she asked me if Su Yan had carried a scroll. ”
"Oh, junior sister, it's such a coincidence, you don't have to worry about this, the Great Wilderness Map is useless to me, but it's just a piece of waste paper, let them find it themselves." ”
Du Ye said: "Yes." Recently, the city lord's strength seems to have recovered a lot, and his subordinates are really gratified. ”
"Strength is only a matter of time. Only this freedom has made me lose my wings and never lose its joy, and I will make those who have harmed me doubly rewarded!"
