Treat God as a follower

Xuan Yong was still asleep, with his hands clasped in front of his body, his body trembling slightly, his head covered in sweat.

Ling Guang shook him a few times but didn't wake him up, so he simply slapped him down.

Xuan Yong was woken up by the beating, and he sat up abruptly covering his face, his eyes were dazed, and he came back to his senses after a while, looking at the person in front of him in disbelief: "You hit me, why did you hit me?"

Ling Guang said very calmly: "My lord, you are having a nightmare. You are very dishonest. I am afraid that you will hurt yourself."

Xuan Yong stroked his heart slowly.

Ling Guang was about to ask a question, when he saw that his underwear was soaked with sweat, he seemed really scared.

Even if he killed him, he would never think of a monster who was more timid than a human being. After thinking about it, he got up and kindly poured him a cup of tea.

Xuan Yong probably wasn't fully awake yet, so he raised his hand in a daze, and instead of receiving the cup, he knocked over the tea.

The hot tea was unbiased, all spilled on his shoulders, slightly tingling, sticking to the front of his clothes, and lingering for a long time.

Ling Guang didn't have time to stop him. Seeing that the tea was all spilled, he went back and forth between pouring a new cup first or seeing if he was burned. After hesitating for a while, he finally figured out which is the important point, and asked carefully: " Does your shoulder... hurt?"

By the time he opened his mouth to ask, the spilled tea was already cold.

But Xuan Yong suddenly raised his eyes to look at him as if he had been scalded severely.

The expression in those eyes was either happy or sad, as if caught in some kind of sweet and sad memory.

Why are there two completely different feelings about the same thing?

After a long time, Xuan Yong finally moved, he stretched out his hand to touch his bosom, the jade stone on the belt hook was cold, touching his fingertips, it was so cold that it pierced his heart.

There was that sad look in his eyes again.

Seeing him like this, Ling Guang didn't know what to do for a moment.

Helplessly waiting by the side.

After waiting for a while, I remembered that since I was a servant, I still should do something, so I got up and poured a cup of tea.

This time it was not overturned, Xuan Yong drank tea, swallowed even those past memories, and finally woke up, looking at Ling Guang with tender eyes: "I woke up from a nightmare, and when I opened my eyes, I could see It’s great to have someone who cares about me next to me.”

There are countless days and nights in the mountains, and every time I wake up, I only have the leaves in the forest and the cold wind to accompany me.

Ling Guang felt goosebumps all over his back when he heard this, and thought, "Who is here to care about you?"

Maybe people's hearts are extraordinarily fragile after fear, Xuan Yong is easily moved at the moment, and seeing that Ling Guang has no plans to leave, he probably wants to stay with him, it is even more touching, and he almost shed two lines of tears.

He rubbed his sore nose, thought for a while, gritted his teeth, pulled Ling Guang to the edge of the bed, straightened his back, and said solemnly, "I want to tell you something."

Ling Guang casually said, "Well, sir, tell me."

Xuan Yong took a deep breath: "This incident...may be a bit unbelievable to you, don't be afraid."

He perfunctory: "Well, not afraid."

"You really won't be afraid?" Xuan Yong emphasized.

He had no choice but to reply solemnly: "No, don't worry."

Xuan Yong was not at ease, he pressed Ling Guang's shoulders, his voice was very soft and slow: "Actually... I have been teasing you before that I am a god, and I lied to you."

Ling Guang remained calm, thinking that this is not nonsense.

Xuan Yong's expression was solemn, and he slowed down his speech again: "Actually, I am... a demon, a tree demon, a spirit made from an ancient tree."

He finished speaking softly, carefully staring at the person in front of him, not even daring to breathe.

There was no reaction from the person in front of him.

His heart began to beat, what if he frightens this little follower, after finally meeting one who is very pleasing to the eye, where will he find it in the future?

He stretched out his hand worriedly and flicked Ling Guang's eyes: "You...are you scared stupid?"

