After the disappearance of that terrible monster, calm has returned to Kyoto. Pedestrians began to appear on the street one after another, and the night market returned to its usual bustle. Only the man disappeared into the air like a mist, and I never saw him again.
... originally thought so.
"Speaking of which, have you ever heard of that very powerful demon exorcist?"
Just one afternoon, the soldiers guarding the city gate were chatting with each other.
"What demon extermination master, when do you still care about this kind of thing?"
"There's been a lot of rumors recently, don't you know?" Another person asked in surprise.
"What what? What exorcist?"
"Oh, that, I seem to have heard of it." A certain soldier rubbed his chin and thought, "It seems that the demon beast that ate people before was blocked by the demon master."
"A monster that eats people? Didn't Your Majesty say that it's not a monster, but a natural or man-made disaster?"
"Your Majesty, you are serious about what you say. Of course, it is to stabilize people's hearts." The first soldier who raised this topic showed an excited expression, and whispered to the others, "There really are monsters in this Beijing city." of!"
"How do you know so clearly?" Another person said very disdainfully.
"I've seen it with my own eyes, the monster exorcist who sealed the monster!" He lowered his voice, deliberately creating a mysterious atmosphere.
"seriously."
"Really, that man is wearing a black robe and a pair of cloud shoes on his feet. He looks very handsome. I saw him yesterday, walking into the Forbidden City with a small bundle on his back!"
"In the Forbidden City?" Another soldier sighed immediately, "Could it be that the emperor invited him here..."
"That's not certain."
Black robe, a pair of cloud shoes... I immediately pricked up my ears, and approached silently.
Sure enough, you can't go wrong. The person these soldiers talked about is the exorcist who saved me that day!
"Then where is the very powerful monster exterminator you mentioned?" A soldier asked again, "Are there any monsters in Beijing now?"
"Yeah, that made my heart shudder."
"I don't know about this either. But I know a little maid in the palace. She told me that the demon master left the Forbidden City early this morning, and she doesn't know where he went. I only know that the demon master's surname is Wen, he is very mysterious, even today's majesty can't figure out his mind. He also does what he wants to get rid of demons. Some monsters, even if they give him ten thousand taels of gold, he ignores them; If you don’t accept it, you will rush to destroy it.”
"Well, that's why we vulgar people can't figure out what these saints are thinking."
"That's right, don't worry about it."
After a while, the soldiers changed the subject and began to talk about some trivial matters. And I left disappointed.
Surnamed Wen. It turns out his surname is Wen.
In this way... It should be good to call him Mr. Wen.
That's when I made up my mind. Even if it is to repay my kindness, I have to find this Mr. Wen, and it would be better to thank him face to face.
Suddenly, my long centuries of time suddenly made sense. That's right, anyway, I still have a long, long time. Those Mr. Wen that humans can't find, I will definitely find him.
In the end, I don't know how long it took. The human capital was destroyed, foreign enemies attacked, and their dynasty was also destroyed. Afterwards, various uprisings, marches, and protests continued to occur, and new people continued to come forward, trying to save their precarious country.
However, these have nothing to do with me. There is only one reason for my existence, and that is to find Mr. Wen.
Finally, on a warm evening, I came to a small southern city. There are no people in this small town, only some quiet villages and villagers, and continuous mountain peaks.
Everywhere in the small town reveals leisure and ease, that's when I'm sure. Mr. Wen must be in this small town.
I felt the beating of the heart that no longer existed in my chest.
Yes, to see him. I actually found him.
Oops, after all this time, will I change
Will he change? Will I not recognize him? No, no, will he not recognize me
Will he still be the same? Will the face still be that handsome
Will he dislike me for being ugly? No, no, after all, on that day... on that day, he saved me from the monster's mouth.
Under that frosty face, there must be a warm heart hidden.
In the evening, I found an old house in that small town. The old house looks very old, with heavy wooden doors, thick locust trees, and the fragrance of the garden overflowing the courtyard.
I quietly climbed up the wall and peeked inside through the branches. I was so nervous that my expression was unnatural. If I still had breathing and heartache, I would definitely be beating like a drum in my chest at this time.
see! It's him!
That man—Mr. Wen was standing in the courtyard, holding a bound book in his hand, reading quietly in the shade of the locust tree.
After such a long time, he really hasn't changed at all!
Those obsidian-like eyes, slightly curved red lips, fair and handsome cheeks, and even the way his long hair was blown by the breeze—all remained unchanged.
He still looks like that unparalleled son.
Obviously, I have thought about hundreds of thousands of times before, what to say after meeting. After I really met, I only dared to hide quietly among the branches, unable to say even half a word.
By the way, the same thing that hasn't changed is the man's expression.
He stood there, obviously such a beautiful and happy scene, but his expression was so... lonely.
There is obviously no sadness or pain on his face, but it is that kind of indifferent calm, which makes people feel very heartbroken when they look at it.
Was he waiting for someone? A thought popped into my mind suddenly.
From then to now, could it be said that he has been waiting for someone
"Today's sunshine is very good."
Suddenly, he spoke! I was startled and almost fell off the branch. But thinking about it carefully, he should be talking to himself.
"Not talking to himself." Mr. Wen showed a soft smile, put down the scroll in his hand, and looked in my direction, "What do you think of the weather?"
This time, I completely panicked.
He is talking to me. No, when did he find me
Ah, by the way... It was the same last time. I originally wanted to go around behind him to scare him, but unexpectedly, he spotted it at a glance.
"I, I, that... I, I don't know."
