Creaking—slight gear turning sound, the wheelchair moved slowly, the man's hand gently stroked the ears of the white rabbit on his lap, and the crimson robe under the clean and spotless fur looked like new.
The white rabbit's obsidian-like eyes are looking around innocently.
There was noise from outside, and it seemed that many people were coming towards the house together.
The man hooked his lips and whispered to himself, "I finally got what I wanted... It's time to go."
Outside the city lord's mansion, Baifan Road saw the people rushing towards the mansion holding torches.
The ninety-eight people had already returned to their respective homes. They, their families, and the people in the city who harbored resentment towards Wei Lin all went together in groups to set fire to that ominous place, to put an end to this nightmare.
Bai Fanlu quietly left Yingzhou, reached an open place and activated the talisman, only to find that the blue bird had returned.
Yun Zhan's voice came from the spiritual consciousness, only telling him that he had received the message, but did not say anything else.
Although he didn't know what Yun Zhan was doing at this time and whether he would come to help, but now that the matter in Yingzhou had come to an end, he sent a message to Qingniao, telling him that he didn't need to come to Yingzhou again, and went directly to Lingcheng to meet up.
With the lessons learned from the past, for the sake of their own safety, it is safer to act together with Yun Zhan on the task of investigating the source of the magic energy.
Bai Fanlu thought about it, if the person who came was really Bai Junming, then he only took He Sang away but left himself in the City Lord's Mansion, he should have tacitly allowed him to stay as an undercover agent.
So Lingcheng has to go, and Lingcheng is not as strong as Yingzhou, and the opponent is stronger. To seal the magic rift, you must be strong. Danger.
And because of Biluo's failure to transform into a god, Yun Zhan's current strength is not as good as in the novel. Bai Fanlu wants to stay out of the matter, and it is unrealistic to point him to advance the main line alone.
"Who is Brother Xianren talking to?"
"My senior brother."
Bai Fanlu answered casually, raised his right hand, and the blue bird flapped its wings and flew away, turning into green smoke and disappearing into the sky.
Xiao Liu looked in that direction, "Then where are you going to go next?"
"I'm going to Lingcheng in the north to meet my junior brother, Xiaoliu, you..."
Having walked a distance outside the city, Bai Fanlu turned around. Now that his spiritual power has recovered, he can fly with his sword, and it is time to say goodbye to the young man in front of him.
But when he turned around and saw the other person's eyes, Bai Fanlu opened his mouth and just called out a name, but he couldn't say the following "All the feasts in the world will end forever".
"I want to go with Brother Xianren."
Sure enough... Bai Fanlu sighed, based on what he knew about Xiao Liu, if he was threatened by saying that it was dangerous over there and that he would not be implicated, the other party would only be more clingy, and that would only be a reason to pierce his heart.
"Lingcheng is farther than Yingzhou. If I walk with you, I will take a lot slower. My junior brother... um, he has a bad temper, so don't let him wait too long."
As Bai Fanlu said, the subtext is that taking you with me will hold me back. It is estimated that ordinary people will be discouraged when they hear this.
But Xiao Liu is not an ordinary person, especially when he heard Bai Fanlu say that his junior brother "has a bad temper", the brows of his brows trembled imperceptibly, his mouth pursed, showing an aggrieved expression.
"How does Brother Immortal know that your junior brother must be faster than you? He is not even there when you are in danger, so he may be busy with other things right now."
These words reminded Bai Fanlu that in fact, only four days have passed by his side. In such a short period of time, Yun Zhan may not be able to deal with the matter in Yufang City. In the novel, nephrite and Wenxiang spent more than half of it in that place. months.
If I arrived in Lingcheng early, in case something went wrong again, I would say that Lingcheng is the place where it is extremely cold. If I wait there, it is really not as comfortable as taking a slow tour of the mountains and rivers on the road.
And if you want to go sightseeing along the way, it is obvious that many traveling companions are a hundred times better than being alone, but Bai Fanlu is the only one who is worried, the more ties with him, the more Xiao Liu will be involved in the disputes between immortals and demons.
