Although the boy escaped very quickly, he was quickly caught up by Nan He.
Just as Nan He's hand was about to grab onto his shoulder, a palm protruded from the side and intercepted Nan He's hand.
The visitor was a young human man. He and Nan He were facing each other with fists. They each bounced a few steps away, rubbed their bodies again, and quickly collided with each other.
By the time Yuan Xianger and the others arrived, the men who suddenly appeared from Nan Hetong had already made fists and feet, and it took about ten strokes.
Yuan Xianger stopped and took a closer look. The person fighting against Nan He was a human, dressed in shabby clothes, with sharp eyes, messy temples scratching at the back of his head, and a striking scar on his left eye.
Yuan Xianger is still very familiar with Nan He's fighting mode. After she can find Nan He's position with the apostle contract, she often follows to peek inside Tianlang Mountain, knowing that she fights against her soft Nan He on weekdays, but she always ignores it. Recklessly cruel. Perhaps he grew up in a dangerous environment and trained his arrogance as a child. His battles were often ruthless towards the enemy, and he never cared much for himself.
Many times, the enemy was frightened by his desperate style of play, and then retreated and escaped directly with his tail between his tails.
But the human-like man in front of him seemed to be on the same level as Nan He.
The two of them collided with each other, each of which was a killer move. After thumping a fist, the man backed up more than ten steps. He fell to the ground to release his inertia, stretched out his hand to wipe the bloodshot from the corner of his mouth, stomped his feet, and rushed towards Nanhe again.
"Is this also a human?" Wu Yuan hesitated for a while, "No no no, I can see that he is not a pure human, and he is mixed with the blood of a demon."
"You dare to challenge my brother Nan when you steal something, and watch me scratch his face." Wu Yuan wanted to jump down and join in the fun.
Yuan Xianger quickly grabbed the back of the kitten's neck, "He doesn't look like Nan He's opponent, we'll just watch it."
"A half-demon, who can compete with Nan He in melee combat. It's very powerful." Hu Qing also stopped and stood beside Yuan Xiang'er to watch the battle.
Yuan Xianger didn't know enough about the battle between demons: "Is this very powerful?"
"Xiao Nan's melee combat is very powerful." Du Shuo watched the battle with his hands in his sleeves. "Let's put aside the spells. If we only talk about melee combat, even I have no confidence in Shang Nanhe."
The battle looked fierce, but Nan He obviously hadn't done his best, so everyone just stood by and watched the battle and didn't plan to help.
But the next moment, the situation turned sharply, just as Nan He knocked down the man and was ready to take the lock. The man who fell on the ground raised his head, a green glow appeared in his eyes, and the air became moist at that moment, as if everything began to stretch, and the surrounding branches of the white pole swayed gently, making a glass-like collision sound, Countless plant vines squirmed wildly on the ground, and quickly wrapped around Nan He's legs and body, restricting his movement. Layers of plants covered him, desperately trying to tie Nan He.
"Ajun, run."
While the man was trapping Nan He, he stopped fighting, he said hello and resolutely started to run away.
"It's not that easy to run." Du Shuo chuckled lightly, stretched out a finger, and pointed forward.
The man who was running seemed to be pressed by some invisible force in the air. He fell from the air, rolled around on the ground, but quickly turned over and continued to run deep into the jungle.
But it was such a momentary delay that he had lost the opportunity to escape. An angry wolf howl sounded, and a huge silver Sirius appeared among the broken and scattered vines in the sky. The fierce Sirius shook his temples, jumped out, opened his mouth and bit the enemy who was trying to escape.
"No, don't hurt my brother."
The little boy who stole Yuan Xiang'er's purse ran out of the Bai Penny woods.
"I'll give you the things back, don't hurt my brother." He wore the skeleton of a demon on his head and a beast skin behind him. He flew out of the jungle like a little monster, holding Yuan Xianger high with both hands. purse.
"Bastard, Ajun, run first, they are demons, run!" The elder brother who was bitten by Nan He struggled and stretched out his arm from Nan He's mouth. He tried to resist Nan He regardless of the injury, and stopped his brother's death. .
The little boy named A Jun had already rushed to Nan He regardless. Under the huge size of Sirius, his small body looked very thin, but he still threw himself at the foot of Nanhe, buried his head in the soil, raised his trembling hands above his head, and held the purse.
