Finally, when night fell, lanterns were hung on the main street of Dongchang City, and the other streets were plunged into darkness. Except for the high-end households, the lights were still there, and most of the ordinary people's homes had died with the sunset.
Bai Fanlu waited in the dark at the corner, while the young man was in the light, led by the little monkey to search around, and the two kept a close distance.
After about two sticks of incense, Zhizhi responded.
It seems to have found the target, no longer jumping up and down aimlessly, but running in one direction.
The young man chased after him, but he didn't go very far when a figure suddenly appeared on the opposite empty street.
Then, a slightly shrill man's voice came to Bai Fanlu's ears.
"You kid, you really don't give up."
Flower thief? Hmph, just by hearing the voice, I knew there was enough kidney deficiency, and I thought it was such a powerful character.
Bai Fanlu hid in the dark, and heard the young man say loudly, "If I catch you today, I will give up."
"It's up to you?" The flower picker sneered, "Yesterday he showed mercy and let you go, but you rushed to deliver it to your door, okay, then I will let you go!"
He didn't pull out any weapon, and directly raised his hand to strike at the young man. Bai Fanlu felt a strange movement, and was shocked. He turned out to be a man of cultivation, not an ordinary person from the world.
The young man had a saber with him, and wanted to block it at this time, but was pushed to the side by a strong force from behind, Bai Fanlu forcefully received the energy from the opposite side, opened the wind shield, and a figure like a bright moon leaped high , he made a backhand with a sword, and the sword energy struck towards the face of the flower picker.
The flower picker also has some skills, and immediately sensed that the approacher was not kind, so he reacted very quickly, and retreated in a flash.
Although the change just now was weakened by the distance, I don't know if it is a demon or a fairy, but it is true that the person has a special spiritual power. Rao Bai Fanlu followed closely, and when he was out of place, he quickly took him away. lost.
I don't know how far out of the city, Baifan Road stopped and looked around.
Right now is a sparse forest, the moonlight is bright, and once the silver basin is hung, it is a bit brighter than when it was in the city.
Bai Fanlu sat down cross-legged, and decided to adjust his breath for a while, but he didn't dare to take it lightly. Although he closed his eyes, half of his spiritual consciousness was still observing the surrounding movement.
Sure enough, something was approaching...
He opened his eyes abruptly, and a white figure rushed into his field of vision, and quickly hid behind a bush not far away, revealing two big eyes, cowering, as if frightened by the murderous aura just now arrive.
It's the little white monkey Zhizhi.
"Great, great! Finally found you!"
The young man also ran after him. When he saw Bai Fanlu, he put his hands on his knees and panted. He simply sat down on the ground and waited for a long time before finally recovering.
"I'm exhausted!"
The young man sighed, and the little white monkey also jumped between his legs, panting on his stomach, there was a tacit understanding between one big monster and one small one.
Bai Fanlu silently withdrew his hand on the hilt of the sword, "What are you still chasing?"
"What are you doing? I'll help you!"
The young man took it for granted, and was still patting his chest to breathe, suddenly he laughed, "Yes, I was still worried about you, but just now I found out that you don't seem to need my help."
The sentence "I'm worried about you", uttered from the young man's mouth, was too straightforward and simple, which made Bai Fanlu stunned for a moment, not knowing how to answer it.
The young man is still analyzing himself, "No wonder the first time I saw you, I thought you were not an ordinary person. I just watched you fight with him..."
As he spoke, his eyes lit up, "Master, you are not a fairy, are you?"
Bai Fanlu was slightly startled, then smiled and shook his head, neither answering yes nor no.
"Wow! You must be a fairy!"
The young man seemed to have obtained some evidence. He was still sitting listlessly on the grass, but now he straightened up and looked at Bai Fanlu with brighter eyes.
"Immortal, are you a hundred years old this year?"
Bai Fanlu glanced at him, and half-truthfully said, "Yes, and no."
