God's favor

When Shen Yi returned to his residence, it was already very late.The old man left dinner alone for the two of them, and after Shen Yi finished eating, he took the initiative to clean up the dishes.He also asked Bai Yi if there were any teeth-brushing tools here. Bai Yi had stayed in modern times for a few days, so he knew what Shen Yi needed.

Bai Yi told Shen Yi that ordinary people here use a kind of grass to clean their teeth. When he turned his hand over, several green grass appeared in front of Shen Yi.

Shen Yi looked at the grass in embarrassment, picked it up and stuffed it into his sleeve.

When he got to the kitchen, Shen Yi didn't ask the old man to help, he took the initiative to scoop some water from the water tank into the wooden basin, and washed the dishes.He took out the grass in his sleeve, stuffed it into his mouth with his eyes closed, chewed a few mouthfuls, the sour taste made Shen Yi spit it out immediately.

However, after he rinsed his mouth with water, the fresh taste in his mouth made Shen Yi feel that the grass was quite miraculous.

There are no candles here, only oil lamps are lit, and the oil lamps in the kitchen are blown to this side by the wind.

The sound of thumping outside caused Shen Yi to glance outside, it was the old man's son Dong Ren chopping firewood.

After Dong Ren finished chopping firewood, he filled a bowl of water in the water tank outside the kitchen, and drank it gulpfully, the muscles on his exposed arms glowing oily under the dim light.

Across the swaying wooden door, Dong Ren looked straight at Shen Yi, his lips in the shadow slowly parted into a strange arc.

Shen Yi only felt a purple light flash before his eyes, and then he lost consciousness and had a sweet dream.

Dong Ren clapped his palms, his eyes were empty, and Shen Yi, who was smiling at the corners of his mouth, followed behind him.

The courtyard door was gently pushed open with a creaking sound.Dong Ren walked out first, followed by Shen Yi.

The two of them walked straight towards the east of the village, and the hazy moonlight covered them with a layer of white gauze.

Shen Yi dreamed that he was appreciated by his boss, promoted to department manager, and also found a gentle and beautiful girlfriend.When he was dating his girlfriend, the face of the girlfriend next to him suddenly changed, and what was even more frightening was that this face was very familiar to Shen Yi, and it was Bai Yi.

Bai Yi immediately grabbed Shen Yi's collar, his handsome face was full of anger, "Come out with me."

Shen Yi was startled suddenly, his whole body shivered, and when he woke up, he found that he seemed to be kissing the roots of a tree.

He turned his head and saw Dong Ren next to him was kissing the tree roots devoutly. He trembled in fright. He got up and was about to run back, but he was dragged back by himself.

"Run what?"

Just as Bai Yi flew down from this weird tree, he saw Shen Yi preparing to run.

When Shen Yi saw that it was Bai Yi, he became courageous immediately, and he looked back at the tree.

To be precise, this is a tree full of flowers, Shen Yi doesn't know what kind of flower it is.The bright white petals of the tree are in full bloom under the white moonlight, like a peerless beauty, the petals are falling with the wind, emitting crystal light in the moonlight, like flying elves.

Shen Yi looked at the tree with his eyes motionless, he felt that his soul was going to be sucked by this tree.

Suddenly, a hand behind his back brought Shen Yi back to his sanity.

"This tree will suck people's souls, don't stare at it."

Bai Yi was looking at the tree at the moment, with a serious expression on his face.

"Then you see nothing?"

Bai Yi shrugged, "Of course I'm fine. Why would I pay attention to such a little ghost. Besides, this simple way of blinding your eyes will only confuse you mortals."

"Is this tree a spirit?"

"This seems to be a spirit tree."

"Are you not sure?"

Bai Yi looked sideways at Shen Yi, pursed his beautifully shaped lips, "I'm not a Taoist priest, how could these little ghosts know each other?"

Shen Yi nodded, anyway, he was asking this question casually, he looked around, "Dong Ren, why is it missing?" And the beautiful tree in front of Shen Yi disappeared into the night like a phantom .Shen Yi remembered the weird scene where he kissed the tree root just now, and shivered again, and moved closer to Bai Yi.

"He should go back. And with me here, what are you afraid of?"

"Then let's go back too! Tell the villagers about this and let them be careful."

Shen Yi looked at Bai Yi, his eyes sparkled, Bai Yi asked uncomfortably: "Why are you looking at me? I'm telling the truth."

"Aren't you a protoss?"

Hearing this, Bai Yi pursed his lips slightly, and with a wave of his hand, the two of them had already returned to the front of the temporary residence.

Now that he came back, Shen Yi felt at ease, he didn't want to run around, and was about to go back to the house to rest.

"Wait." Bai Yi suddenly said something to keep Shen Yi, in the dark night, Shen Yi turned around to see that his fair face seemed to be a little flushed.