"Give it back to you, my lord, forgive me once, I beg you."
Nan He narrowed his slender eyes and looked at him for a moment, then spit out his injured brother on the ground, turning it into a human figure, reaching out to take his purse and handing it to Yuan Xianger.
Yuan Xianger opened her purse and saw that the talismans were neat and tidy, but the few sweet-scented osmanthus candies in the purse were missing. She glanced at the little boy who stole her things and said nothing.
At the age of six or seven years old, this boy was in the market. He was very pleasing when it was time to be pleasing. It must be difficult for a child who can be so mature at this age. Although she doesn't like it very much, she doesn't plan to mention a few candies.
The elder brother who was helped by A Jun seemed to see something from Yuan Xianger's subtle expression.
"What do you still owe?" he asked in a low voice, trying to support his younger brother Shi Jun.
Shi Jun lowered his head, reached out and touched his pocket for a long time, his dirty palms were spread out, and in his palms was a sweet-scented osmanthus candy carefully wrapped in candy paper.
"Yes, I'm sorry. I ate all of them, but this one was left for my brother." He pitifully apologized to his brother.
His brother looked at him for a while, then turned around and took out a piece of unremarkable Lingyu,
"We use this as a counter," he said.
After all, Shi Jun was still young, so he shouted, "But brother, this is what you got by fighting hard to win the game."
He pursed his lips, tears quickly filling his eyes.
After my father passed away, the family owed a lot of money, and life was not easy. Although brother Shifu is very powerful, he is not willing to mix some quick money in the market to pay off debts like him. It is very difficult to earn each piece of Lingyu. But every time he stole something, if his brother found out, Shifu would always give him a hard lesson. In the past, Shi Jun didn't quite understand it, but until today, when his brother almost lost his life and paid a heavy price, he was a little scared.
Shi Fu didn't look at him, just looked at Yuan Xianger,
This is the spiritual world, with abundant spiritual energy. Lingyu, which is not very conspicuous, is not very valuable, but a few candies are always more than enough.
"No, it's just a few candies, take them back." Yuan Xiang'er said.
Shi Fu grabbed the hand of his younger brother who wanted to go forward to take Lingyu back, watched Nan He and Du Shuo slowly retreat with vigilance, and finally pulled his younger brother to turn around and hide into the depths of Bai Penny Forest.
After the two brothers were far away, Nan He looked at the vast white forest and said, "It seems that there may be a village inhabited by humans nearby."
After the separation of the spiritual world, a small number of human beings were left in this world due to general reasons. The penny tree here is delicious and easy to satisfy for human beings. Humans who stay in the world like to live in groups near the penny forest. It is said that the forest of white penny trees will give birth to tree gods, guarding the people living around.
"Really? Will you meet humans?" Yuan Xiang'er was looking forward to it.
They have been in this world of demons for some time, and they have been seeing all kinds of strange creatures, which made her feel homesick. It is possible to meet some of her own companions, which makes Yuan Xianger very happy.
Sure enough, after passing through the White Penny Forest, a canyon of red rocks appeared.
The narrow valley road is flanked by mirror-like red stone walls. Walking through the canyon, you can clearly see the reflection of the pedestrian on the stone wall.
Yuan Xiang'er looked sideways, her appearance was the same as in reality, but Nan He walking beside her was clearly a humanoid, but what appeared in the stone wall was a majestic Sirius, and behind Nan He was an elegant figure. Mino Yuhe, walking slowly with long legs.
Hu Qing, who looked like a fox, followed Minyu Crane with nine long tails behind her.
Wu Yuanzheng, who was squatting on Yuan Xiang'er's shoulder, spoke in a milky voice, as if she was cuter and younger than his transformed appearance.
"Impossible, I'm not so young." Wu Yuan said unhappily. He tried hard to make his appearance more mature and majestic, but the image on the stone wall remained unchanged.
"This is called the red blood stone. The stone wall made of the red blood stone can naturally reflect the original appearance of the soul, and any spell changes will have no effect in front of it." Hu Qing explained to Yuan Xiang'er, "Unfortunately, the stone after cutting is not Lost this peculiar effect, so I can only see it on the spot, and it is not very useful."
As Hu Qing spoke, he quietly looked at the stone wall. With his slender forelegs, he touched his pointed cheeks.