The original owner was four hundred and eighty-six years old, and he himself was twenty-six years old.
The boy's eyes became brighter when he heard this, as if he wanted to move the whole moon into his pupils, Bai Fanlu felt this feeling again, the boy in front of him looked more like a big moon than a small sun.
There is light, but not too hot.
Can dispel the shadows of the long night in the dark.
The young man didn't know what was going on in his heart, and said excitedly, "Then I'm only sixteen years old, much younger than you... I'll call you Brother Immortal from now on, okay? Brother Immortal!"
Immortal brother? Remembering that little beggar, Bai Fanlu couldn't help but smile, "You should call me Immortal Grandpa, maybe it's more appropriate."
"Grandpa? I don't want it. You are so beautiful. If I didn't know that you are over a hundred years old, I would have thought you were only a little older than me, or even about the same!"
The young man thought of something, and sat closer to Baifan Road, "By the way, Brother Immortal, can you be my master?"
He sat there with his hands propped up like that, and the expression on his face when he asked this question with a smile was like a Samoyed begging for food from his master. If he had a big fluffy tail behind him, it would be even more lifelike.
Bai Fanlu looked at him, then looked down at the little monkey on his lap, suppressed a smile, shook his head, "No."
"Why?"
"I haven't become a teacher yet, how can I accept apprentices?"
The point is, when the flower picker is caught, he should leave, and he just met the boy by chance, and he is not from this world, so it is better not to have anything to do with him in the future.
This is also the reason why Bai Fanlu never asked the boy's name.
"Then I will follow you, and when you become a teacher, accept me as an apprentice!"
"... Whatever you want." Bai Fanlu thought, if he could still follow him then.
"Hey! Then it's a deal!"
The boy didn't know whether he didn't realize that he was perfunctory or he took it seriously, but he spread his arms and lay on his back on the grass in excitement. The little white monkey was startled by him, jumped up and hid to the side.
It's just a joke, it's hard for him to be so happy.
Bai Fanlu didn't continue to adjust his breath anymore, he leaned slightly towards the tree trunk behind him, with the young man by his side, the tense feeling of facing the enemy subconsciously subsided a lot.
"Brother Immortal, I haven't asked you yet. What's your name?" The boy grabbed a foxtail and put it in his mouth, and the little monkey lay on his forehead and played with it.
Bai Fanlu thought for two seconds, "Lu Fan."
"Oh..." the boy frowned slightly.
Bai Fanlu thought that he probably felt that the name was not so fairy-like.
Who would have thought that the young man smiled and said, "My name is Xiao Liu!"
"Xiao... Six?" Bai Fanlu was stunned, didn't he have a surname
The young man seemed to see what he was thinking, "My parents died when I was born, but it is said that I am the sixth child in my family, so others call me 'Little Six'."
When the boy explained in this way, he was still smiling, as if he didn't know any sorrow at all.
But Bai Fanlu regained his disordered heartbeat, and seeing his smile again, his lips and teeth felt bitter, "... sorry."
"It's nothing! Brother Xianren doesn't need to apologize, look at me now, I'm fine!"
Bai Fanlu was at a loss for words for a moment, and his hands on his knees trembled unconsciously. He stared at the youthful face, and the feeling that was buried deep in his heart was finally stirred up.
It's not that I feel sorry for the poor life experience of the young man, there are many poorer people in this world than him, isn't that little beggar more distressing than him.
But his life experience overlaps too much with Bai Fanlu's memory. He is both the sixth child and is called "Little Six". Clear and bright light.
He finally realized where the strange sense of familiarity when he saw the boy for the first time came from.
Could it be that because he transmigrated into this world, he brought his own past with him
Bai Fanlu was not sure, because there was indeed no such character in the original book.
And with the current character design of this character, it seems that it is not so strong that it will have any impact on the big plot of exorcism and defense. It is simply a passerby who is more soy sauce than soy sauce.