Ling Guang coughed, rubbed his face, and looked up again, feeling that he was too indifferent and embarrassed, so he put on a frightened look: "Demon... demon..."

"Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you, I didn't come to this world to hurt anyone." Xuan Yong grabbed his shoulder again.

His expression immediately returned to normal: "Well, well, I'm not afraid anymore."

It's tiring to pretend to be scared!

"Huh?" Is it so reasonable?

Xuan Yong concocted a bunch of words such as evil spirits are not all bad, they also have reason, but before he uttered a word, he felt a little disappointed.

Ling Guang's shoulder hurt from being scratched, he raised his hand to prop up Xuan Yong's arm, and nodded calmly again: "My lord, your kindness to take me in is enough to prove that you are not a bad monster. I promise, I will never say anything about it."

Xuan Yong was shocked again, this little follower sometimes has no eyesight, sometimes he is too good, and he snatched what he wanted to say, how can he continue to say it?

He couldn't continue, but Ling Guang took advantage of him, and said: "The elder said just now that you came to the world to harm others, so what are you doing?"

The words have already been said, Xuan Yong regards Ling Guang as his own family, there is no need to mention the cause and effect of the previous situation, I just told him about looking for the Five Elements Spirit Artifact, and by the way, briefly said that I also came to Yancheng 60 years ago, and at the end He sighed again: "Besides, you should be able to see that I made some human friends here before. Since the big brother of the Lu family is still alive, I want to take care of him as much as possible."

Compared with the Lu family, Ling Guang wanted to hear about the spiritual weapon, so he brought back the topic: "Have you sensed the five-element spiritual weapon?"

"I seem to be aware of the traces of the water spirit weapon." Xuan Yong closed his eyes and concentrated, slowly turned a direction, raised his hand and pointed, and opened his eyes again, pointing the end of his finger to the north.

That's where they're headed today.

What did the two think of at the same time: "Could it be related to the elder brother of the Lu family?"

That big brother Lu obviously never went down the mountain, so why did he run up to the two of them during the day, since the aura of the water spirit weapon was in his direction, it shouldn't be a coincidence.

"But..." Xuan Yong was also confused, "I was so close to Big Brother Lu during the day, and I didn't sense anything. The breath of this water spirit weapon seemed to appear suddenly at night. Could it be that he is still there? Easy to say."

Ling Guang felt helpless. The dryad's sense of the five-element spiritual weapon was not always there, but it was not clear exactly why it would appear, so how to lock the target?

By the way, what should I do if I want to take back the five-element spiritual weapon from a person?

This kind of situation has never happened before when the artifact became conscious and was thrown into the mortal womb. Even though he was able to manipulate the five-element spiritual artifacts before, he is still powerless against them now.

Thinking about it, this tree demon is the only one in this world who can control them, he looked sideways at Xuan Yong, feeling a little dazed.

Listening to Xuan Yong said again: "Brother Lu must invite you down the mountain, no matter whether he has anything to do with this, but... the spiritual weapon breath just appeared, and the last one I saw should be Ah Xin, will it be Is it her?"

"The direction doesn't seem right, Ah Xin... Mrs. Chen lives in the south."

"That's because you don't know. The first time I met Ah Xin, it happened to be in the north." He raised his hand again, "The bank on the street was a restaurant more than sixty years ago, called Yuelai Restaurant."

Ling Guang echoed absently: "What a sloppy name."

Xuan Yong said: "At that time when I first came to the world, I was hungry, but I had no money. It happened that the shopkeeper of Yuelai Restaurant wanted to take a concubine. He took a fancy to a rare flower and plant that I brought from the mountain, and told me it would be useful. Flowers were exchanged for a meal of food and drink, but my flowers were stolen before I paid the bill, and the shopkeeper didn’t allow me to leave, but fortunately Liang Huan paid for me, and the two of us chased the thief who stole the flowers together..."