Your original shape is pretty neat, right? His hair is also very clean and shiny, so he shouldn't be embarrassed in front of Dushuo-sama, right
Yuan Xiang'er was looking at the scene in the mirror with a novel look, and reached out to touch Nan He's silver hair scattered behind her.
"Our Nanhe's hair is so beautiful. It shines like stars, and it looks the same inside and outside the mirror. Our Wuyuan is also so cute. It's even cuter than the real appearance."
I really hope Lord Du Shuo can touch my head like A Xiang. The nine-tailed fox curled its nine long fluffy tails, thinking jealously.
He walked out of the canyon very quickly, and his eyes suddenly brightened. To Yuan Xianger's surprise, the canyon was a small town that was very different from the human world outside.
There are neat and uniform roads in the town surrounded by mountains on all sides. The houses built on the side of the road are strange and eccentric, with roof ridges made of demon bones, windows made of special colored films, and roofs made of huge shells. roof.
The human beings walking on the streets are all handsome and well-proportioned, and the clothes they wear are vaguely the styles recorded in books hundreds of years ago.
Rune spells seem to be widely used here. The vehicles walking on the street are not drawn by horses, but are drawn with precise spells on the wheels, inlaid with spiritual jade, rolling forward on their own.
The lanterns hanging under the eaves are not lit with candles, but are planted with plants that can absorb the aura of heaven and earth.
There are all kinds of peculiar demon masks for sale in the small shops on the street. The skull on the head of the little boy Shi Jun I met before turned out to be just a common style here.
All in all, the human beings who have lived in the real world where monsters are gathered for hundreds of years seem to have a very different life from the floating world.
Pedestrians on the road saw Yuan Xianger and his party appear, and they all showed a rare and curious look.
They looked at Yuan Xiang'er and her shadow reflected on the stone wall from a distance, and chatted with each other, but for a while, no one seemed to want to approach the huge red stone wall at the intersection.
After a while, a graceful, enchanting and beautiful young lady separated from the crowd and approached cautiously to say hello,
"The girl doesn't look like a local? I don't know where Xianxiang is?" The lady was full of smiles, warm and kind, with a hint of scrutiny and curiosity.
Yuan Xianger blinked her eyes and couldn't help looking back and forth at the stone wall several times. The beautiful, slender lady who appeared in front of her had a very short and fat shadow on the stone wall, and there were still pieces of different colors on her face The markings of her are really very different from the image she appeared in front of Yuan Xianger. So much so that Yuan Xiang'er was distracted and could hardly keep up with her words.
"Ah, I came from the floating world." She managed to suppress her surprise without appearing too rude.
Hearing this sentence, the crowd coaxed and became lively,
"Humans from the floating world? It's been hundreds of years who haven't heard of people from the floating world coming here, right?"
"It's a pure breed of the same family. It's very rare. It doesn't use spells to change its appearance at all. It's exactly the same as the shadow on Chiyan."
"A girl from the floating world, is she naturally so beautiful?"
"She's also carrying the demon's apostle. It's amazing."
People gathered around one by one, talking nonsense. The people here seemed to be more rare about their companions from the floating world than the demons like Nanhe, and they even enthusiastically began to invite Yuan Xianger to be a guest at their home.
"It's rare to have guests from the floating world. The little lady went to my house to rest. My house is brewed with good deer tire wine, just to entertain guests."
"Let's go to my house. My house is equipped with magic tools for heating. It is like spring in a room, and you can rest well."
"Don't fight with me. My family yard is bigger. You can drink tea and enjoy the snow. It's best to go to my house."
Yuan Xianger was a little overwhelmed.
Everyone in front of him can be regarded as handsome and extraordinary from the outside world.
But it is very different from their reflection on the stone mirror. Obviously, it is very popular to use magic to change the appearance and shape.
In the chaos. A group of brightly dressed servants cleared the way to separate the crowd, only to see the chariot of incense sticks with a canopy cover and a red wheel with a canopy cover.
The handsome servant lifted the curtain of the car and helped a gentleman who was as elegant as jade.
"The county governor is here."
"I have seen the county governor."
"Little lady, this is the county governor who guards our side of the world."
The onlookers saluted and introduced Yuan Xianger to the manager of their small piece of land.
This young, beautiful, and pompous county governor got out of the car and crossed the crowd surrounded by his attendants. He first looked up at the shadow on the stone wall, and nodded happily.
