i want to be by your side

When we arrived in Liangcheng, Xiqi, it had already been a month, half a month later than Yuan Jian expected, because the things on the Beast Order were too unexpected, so Yuan Jian had to be in Stay there until things are over before leaving.

Walking on the streets of Liangcheng, feeling the cultural atmosphere here which is completely different from that of the Yin Dynasty, I couldn't help feeling more emotional in my heart.The atmosphere in Xiqi was more open than that of the Yin Dynasty. Women here could serve as officials in the court and make a living for their families just like men.In the Yin Dynasty, you would only see princes and young masters molesting women on the street; but in Xiqi, you could see women molesting women.

Yes, you read that right, Xiqi's atmosphere is so open.Every time I passed by and saw them, I wished I could stay away from them, for fear that they would come up and tease Yuan Jian.Fortunately, no one came to disturb us along the way, and we checked into the inn smoothly.

I forgot to mention one thing, because Shan Che's death was not in Yuan Jian's plan, so besides Zheng Rentao, we brought another person to replace Shan Che's work.

That person's name is Zhang Xiaoxiao.

You can imagine what my expression was when I heard the news, right?I don't know what medicine the other party took wrongly, and I kept looking for various topics to chat with me along the way, from the gossip in the rivers and lakes to the horses she once raised, the thoughts jumped so fast, I don't know how she turned to this place. of.

I found an excuse to come out, casually found an old man selling herbal tea on the street, found a corner and sat down, drinking the herbal tea in a bowl, my eyes kept scanning the surroundings habitually, and then saw Zheng Rentao and Zhang Xiaoxiao.

I was so frightened that I almost choked on water, and quickly dropped three pennies and walked in the opposite direction, praying secretly that those two people didn't see me.Suddenly the crowd surged up and rushed in the same direction, as if something had happened.

I also looked over curiously, I was just here to join in the fun out of boredom, but I didn't expect to see someone I was familiar with.Now even if I want to stay out of it, I can't help it.

When I arrived, it seemed that an exorcism operation was going on at the scene.An old Taoist priest in shabby clothes was waving a wooden sword, muttering words, and a huge gray cockroach was lying on the ground in pain and screaming, very shrill.

On the side, Yeyin was captured by two burly men and kept struggling, but she could only look anxiously at the painful state of Bell on the ground.

"Let go of her! I beg you, let her go! I promise you anything, you let her go!" Yeyin cried loudly, "Aunt Qing, where are you? Come and save mother!"

"Yin'er, you actually recognize a demon as your mother. You must have been confused by this demon! Let me get rid of this demon and let you regain your senses!" As she spoke, she raised her sword and was about to stab the bell.

"Stop!" I rushed over, pulled out the black knife to stop the sword, cut off the sword, and then chopped off the old Taoist's wooden sword to prevent him from doing the trick.

I picked up the dying bell on the ground, turned my head and slashed back the two big men who were holding Yeyin, and quickly picked up Yeyin and flashed him.

I took them to Peach Blossom Stream. This is a peaceful place where little demons live. Human beings cannot easily set foot here. It can be said that this is a paradise for demons.I used to plan to come here to sleep peacefully when I earn enough time, and no one will disturb me, so this is also the place where all big monsters choose to retreat.

I have a piece of my own land in Taohuajian, where there is a log cabin I built with my own hands.There is an enchantment outside the wooden house, so you don't have to worry about other monsters breaking in when I'm not there.I held the bell, led Yeyin to the house, put the bell in place, and after confirming that she was in good condition, I called Yeyin to the stone table outside the house, and calmed down the little girl's emotions. Start asking the ins and outs.

"What's going on?" I asked.

"There's a man in black..." Yeyin calmed down and began to slowly tell what happened after I left the restaurant.

Not long after I left the restaurant that night, a man in black suddenly broke into the restaurant one night and lured Bell out.Yeyin waited anxiously all night, but after waiting for three days in a row, Bell didn't come back at all. Yeyin hurriedly asked the nearby monsters to help find it, but it was as if Lingdang and the man in black had disappeared from the world. There was no trace of anything.Just when everyone was at a loss, one morning, when the restaurant was open as usual, Bai Shu, the guy in the building, found an unconscious gray cat in front of the restaurant, and was so frightened that he hurriedly took the cat back to inform the night. sound.Later, no matter what method was used, Bell was still unconscious, Yeyin had no choice but to temporarily hand over the business of the restaurant to Bai Shu, and brought Bell to Xiqi to find me.In the end, I met a member of the demon-eliminating family in Xiqi. Originally, the bell had a spell I set to cover up the demonic aura on her body, but somehow the woman from the demon-eliminating family saw the identity of the demon of the bell, and She decided that Yeyin was bewitched by a demon, so she wanted to get rid of the demon.Then there was the scene on the street.

"It seems that the woman's attitude towards you is unusual!" I exclaimed, "Even the intimate title of 'Yin'er'."

"Aunt Qing!" Yeyin called me angrily, "Is this the point?"

"Didn't I see that the atmosphere is too tense, do you want to be active?" I comforted, "Don't worry too much, Ling Dang's current situation is not serious, the reason why she is unconscious now is mainly because of the overdrawn demon power That's amazing, you..."

"Aunt Qing, I'm not a child anymore." Yeyin interrupted me suddenly, she raised her red eyes, making me forget to speak for a while.Seeing Yeyin's mature and stable appearance before, she rarely cried no matter what difficulties she encountered, but now the corners of her eyes are red.

"Aunt Qing." She tried her best to suppress the emotions in her heart, "Tell me the truth, has Mommy's demon pill been taken away?"

I looked at those stubborn eyes and nodded with great difficulty.Why did I forget that there are also a group of monsters in the restaurant, the situation of the bell is obvious, can't they see it?Now that he saw it, Yeyin should always know it too.

"I told you, don't worry too much." I held Yeyin in my arms distressedly, and comforted me, "Although this demon pill has been taken out, as long as it hasn't been refined for a day, we can still find it." return."

"But what if it is refined by someone?" Ye Yin buried her head in my arms and asked in a muffled voice.

"You think too much. No one in this world can refine the demon pill of the bell in a short period of time! Even I need to retreat for half a year to refine it. So we only need to find it within half a year. Can."

"But half a year is so short!" Yeyin cried. "I'm afraid I won't be able to find it by then."

"Then let's find that person, and I'll refine him into a demon pill and give it to your mother, okay?"

"……Um."

……

I left Yeyin with food and water for three days and then left. It turned out that my original intention was to let them stay in Taohuajian until I got the Yaodan back, but Yeyin insisted on going out to help, she said she didn't want to Seeing her mother unconscious and unable to do anything, she must do something.So I gave her three days to get ready, say goodbye to Bell, and then go out with me.

Taohuajian is a safe place. Even if something happens, I will be able to detect it immediately and then come back here. Moreover, there is plenty of spiritual energy here, which is very suitable for Bell to recuperate now.Besides, monsters themselves don't need to be taken care of like humans, and they don't need to be taken care of by people. There is nothing to do when Yeyin stays here.Instead of leaving her to think wildly with this one person, it is better to agree to take her to find the demon pill together.