So why was the boy in front of him born
Bai Fanlu moved his hands slightly, wanting to confirm whether this boy named "Xiao Liu" was an ordinary person.
But before his right hand touched the opponent, Xiao Liu suddenly turned sideways, turned to touch his waist, and took out a leather bag and water bottle.
Just running all the way, he was really thirsty, he raised his head and drank all the water soon.
Shake, shake, not a drop left.
"Brother Immortal, wait, I'll fetch some water."
Bai Fanlu nodded, and put his hands back on his knees without a trace.
"Do you want to drink? I'll get some more."
"I do not need."
Bai Fanlu observed him from a distance, and there was a river nearby. Xiao Liu squatted by the river to fetch water, then ran into the forest, ran out after a while, and returned to the river to wash something.
When he came back, he held more than a dozen crabapple fruits that looked fresh.
"The clothes may not be very clean, Brother Xianren, don't dislike him."
Xiao Liu used his coat to wrap the fruit. At this time, he spread the clothes on the ground, put the fruit carefully, and sat on the side scratching his head after finishing all this.
Bai Fanlu knew now that scratching his head was probably a conditioned reflex when the boy was shy and nervous.
In fact, you should be worried about whether it is poisonous, but seeing Xiao Liu's blushing appearance, Bai Fanlu still reached out and took one, and after making some judgments, he took a light bite under his expectant gaze.
Sweet and sour, juicy and tasty.
Xiao Liu also took one in each hand and ate it, Kachi Kachi was very exciting, and Zhizhi had already hugged three fruits in its arms, first stuffed two into his cheeks, then hugged the third and gnawed wildly.
Seeing its red cheeks that were bulging into balls and still moving, Bai Fanlu had guessed a long time ago that Xiaoliu changed the so-called "monkey stealing peaches" yesterday, and the peaches were hidden in the little monkey's mouth.
Seeing Bai Fanlu watching Zhizhi, Xiao Liu smiled and said, "I was raised from a young age, although I am very skinny, but I am smart."
Raised from a young age, the relationship should be unusual, no wonder it is so human. Bai Fanlu thought.
The crabapple fruit was not big, and a dozen or so were finished quickly. The last one, Xiaoliu, was still fighting with Zhizhi, but he just thought about it, and was picked up by the little monkey and took a bite first.
Seeing this, Bai Fanlu couldn't help smiling. Xiaoliu was playing with Zhizhi, but when he saw him laughing, he suddenly said, "I think you are different from the fairy I imagined."
"What's the difference?"
"Besides good looks, everything else is different."
Bai Fanlu smiled slightly, "Then do you still want to worship me?"
"Of course! I don't know about others, but I only like Brother Xianren like you."
Bai Fanlu really wanted to take a ruler and pat Xiao Liu's palm. He should be a serious crime for disrespecting his elders and molesting his teacher, although he didn't promise to be his master either.
"Can Zhizhi still find that flower picker?" Bai Fanlu changed the subject and got down to business.
"I guess it won't work again today, look, this little slow loris."
Xiao Liu pursed his mouth to the side, squeaked that he had enough to eat and drink, lay on the grass lying on his back with a big belly and fell asleep, blowing his nose while sleeping.
Bai Fanlu was secretly worried, he was still not prepared enough, and underestimated the enemy too much, he had to set up a barrier before making a move tomorrow to prevent people from escaping.
But after what happened today, will that thief show up easily
Do you want to think of a way to invite you into the urn
"Then what kind of women do flower pickers usually attack?"
"I don't know. Anyway, anyone who is beautiful is in danger."
"If there is a way, it would be great to roughly determine his next target," so that he can set up a net in advance, Bai Fanlu frowned and thought.
Xiao Liu stared at his earnest expression, and suddenly said, "If I were that flower picker, my next target would be determined now."
"Who?" Bai Fanlu cheered up.
Xiao Liu grinned, "You!"