"Wait a minute!" Ling Guang interrupted, "Who is Liang Huan?"

Xuan Yong paused, fell silent for a while, cast his eyes out of the window, and said slowly: "A friend who is worthless." He turned around again, "There is only one thing, Xiao Guang was adopted by him in the first place."

"Oh, the owner of the black cat."

"Yeah." Xuan Yong continued, "We just caught up with that little thief, and before we could make a move, the little thief died, and the government took both of us as murderers and put us in prison. In the middle of the night, we saw the little thief come back from the dead. , He stole the key of the yamen servant and opened the prison door for us, we continued to chase after him without saying a word, and saw him leaping up the high wall and entering a large house."

Ling Guang was listless when he heard this, but he became more energetic when he came here: "He entered the Lu family, then what?"

then……

A trace of tenderness flashed in Xuan Yong's eyes.

The two of them chased to the high wall of Lu's house, Xuan Yong still had the time to get close, and easily jumped onto the top of the wall, Liang Huan was holding a folding fan, panting, although he stayed in the prison for half a day and was covered with dust and grass, but the brocade clothes could not cover it Living in Huagui, when he is silent, he also reveals a grace that makes people dare not approach, but when he opens his mouth...

He shouted under the wall: "Brother Xuan, I'm almost exhausted, I'm just a little snitch, forget it, let him go."

Xuan Yong disagreed: "My things must be taken back."

"I'll go find the government tomorrow..."

The person under the wall hadn't finished speaking, but hearing the sound of the clothes flapping, there was no one on the wall.

Xuan Yong flicked lightly over the roof of Lu's house. Even in the middle of the night, the rich and noble houses were still brightly lit, but the little snitch was good at hiding, so he couldn't find it everywhere. Once, landed and leaned over to stop.

Looking up again, he suddenly froze.

I saw a room with half-opened windows, a person sitting in front of the desk with a book in his hand, with a black hair tied in a silk ribbon, his thin lips slightly pursed, his face was calm, he flipped the book lightly, his brows were filled with infinite warmth, as if the moon was shining brightly, Also like flawless jade.

People outside the window feel that the world is really beautiful.

He was probably ashamed of himself and lowered his head slightly.

When he looked up again, there was no one in the room.

He was startled, and quickly got up, he didn't move yet, but felt a touch of coldness on his neck.

He froze, turned slowly, and saw that the young master who had just studied was raising his sword at him at this moment: "Who are you, how dare you trespass into Lu's house?"

Under the bright moon, the young master was dressed in brocade and white clothes, and the breeze blew the hem of the clothes, making him even more like a heavenly man.

He smiled and raised his hand: "Listen to my explanation..."

As soon as the words fell, there was a rustling sound, someone followed his trail and fell from the eaves, just in between the two of them, the young master was caught off guard and withdrew his sword, and when the person stood still, he raised his sword and stabbed at him again.

There was no murderous intent in this stab, Xuan Yong did not dodge or dodge.

The tip of the sword stopped halfway.

When Liang Huan turned around, he was startled: "You alarmed this family?"

The young master nodded in acknowledgment, and then said: "There are still accomplices, what do you want to do?"

Xuan Yong pushed Liang Huan away, slowly pushed aside the young master's sword tip, and looked at him sincerely: "We are chasing someone."

He told the young master what had happened, the young master didn't have any doubts, asked the general direction of the snitch, led them out of the courtyard gate, and chased them to the kitchen of the side house. There was a thick pile of fire in the courtyard. Weeds, the young master raised his hand to stop the two of them, and only approached slowly, lightly picked the grass with the tip of the sword a few times, then put away the sword, and said softly: "Come out."

But seeing that a person came out from the haystack, the person took off the melon skin hat and shook the grass clippings inside, then jumped out and walked in front of them with his hands behind his back.

Take off the hat and look again, it turned out to be a girl, this girl is not short, she is dressed like that of a man.

