Chapter 172 The Raft
Mu Xingqiu stopped practicing boxing and looked at Mu in surprise: The young demon who has always fought with him, practiced at the same time and practiced at the same time, had the first time interest in outsiders exceeded his interest in him. He was flying around Fangfang, only a foot apart.
Fangfang was unaware of anything, but guessed something was different through Mu Xingqiu's expression, "What's wrong?"
"It...it's around you, as if it's still smelling you."
"Has this kind of thing happened before?" Although Fangfang couldn't see the young demon, her eyes were still searching left and right, straightening her body, and she was a little helpless.
"Zuo Liuying stares at me and the young demon every seven days. It's been more than three years. The young demon's eyes never glance at him. This is the first time you meet... It's really strange. If Zuo Liuying knows... he must not let him know, Fangfang, don't tell anyone."
Fangfang gradually felt a slight wind blowing around her, and her mood became more and more happy. "Why? The first one has been studying the real fantasy for many years, and must know what's going on."
"The Secret Department of the Forbidden Secret... Zuo Liuying is a lunatic. He might break you up or treat you as bait, then..."
"I will be able to accept the observation of the head of the head with you." Fangfang said this casually, then stretched out her arms and felt the breeze surrounding her.
The young demon stopped and stretched out an arm. When fighting with Mu Xingqiu, his fingers as hard as thin iron rods touched the fingers of the human opposite, and his mouth kept clicking.
Fangfang still couldn't see anything, but her body trembled slightly. She said softly, "Is it touching me?"
Mu Xingqiu nodded, even more surprised.
"It's so weird." Fangfang's voice was even lower. She seemed to be afraid of disturbing the young demon. She closed her eyes and stretched her arms in the air without moving.
She has maintained this position for the past hour. The young demon opposite her imitated her behavior from beginning to end. Mu Xingqiu didn't move a little further away, and his eyes gradually changed from surprise to soft and joyful.
With a puff, the young demon disappeared.
Fangfang opened her eyes, felt lost, and looked up at the starry sky for a while. After a while, she said, "It said a lot to me, but I can't understand a single word."
"Can you hear it speak?"
"It's not what the ears hear, it's here." Fangfang pointed at her head, "I think it has no malice, its voice... is particularly gentle."
"I knew that it was originally looking for you, but it was standing in the Patriarch's Tower. I was the one who had thought of you and was inherited from the mind. It was a mistake to live in my body."
Fangfang did not come to this conclusion, "No, I saw you fighting with the young demon at Yangshen Peak. At that time, I didn't know its existence, and it did not show any interest in me."
Looking back, there was indeed one time when Mu Xingqiu was trying to hide the young demon at that time, so he didn't tell Fangfang the truth, "That's strange, why it suddenly became familiar with you after a few years."
The speed of the hard shell slowed down, and Fangfang casts the spell on the long whip again. Sitting on the edge, looking down at the calm sea water, what she saw in her eyes was still full of stars and moons, and her own face.
Interestingly, practitioners always need to train themselves not to care too much about their appearance, but their appearance will become more and more refined. At the age of nineteen, mortal women are already quite old, most of them are already married and have children, and live a completely different life. For a Taoist priest, this is the beginning of a long journey. Fangfang walked a little faster, but that's all.
She turned her head slightly, with a familiar smile on her face, "The young demon looks like you."
Mu Xingqiu was stunned. He didn't look like the young demon at all. He was a light blue, dead wooden stake like a small thing, not even like a human, and even more unlikely to be like him.
Suddenly he understood the meaning of Fangfang's words.
According to Zuo Liuying's guess, the young demon is probably produced by the power of the mind, which is related to the five-character mantra left by Mei Chuan'an. It usually lives in its own "heart". It must understand all the thoughts of its master. At the beginning, he was angry, confused, and violent, and it was the same, so both sides fought back and forth; later in front of Shen Zhun, both sides responded to the enemy together; and later practiced boxing and learned spells.
Fangfang was right. The young demon looked very similar to him, and even knew the deepest emotions in his heart.
He likes Fangfang, and at Yangshen Peak, this kind of liking is not strong enough to overwhelm everything, so the young demon cannot feel it. Now, it feels it, so you have to look carefully.
The young demon doesn't know how to hide his sincerity, and it will be revealed directly as soon as he meets him, but he can't understand a word of what he says.
Thinking about this, Mu Xingqiu's face turned a little red, and he was stuttering, and he didn't know what he was talking about.
"Sit here." Fangfang patted the place beside her.
Mu Xingqiu walked over and hesitated for a while before sitting down.
Both of them were the standard sitting posture of Taoist Pangshan, with their knees together and kneeling on their calves, watching the long whip swaying rapidly in the sea water, as well as the stars and moons in the sky and their reflections.
No one spoke for a long time. They neither thought nor watched the scenery. They just felt that they didn’t need to speak at all. Sitting quietly was the way of conversation they most longed for.
"Can the people from Yelin Town be retrieved?" Fangfang asked suddenly.