But he himself was very careful not to be exposed in the range reflected by the stone wall.
"It's useless to hide so far, don't look at his human-like appearance, in fact, he is short and fat, with pimples all over his face." Wu Yuan quietly told Yuan Xiang'er the picture in his eyes, stuck out his tongue, "Yes The ugliest one here."
"The guests have come from afar, and the locals have not received people from the floating world for hundreds of years. Treat them as VIPs, and invite the VIPs to accompany me to the county governor's mansion to rest."
The handsome and young county governor invited him with a smile.
Yuan Xianger wanted to decline, but the county governor had already summoned a soft sedan car, and the group, together with the people along the way, enthusiastically surrounded Yuan Xianger and others to the county governor's mansion.
The land in the canyon is only the size of an ordinary village in the floating world, and the number of residents is not large at first glance, but because it is a lost world, the local official has given himself a high position like the county governor, and built his momentum. Extraordinary Sheriff's Office.
The majestic mansion built with large blocks of red stone is the most beautiful building in the whole town. In the center, a tall white pole tree grows out of the courtyard. Under the tree, there is an incense burner for a table, and colorful banners for prayer are hung on the tree. Very conspicuous.
The county magistrate personally welcomed Yuan Xianger all the way into the mansion, and hosted a banquet under the White Penny Tree.
"My surname is Lu, and the head of the family is a close official of the Zhou royal family. The girl came from the floating world. I don't know what the current situation is in the world. Do you know whether the blood of my family in the floating world is still safe?" situation.
"It's not the Zhou Dynasty anymore. After the Zhou Dynasty, the dynasties have been changed several times. The Lu family is still a big family, and it occupies the northeast area."
When Lu Junshou heard that the world has changed for a long time, he couldn't help but sigh.
With a silk scarf and a picturesque face, the picturesque young master Shijia bowed his head and sighed for the lost homeland. If Wu Yuan kept secretly brainwashing Yuan Xianger with the apostle contract, Yuan Xianger would have been almost blinded by his appearance.
(I can see that he has a bit of lizard ancestry. You can see that his forked tongue is sticking out. I don't like lizards, even half human and half lizard.) Wu Yuan said in Yuan Xiang'er's mind.
Yuan Xianger's cold hair stood tall. She was more afraid of such cold-blooded animals, and she had goose bumps on her back.
"Are all of you here your apostles? The girl is really amazing. She can use demons as her apostles, so it's no wonder that she can come here alone."
"They're all my friends. It's really thanks to their help that I got here safely."
Lv Junshou is not as afraid of demons as humans in the floating world. He even toasted a glass of wine to Nanhe and Dushuo.
But Nanhe Dushuo and the others were very indifferent to him, so he had no choice but to raise his glass in awe, and did not dare to provoke him again. They seemed to fully understand the power of the demon and the character of the demon.
"I read from ancient books that all human beings in the floating world are purebreds, and are they unwilling to go to work in a demon house?" Fu Xiu, the governor of Lu Jun, added wine to Yuan Xiang'er.
(Half the skin on his hands is scaly and sticky. Ah, I don't want to drink the wine he poured.) Wu Yuan continued to complain.
"Yes. Most people in the floating world are afraid of demons, or they rarely come into contact with demons." Yuan Xiang'er, listening to Wu Yuan's complaints in her head, put on a smile to socialize with Jun Shou Lu, feeling very bitter.
"Is that so? It's a pity, the pure-bred human beings here work in the monster's lair, and the income is very high, and the benefits are also very good. The people in our town can get a lot of gold whenever they find a good owner. Lingyu, there is still a fixed rest day every month." Jun Shou Lu seemed to introduce the situation here casually, and gently raised his beautiful eyes to look at Yuan Xiang'er.
"It sounds like it's really good." Yuan Xianger didn't think it was good. No matter how good the treatment was for her, she was not very willing to become a pet adopted by others.
"The ancient books record the life of the floating world, which is very different from mine, which is very curious. I heard that your lanterns use open flames, so won't they burn?"
"It seems that there are no white poles in the floating world. There is always not enough food to eat. Will the people starve to death because of the shortage of food?"
Lu Junshou was very curious about the floating world and asked a lot of questions. The beautiful and huge white pole branches in the courtyard swayed in the wind, and there was a small sound like a dream.