Bai Fanlu didn't reply to Xiaoliu for the time being, he wanted to wait for Jade Bird's summons to see how long it would take for Yun Zhan to arrive in Lingcheng.
Xiaoliu thought that Bai Fanlu's reticence was acquiescing to his trip, and his happiness was beyond words, and without saying a word, he immediately attracted snow after the mountain.
But Bai Fanlu didn't ride with him anymore, just like this, riding a horse and Yujian, the two of them walked for half an hour with their own thoughts, and stopped when they passed a village.
This is an unnamed small fishing village, located on the peninsula at the mouth of the Qingjiang River, surrounded by water depressions dotted all over the place, the residents all make a living by fishing, and have no other products. Most of the fish caught are dried and sold inland.
Bai Fanlu remembered that there was such a description in the original book about the unnamed fishing village. This village was famous for catching a stranded merman, and that merman was Hesang.
This fishing village is also too small, there is not even a decent inn inside, so Baifanlu and Xiaoliu had to stay outside again.
Taking advantage of the opportunity to rest, Bai Fanlu hugged Zhizhi. There was still a piece of violet spiritual power on his wrist. Bai Fanlu stroked the little monkey's fur and felt that there was nothing serious about it. , it is very listless.
Bai Fanlu thought it was because of some internal injury, but now it doesn't look like it.
Taking Cang Jin back, Bai Fanlu probed into the little monkey again, and suddenly found a very strange thing.
The golden divine light he had sensed before was gone! What he is holding now seems to be an ordinary little monkey.
Bai Fanlu thought about it carefully, Wei Lin's puppet tried to ingest his own soul and stuffed it into the monkey's body but failed, saying that it already had two souls in its body.
It seems that it refers to the divine light. It is not the divine power of the little monkey, but another soul, a very powerful soul.
Who is the one? Why did it suddenly disappear now? Will it be related to Bai Junming
"Brother Xianren, how about I grill fish for you?"
Bai Fanlu was thinking, when he heard Xiao Liu calling him, he loosened the seal on his hand and put Zhi Zhi down. It huddled up against Xiao Liu's bag on the ground, so lazy that it didn't even lift its eyelids.
Xiao Liu has already rolled up his trouser legs, walked into the shallow river beach, and was bending over to look for the target. Suddenly, a fish shadow circled his ankles. Xiao Liu's eyes were quick and his hands were quick. It was brought out with its tail.
"Haha! It's a big one! It's enough for two people!"
Hearing Xiao Liu's hearty laughter, Bai Fanlu couldn't help but smile slightly, as if the tense nerves of the day had really been relieved since this moment.
Bai Fanlu watched Xiao Liu come back carrying the fish, and thought to himself that this kid can do everything from hunting pheasants to catching river fish, it's really not easy.
Xiao Liu got closer, raised the fish above his head, and waved to Bai Fanlu. Now it was the setting sun, and the slanting sunlight made the boy's tall figure into a silhouette.
The face blurred in a trance, only the tip of the nose and the crystal drops of water on the two eyebrows refracted the sunlight, which was extraordinarily dazzling.
While Bai Fanlu was in a trance, Xiao Liu had already handled the fish, skillfully raised the fire, and grilled the harpoon on a long stick in front of the fire.
Bai Fanlu looked at it with great interest at first, but when the smell became more and more fragrant, he closed his eyes and didn't look at it.
After a while, he felt a hot aroma coming close to his mouth, mixed with the smell of burning. He opened his eyes, and the fish was handed to him.
"I... I won't eat." Bai Fanlu frowned.
Xiao Liu looked at the fish in his hand, showing a suddenly enlightened expression.
Then he brought the fish to his own mouth and blew carefully over the body and blew again and tried to get a piece of the skin off.
Then handed it to Bai Fanlu again, "It shouldn't be hot now, you eat first."
"..." Bai Fanlu couldn't speak, the eyes of the young Baba looking at him were too bright, making it hard to refuse.
Seeing that he still resisted, Xiao Liu was a little hurt, and asked softly, "Brother Xianren is afraid that it won't taste good?"