"You don't have any clothes to change, here are some extra clothes for you.

After Bai Yi took a few sets of brand new clothes and stuffed them into Shen Yi's hands, he disappeared before Shen Yi's eyes.Shen Yi was stunned for a moment, then went back to his room and slept peacefully all night.When he woke up the next day, he saw the old man lying on the ground crying bitterly as soon as he went out of the house.

And Dong Ren, who was still alive last night, was lying on the ground with a stern face, with no breath in his body.

Shen Yi looked at Dong Ren's dark and lifeless eyes, and suddenly felt a chill behind him.He took a few steps back, and suddenly someone patted his back, causing Shen Yi to jump forward in fright.

"Shen Yi."

Hearing it was Bai Yi's voice, Shen Yi breathed a sigh of relief, and looked sideways at Bai Yi.

Bai Yi didn't make a sound, he just stayed aside quietly like Shen Yi.

The old man cried so much that he passed out, and was carried to the house by neighbors to rest. Many people came to the house.Some helped to dispose of Dong Ren's body, some helped to comfort the elderly, and the oldest patriarch in the village ordered several young people to go to the neighboring village to ask for the head of the Taoist priest.

When the room became quiet, Shen Yi quietly pulled Bai Yi's sleeve, and asked softly: "What happened to Dong Ren, I won't be like him. We must hurry up and tell the villagers."

"With me here, that ghost should worry about his own life."

"Okay, okay, you are the best, you have to keep me safe."

Bai Yi looked down at Shen Yi, "Until the contract between us is completed, I will do my best to protect you."

Shen Yi hummed softly, although he was comforted in his heart, but his gaze towards Donglai was still somewhat sad, people in this world are in such a dangerous situation, he didn't know whether it was a wrong or right decision to come here.He has passed the age of being impulsive, but he is still impulsive.

"Hand out."

"What?"

Shen Yi stretched out his hand, he looked at Bai Yi suspiciously, and Bai Yi cut a wound on his hand, and a drop of red blood dripped into the center of Shen Yi's palm.The wound on Bai Yi's hand disappeared instantly, and the blood drop in the center of Shen Yi's palm seemed to melt into Shen Yi's palm, leaving a red mark on the bowl in his hand.

Shen Yi took his own hand and touched the mark on his wrist. It felt warm, as if alive, "What is this?"

Bai Yi raised his chin slightly, closed his eyelids slightly, and a sense of arrogance naturally overflowed, "This is my divine blood. I just made a life-and-death contract for the two of us, so that I will sense when you are in danger. You should be at ease now."

"That's really great, Bai Yi, you really mean what you say."

With a safer guarantee, Shen Yi is naturally very happy, and he also feels much more amiable when he looks at Bai Yi.Bai Yi soon left again, and he told Shen Yi that he needed to explore a place again.

As for the existence of ghosts, the villagers have long noticed that a person will die in the village every once in a while.They invited many Taoist priests, but they couldn't solve it.This time they decided to go to another village to find out the news.

At noon, there was no one to help Shen Yi cook, so Shen Yi just went to the kitchen to mess with something.He also made an extra serving and served it to the old man lying in the house.

However, the old man was too sad to eat anything.

Shen Yi was also very helpless, but luckily someone from the house came soon.

A familiar figure came into Shen Yi's eyes, he opened his mouth in surprise, saw that Yan Yuan was following the old village head, and then closed his mouth again.

The old village head told the old man that Yan Yuan was a good Taoist leader, and he met on the way, and said that he would definitely help us deal with the ghosts.Will help his son avenge, and comfort the old man a few words.Naturally, the pain in the old man's heart when the white-haired man sent the black-haired man away couldn't be eliminated for a while. The old man listened, and the circles of his eyes began to turn red again, and tears fell on the bedding. She had only one son.

Shen Yi didn't know what to feel when he looked at it, he went out to get some air, and when he turned around, he saw Yan Yuan behind him.

Yan Yuan smiled, he stepped forward to hold Shen Yi's hand, and said softly: "Ayi, I miss you so much."

Yan Yuan's kind movements and tone caused goose bumps all over Shen Yi's body. He wanted to break free from Yan Yuan's hand, but found that Yan Yuan's hand was very strong.Shen Yi struggled twice, seeing Yan Yuan's dimmed expression, he stopped moving.

"Ayi, don't you miss me?"

Shen Yi laughed awkwardly. Although he felt that the two big men were a little too close, he still replied: "I think, of course I want to. You are my first friend here. And the last time we separated I borrowed it in such a hurry that I forgot to pay it back..."

Hearing this, Yan Yuan's expression brightened in an instant, and he interrupted Shen Yi, "Don't worry about the clothes, just treat it as a gift from me to Ayi. I have discussed it with the village chief, and I will live with you in the next few days." together."