Yuan Xianger looked up at the beautiful white branches like snow and ice, "This kind of tree is indeed very magical. With its existence, human life is much more convenient, why is there no floating world?"
"This white penny is the patron saint of our Chishi Town. What she gives us humans is not just food."
The young county magistrate sat under the tree, folded his hands reverently, and worshipped the giant tree in the courtyard.
After he prayed, he turned around and said, "If you have lived in our Chishi Town for a long time, you will be as grateful for the gift of God Bai Penny as I do."
The white branches in the sky swayed gently, making a crisp sound, as if responding to what he said.
After being isolated for hundreds of years, even if they were once the same ancestors, the lives of the human beings in the floating world and the human beings here seem to have changed a lot.
Lv Junshou and Yuan Xianger talked with each other for a long time, and they were amazed at the incredibleness of each other's world. The delicious food, mellow wine, and dreamlike scenery here made the guests and hosts at the banquet very happy.
"In this way, life in the floating world is not as good as this." At the end of the banquet, Jun Shou Lu raised a glass and saluted, "Would Ah Xiang be willing to settle here
Yuan Xiang'er felt a little drunk, and waved her sleeves to decline, "Everyone has a hometown plot. In my mind, the world is beautiful and mysterious, but in the floating world, humans are still more free. After I finish my work, I will definitely go back."
The young county magistrate sat under the shadow of the white pole's branches, the shade of the tree obscured his handsome appearance, and his voice was not heard for a long time.
In the early morning of the second day, Yuan Xianger resolutely resigned and left, and the Lu Junshou did not insist too much on keeping him, but drove Yuan Xianger out of the canyon in person, which made Yuan Xianger very relieved.
When leaving the canyon, Yuan Xianger saw Shifu and Shijun brothers in the crowded crowd on the street, but Shifu just glanced at the frame where she was, turned her head and disappeared into the crowd to leave.
Yuan Xianger went outside the canyon, and politely said goodbye to the people who came to see them off. Lu Jun raised the curtain of the car, got out of the car, spread his sleeves and saluted,
"I think we still have a chance to meet again." He said with a smile.
Leaving the town of Chishi where humans live, the road has become more and more desolate, except for the occasional monster that haunts the forest, there is nothing else to do.
The mountains and forests were very cold at night, Yuan Xianger slept with Nan He's warm body as usual.
"Xiao Nan, although there are humans here, I think they are a little bit different from me." She was trapped in her soft hair, looking at the stars in the night sky, "It seems a bit lonely thinking about it this way."
"And I'm with you."
"Haha, yes, I still have Xiao Nan." Yuan Xiang'er turned over and hugged Nan He's big fluffy tail.
"Xiao Nan, do you like the floating world or the inner world?"
"Floating World."
"Why Ukiyo?"
"Because I met you there."
Yuan Xianger laughed, she fell asleep in the warm hair in the silent cold night, in the starry sky.
"Axiang, Axiang." She faintly heard someone calling her. Yuan Xianger opened her eyes and saw a big tree with a purple-red trunk and snow-white soft branches not far away.
The thick roots under the trees protruded above the ground, and Nan He lay prone on those roots, looking up to call to her.
"What's wrong? Nanhe?" Yuan Xiang'er hurried forward, the air seemed to be filled with a strange sweet fragrance.
"Ah Xiang, please help me." The man's long silver hair poured out, and in a position that was not suitable to keep his eyes on, a fluffy tail appeared and swayed gently in front of Yuan Xiang'er's gaze.
"How... how can I help?" Yuan Xiang'er felt her throat dry.
"You know, you always like to bully me like this." Nan He propped up his upper body and whispered, "What can I do, who told me that I just like you."
"Ah Xiang, come here quickly."
Yuan Xianger suddenly opened her eyes and woke up from the dream with red face and red ears, only to feel her heart pounding, as if she had forgotten something.
There is no penny tree at all, and there is no beautiful picture under the tree. Nan He curled up beside her, closed his eyes, and slept soundly. He vaguely sensed Yuan Xiang'er's movement, and covered the big tail of the infinite spring in his dream, and tightly covered Yuan Xiang'er to prevent her from falling. Chill and wind.
Yuan Xiang'er hid in the warm hair and covered her red face, knowing that she was greedy for Nan He's body, was she already so vulgar that she could have some kind of dream for no reason