He lowered his head as he said that, his bright eyes dimmed instantly, and he was even more aggrieved by looking at it like this, "Although the appearance is a bit bad..."
"No, it's quite fragrant." Bai Fanlu said sincerely, "But I..."
In fact, he just disliked fish, because there was a man who got stuck in front of his eyes and almost failed to save him. After that, Bai Fanlu never ate fish again.
But he couldn't tell Xiao Liu the reason.
"Brother Xianren is afraid of eating fish, right?" Xiao Liu asked suddenly.
"... Do I look scared?" Bai Fanlu felt that this kind of micro-expression should not be seen through.
"Like." Xiao Liu seemed to think about it for a while, "This kind of fish has few bones. If you are afraid, I will help you pick it out. I am good at this!"
It's a pity that there are no bowls and chopsticks, and it's hard to operate if you want to pick. Bai Fanlu saw Xiao Liu's dilemma, afraid that he was really thinking of something, so he hurriedly stopped him, "It's okay, I will pick, I will do it myself."
"Really! Then try it!"
Xiao Liu was revived with full blood on the spot, and couldn't wait to urge him, his eyes were more than twice as bright as before, and he directly upgraded from the light of the firefly to the bright light of the moon.
Bai Fanlu thought, it's good to eat fish, as eating fish can nourish the brain, and the brain cells are almost exhausted after being here for a few days.
He had just made up his mind to take a bite when he opened his mouth. Xiao Liu suddenly took the fish back. Under Bai Fanlu's astonished gaze, he embarrassedly tore off the layer of scorched fish skin and explained, "The fish skin is mushy. It’s not delicious, you eat the meat inside, the meat is tender.”
This careful... Bai Fanlu, who had been taken care of continuously, silently bit off a piece of fish, and it was really tender.
The fish just fished up from the river is full of umami taste when it is freshly killed and grilled. The main thing is that, as Xiao Liu said, this fish has no small spines.
Bai Fanlu had just eaten two bites, and felt that there was an eager gaze staring at him all the time. His cheeks were slightly hot, and he handed the fish back, "I'm done eating."
"I only ate so much," Xiao Liu's face collapsed, "It still doesn't taste good."
"It's delicious," Bai Fanlu hurriedly said, "You eat too, let's go together."
"Then I'll eat a little, Brother Xianren will eat later." Xiao Liu seemed to be afraid that someone would trick him.
"good."
After getting an affirmative answer, Xiao Liu smiled happily, looked down at the fish in his hand, and took another sneak peek at Bai Fanlu.
The other party was not looking at this side, so he took another bite on the place where he had bitten on the fish, and his bright pupils flashed a hint of cunning.
After eating the fish, Xiao Liu asked Bai Fanlu what he thought, "It's not that scary, is it?"
Bai Fanlu smiled without saying a word, and nodded his head lightly.
Xiao Liu used a tree branch to push the burnt fire, "Actually, I was also afraid of eating fish when I was a child, because I was stuck by fishbone."
Bai Fanlu was startled, and turned his head to look at him. Usually, people who get stuck will leave psychological shadows to some extent. Why can't Xiao Liu notice it at all? Maybe it's not too serious
"That time I almost lost my life."
This sentence directly overturned Bai Fanlu's guess, but Xiao Liu said it lightly, but it was calm and breezy.
"Then you still dare to eat fish?"
"Dare!" Xiao Liu took it for granted, "But in fact, I didn't dare at first, and then my brother..."
"Your brother?" Xiao Liu has family members? Bai Fanlu thought he was alone all this time.
"Well, lost..." Xiao Liu said, using a tree branch to draw small characters in the ashes.
Bai Fanlu immediately didn't know what to say, but he looked at the young man's side face, his hair slightly blown by the sea breeze, and suddenly wanted to reach out and pat him on the shoulder, and when he thought about it, he had already done so.
The author has something to say: Bai Xiaolu: I have to be smarter by eating fish to replenish my brain.
Yungou Zhan: Why do you have to be so smart, anyway... stupid enough... (whispering bb Bai Xiaolu: What
Yungou Zhan: Already quite smart (qaq