Shen Yi thought that Yan Yuan was really a good person, and he was even more curious, "You really know how to catch demons and ghosts?"

Shen Yi looked at Yan Yuan up and down, the light green brocade robe embroidered with bamboo patterns, the same light green belt that was the width of a palm was tied around his waist, white and slender five fingers, his waist-length hair tied on a crescent-shaped wooden hairpin , looks like an aristocratic prince in ancient times, not like a Taoist priest in a Taoist temple.

Yan Yuan closed his head slightly, his thick and slender eyelashes drooping, his palm turned up, and a small werewolf glowing with green light appeared in his hand, "This is the wolf demon I subdued in the outskirts of Meiyue Forest."

Shen Yi widened his eyes, looking at the werewolf in Yan Yuan's hand, "It's true."

"It's true, do you want to touch it?" Yan Yuan looked at Shen Yi's curious expression, and the corner of his mouth curled into an invisible arc.His fingers pressed lightly a few times, and the werewolf roared a few times, although the sound was very small, it still reached Shen Yi's ears.

"Farewell, you'd better watch him carefully and don't let him come out to make trouble again." Shen Yi was worried that if he accidentally offended the wolf demon, it would bring danger to the village.

"Okay." Yan Yuan smiled slightly, and put away the werewolf.In a place that Shen Yi couldn't see, after rubbing his hands a few times, the small werewolf turned into transparent powder and disappeared into the air.

Now that he knew that Yan Yuan was a real Taoist priest, Shen Yi felt much more at ease.Dong Ren's death actually touched Shen Yi a lot, and it also reminded him that the world he lived in was completely different from the place he stayed in before, and this was not a simple trip.

Shen Yi turned his head and saw Yan Yuan was looking at him, his soft and beautiful eyebrows seemed to be full of stars.Being watched by a man like this, Shen Yi felt a little embarrassed, he coughed a few times, and asked: "Yan Yuan, do you think my clothes are weird?"

"No."

"Then why are you always looking at me?"

"I feel like we've met before."

"..."

Shen Yi turned his head silently, he was about to put his arms around Yan Yuan's shoulders, but he found that Yan Yuan was taller than him.But at this time, an unexpected and cold voice came in.

"Why is he here?"

It was Bai Yi who appeared following the voice, Bai Yi's expression became a little cold when he saw Yan Yuan.

"He is the Taoist chief invited by the village, specially to catch monsters."

Yan Yuan smiled slightly and responded to Shen Yi's words, while Bai Yi snorted coldly and stood beside Shen Yi.

The two of them put great pressure on Shen Yi, but the deadlock was quickly broken by the villagers.

The person who came was an old woman who lived on the west side of the village. She came to find the village chief.Hearing the sound, the village chief came out of the back room and went up to hold the old woman's hand.The old woman told Yan Yuan with red eyes that her son had disappeared. He was still in the house this morning, but he disappeared after a while.

The village head told her not to panic, he had already invited a Taoist priest and introduced Yan Yuan to the old woman.

Yan Yuan frowned slightly when he heard this, he said a few words of comfort, and said that he would definitely find her son for her.

After that, several old people from the village came one after another, and they all said that their son had disappeared.

Yan Yuan asked each of them about their situation in detail, and they all disappeared between last night and this morning.

After these old people left, it was already half an hour later, Yan Yuan looked back at Shen Yi and Bai Yi who were talking in secret.There was a flash of pain in the beautiful eyes, and the nails dug into the palm of the hand, and in the blink of an eye, it returned to its pure white jade appearance.

With a smile on his face, Yan Yuan walked towards Shen Yi, only to find that the two were arguing.

Shen Yi said that Bai Yi does not eat fireworks in the world, but Bai Yi ridiculed Shen Yi, being extremely cowardly.

When Yan Yuan walked over, Shen Yi let out an angry snort, while Bai Yi let out a cold snort, leaning his back against the wall, his handsome face covered with frost.

Yan Yuan looked at Shen Yi with tender eyes, and the nails hidden under the sleeves couldn't help scratching out red marks one after another.He wants to make up for his past mistakes, but is the person in front of him the former him?The more thoughts in his heart, the calmer Yan Yuan became. He stared at Shen Yi, as if he wanted to see the soul deep in Shen Yi's body.

"Yan Yuan, do you have a way to find that monster?"

Yan Yuan smiled and said, "Of course there is a way."

Hearing this, Shen Yi immediately looked at Yan Yuan with bright eyes, his handsome face shining brightly.

Bai Yi snorted coldly again, and murmured: "You little ghost, do you need me to do it?"

Shen Yi didn't care about Bai Yi's attitude, he stepped forward and took Yan Yuan's hand, "Let's go together."

Yan Yuan's eyes enlarged slightly following Shen Yi's movements, and a charming smile bloomed on his beautiful face, "Of course, I will definitely protect Ayi well."