The girl walked towards the young master and cupped her hands: "Thank you, Second Young Master Lu, for being merciful, otherwise, I would have been pierced by now, how do you know I am hiding here?"

Young Master Lu smiled slightly: "Of course I'm familiar with my own home." He paused, and then said, "Do you know that I'm the second son of the Lu family?"

"The local people don't know about the Lu family, the richest man in Yancheng. I'm afraid they haven't. The young master is definitely not a servant when he dresses like this. If you look at his age, you can guess it. Anyway, your young master is not in Yancheng now. City, only you."

Second Young Master Lu laughed again: "Girl is extremely intelligent, but, why did you steal other people's things and play tricks on them, causing them to go to jail for nothing? If you have any difficulties, I'm sorry..."

"Stop, stop." The female snitch quickly waved her hand, "I'm not doing it for money, I just saw his strange flowers and plants, and used them to enjoy." She raised her eyes and looked behind the second young master, "Hey, I said you are too, Why bother chasing me, you kept chasing me, I had no choice but to feign death to get away, who knows that I happened to be seen by an official, you went to jail, you asked for it."

"Hey!" Upon hearing this, Liang Huan was no longer indifferent, rolled up his sleeves and was about to move forward.

But since this was his home, he didn't act rashly.

The female snitch showed no fear, she held her head up and said, "Even though I put you in jail, I also saved you. Even if it's evened out, okay, why do you keep making trouble with me, a weak woman?"

"Weak girl..." Liang Huan gritted his teeth and wanted to come forward again.

Second Young Master Lu gently raised his hand to stop him, and patiently persuaded the woman: "If you return the things you stole from these two brothers, then it will be considered even."

The woman raised her eyebrows: "That white flower, it looks weird, like a ghost, it's nothing to look at, I threw it away."

"What?" Even Xuan Yong couldn't calm down now.

But at this moment, there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside the door, and the three turned their heads quickly.

The female snitch took advantage of this moment and slipped away in a blink of an eye.

The sound of footsteps approaching, the house was full of people soon, the master of the Lu family hurriedly got up and greeted him with his family members, seeing that it was a group of officials, the leader was polite to Master Lu, first bowed his hands and saluted, Fang said: " There are two fugitives from the yamen who fled to the noble house, so I would like to ask Mr. Lu to make it easier for you."

Before Master Lu answered, the Second Young Master had already walked out, and Xuan Yong and the two followed.

When the officer saw it, he immediately said, "It's them!" He was about to rush over while speaking.

Young Master Lu knew the truth about these two people, so he stood in front of him, his shape was like Yushu Lanzhi, and his voice was clear and bright: "The two friends of the younger generation are guests at the house. They are indeed from the prison of the Yamen, but they are definitely not evil people."

The officer was stunned: "Second young master, since you know they are fugitives, why did you hide them for them? How long have you known them? How can you be sure that they are not evil people? If you harbor fugitives today, I'm afraid you will inevitably end up in prison."

Second Young Master Lu wanted to say more, but was interrupted by someone. Master Lu was looking at him with a frown: "Cong'er, the Lu family has always obeyed the law, so I can't intercede for you as a father."

Arguing with the government will inevitably cause more trouble and affect the reputation. Anyway, even if the young master of the Lu family enters the government prison, he will not be punished. He means to lock him up and release him tomorrow morning, and the matter will be over.

It's just that the second young master was unlucky. He lost himself when he met these two people.

If he only paid for it this time, it would be regarded as his luck in this life.

The three sat in a circle in the prison, looking at each other.

Master Lu stuffed the money. This cell is not the same as the two of them stayed in before. There are all tables, chairs and beds, tea and snacks are also placed, and the incense burner is faintly lit, bringing a fragrance to the room.

Looking at the light smoke from the censer, Liang Huan felt that the three of them would be sorry for the fate of having been in prison together if they didn't ask for help.