"Yes." Mu Xingqiu said affirmatively, not surprising at all, as if the two of them had been talking silently, just as they were talking here.
"They can't practice, how long can they live?"
Fangfang's expression was a little sad. Mu Xingqiu looked at her reflection in the sea, "Are you thinking about Mr. Qin?"
Fangfang bit her lip, "I ran away. If my father was still alive, he would definitely be very angry, very sad, and embarrassed."
Mr. Qin's thin and majestic image appeared in Mu Xingqiu's mind. Indeed, Mr. Qin was a very shameful person. His daughter fled in public on the day of marriage, which would definitely be a major blow to him.
"Mr. Qin now will only be glad that you escaped from Yelin Town in advance." Mu Xingqiu comforted, unable to think of any more words.
"Maybe." Fangfang lowered her head, "I thought there would always be a chance to seek my father's understanding."
Mu Xingqiu had no contact. Fangfang was not complaining about his rescue at the beginning, but was just telling a knot in his heart. For practitioners, this was a difficult decision, and his listening was more effective than comforting.
"If all the people in Yelin Town... are dead, or Yelin Town is still there and my father dies of illness, his last impression of me is to escape against his wishes." Fangfang continued. She didn't want to reveal her feelings at this time, but the young demon changed her mind, "My father was determined to train me to be a well-educated person."
Fangfang talked about many past events, and the father described was completely different from Mr. Yan Li in Mu Xingqiu's impression. He would spend all day playing games with his daughter, and even make faces to make her laugh.
When Fangfang calmed down, Mu Xingqiu felt puzzled, "Mr. Qin loves you so much, why... why did he marry you to the Shen family? Everyone knows that the boss of the Shen family is a fool."
Fangfang seemed to be in a much better mood, "My father can tell fortunes..."
"Mr. Qin can tell fortunes? The people in the town always ask for people from the big and small Erbao."
"My father learned it himself and never calculated it for outsiders, but he always calculated it for me, saying that I should have a disaster in my fate, and that I will be strong in my life. In the future, I will be able to defeat my husband and son, and I must marry someone like Master Shen. Then he always said that he would not live for a few years and did not want me to have food and clothing."
Mu Xingqiu widened his eyes and said angrily: "Where is a father who curses his daughter so much?"
"My father has become pessimistic since he got sick, and his calculated fate has become more and more terrifying. This is not his original intention. He hopes that I will be happy for the rest of my life."
Although Mu Xingqiu was beaten when he was a child, he still respected Mr. Qin very much, but Fangfang talked about Mr. Qin with many faces, "To say something you don't like to listen, it is better for Mr. Qin to tell less fortune and teach more."
Fangfang laughed out loud, "My father has always been proud of fortune-telling. He said that this is a magical technique to gauge Yin and Yang, and teaching is just a means to support his family."
Mu Xingqiu curled his lips and became more and more dissatisfied with Mr. Qin, but he didn't want to touch the pain in Fangfang's heart. He thought for a while and said, "My father's opinion is different. He always said that supporting his family is the most important thing. Others are not doing their jobs. He also said that he would be grateful to me when I grow up."
"The father always has no idea of his children."
Mu Xingqiu suddenly stood up and pointed to the distance, "Look, a boat."
Fangfang also saw it and stood up, "It's a raft, and there seems to be someone on it."
The raft drifted with the wind, getting farther and farther away from them. Fangfang cast a spell to change the direction of the hard shell. After a quarter of an hour, she caught up with the raft.
The raft was extremely simple, and some places were rotten, and there was a half demon lying on it - a coma, unconscious.
On the surface, this is a thin human man, who lacks his left leg and is replaced by a wooden stick, but two fangs are exposed in his mouth, and his ears are pointed and long, which is obvious that his half-demon identity is on the ground.
Mu Xingqiu reached out to hold the raft, not really trying to save the half demon.
The half demon moved and spoke, "Water, water, give me water...No, no, I will never dare to do it again, give up my life...um...Go spare me, Lord Yi Shijun."
Mu Xingqiu was shocked. He had heard the name "Yi Shijun". It was said more than three years ago from the mouth of the wolf demon Qi Wuxia. It seemed to be a big monster, but no Taoist priest in Pangshan knew about this monster. The Five Elements Department was conducting investigations, but Mu Xingqiu had never heard of the result.
Many days later, the same name was spoken by a half demon.
Mu Xingqiu jumped onto the raft, picked up a little sea water and poured it on the half demon's face, and asked, "Where is Yi Shijun?"
Ban Yao opened his eyes, and seemed not to recognize who was in front of him, with a confused look on his face, "Yi Shijun is eating, constantly eating... I escaped and never want to go back again... I want to see the Taoist priest."
"I am Taoist priest Pangshan."
The half demon's eyes flashed with light, as if something suddenly became possessed by a person. He sat up suddenly, "Pang Shan? It's Pang Shan, Pang Shan is about to fall off."
