The demon emperor doesn't want to be a white lotus

Chapter 26

Dong Zheng led You Miao and Xing Ji outside the village, he sat on the ground with lingering fear, lowered his head and said sadly: "I don't like this place."

You Miao looked back at Tonghua Village, a small village with dozens of families living there.The square-like small courtyards are densely crowded on a small piece of land, surrounded by mountains and trees, with birds singing, flowers fragrant and flowing water flowing, just like the peach blossom garden described in the book.

He rubbed Dong Zheng's head, "Why don't you like it?"

Dong Zheng sat on the ground with his knees bent, and said in a low voice, "Because people here don't like us."

You Miao: "Us?"

Dong Zheng: "Our family, grandparents, my father, my mother, my uncle, and me."

Children are sensitive and can clearly perceive other people's malice. The Dong family is almost a laughingstock in Tonghua Village. The villagers don't like their family, and he doesn't like this village either.

You Miao didn't know how to comfort her. Everyone has to experience some unpleasant things in their life, which cannot be resolved by outsiders. "If you really don't like it, you can tell the adults at home. There is not only one Tonghua village, you can move out."

Dong Zheng shook his head, very disappointed: "Grandpa won't agree."

You Miao didn't know the inside story and couldn't draw conclusions at will, and decided that if Old Dong didn't mind, he could ask him for details after returning. If their family really encountered any difficulties, they might be able to help.

The most important thing now is to make Dong Zheng happy, so he took two steps forward, "Didn't you volunteer to lead the way? Sitting on the ground like this, could it be that you are going to let the two of us go around?"

"No, no, I'll get up right now!" Dong Zheng was a little flustered, stood up with his arms propped on the ground, and ran to You Miao's side to hold his hand, "I promise to take you with me. I won't break my promise."

As he spoke, he glanced timidly at Xing Ji, "My father said that liars would be eaten by monsters."

Xing Ji: "..."

Come on, why are you still looking at him?Does he look like a monster?

You Miao laughed out loud when she saw this, and stopped laughing when Xing Ji looked over, "There are so many paulownia trees here, do you still remember which tree you, sister in red, is talking about?"

When it came to business, Dong Zheng became serious. There was not much information revealed in You Jiu's words. At that time, Dong Zheng was far away, so he only heard the general idea and had only a little impression, "It seems that there is some imprint."

He dragged You Miao into the tung forest outside the village. He couldn't remember the imprint clearly, and he couldn't describe it. Only when he saw it with his own eyes, could he confirm whether it was true or not.

Xing Ji took a big step and quickly caught up with You Miao, shoulder to shoulder.

In spring, there will be many flowers on the tung tree. The purple tung flowers hang on the branches in clusters, and the dense ground is very beautiful.

Breathing in the rich fragrance of flowers in the forest, You Miao tilted her head and whispered in Xing Ji's ear, "When I was surrounded by people in the village, I couldn't seem to use my demon power."

He wasn't sure about this matter, but he failed to avoid the crowd. The use of this superficial cultivation had almost been integrated into his every move. It stands to reason that one defeat can't prove anything.

Behaviors as common as breathing can be easily overlooked, even if something does go wrong sometimes.

Xing Ji suddenly remembered that when he first arrived at Dong's house, Dong Zheng suddenly came back from outside and bumped into You Miao. At that time, the two of them were standing in the yard, and neither of them noticed the approaching aura.

This kind of thing is very abnormal, the two of them, there is no reason why even a child can't find out.

Xing Ji stepped on the fallen leaves piled up on the ground, making a "creaking" sound. Some leaf tips were still a little green, but most of them had decayed and melted into the soil.

He raised his head, and the overwhelming purple tung flowers formed an endless sea of ​​flowers. Looking at the sky from the gap between the flowers and leaves, it made people feel dizzy for no reason, "It doesn't seem like, there is something really wrong."

You Miao: "What?"

Xing Ji turned his head to look at him with a serious expression, "There is a formation here, but I can't figure out what it is. But no matter what it is, one thing is certain, here, we may become ordinary people."

You Miao looked at a loss, "A formation that can eliminate cultivation? Could it be that the longer we stay here, the less powerful we are?"

Xing Ji was also very confused, but he felt it again and found that it didn't look like it, "It's not like this... How can I explain it? That is, imagine that when you fall into this formation, your cultivation base is only Being shielded from the outside, that is to say, we are now similar to most of the human races here, but as long as we leave here, we can still return to our original appearance."

You Miao tried to mobilize her body's monster power, "Shielding cultivation? But I don't feel it at all."

Xing Ji felt a headache, "It's an illusion, time and space are intertwined, we and people like Tonghua Village don't belong to the same time period."

You Miao raised the hand held by Dong Zheng, "Then what's going on?"

He can talk to Dong's family members, and he can also touch Dong Zheng. If it is really an illusion, it is too realistic.

Xing Ji couldn't tell, he wasn't proficient in match play, he only had a rough idea, "I'll go back and look it up."

"Um".You Miao didn't ask any more questions, but when she looked at the tung forest in front of her again, she was still cautious, and she was wary of You Jiu trying to set them up here.

The wood of the tung tree is not compact, and it is not a valuable tree species, but it grows fast, so many people will still plant it, but it will not be like Tonghua Village, which is full of miles around.

You Miao thought of the name of the village, Tonghua Village, but he didn't know whether it was because of this name that he started planting tung trees, or because of the abundance of tung trees.

In short, no matter what the reason is, it is not that simple here.

Thinking of this, You Miao suddenly stopped, a blurry scene flashed in his mind, he turned his head and looked in one direction, he seemed to feel something just now.

Xing Ji followed his gaze, "What's wrong?"

You Miao turned around and walked over there, "There, let's go and have a look."

He has been thinking about the relationship between Tonghua Village and Youjiu just now. Tonghua Village is not far from Senqiu, but it is only a small mountain village. With Youjiu's temperament, he would never notice such a place, so he will definitely not miss it. Bring them here for no reason.

Relying on the flash of inspiration, You Miao stopped beside a tung tree.

This tung tree looked no different from other tung trees in the forest. You Miao walked around and found a place at the bottom of the trunk that was slightly lighter in color, which looked like a handprint, a child's handprint.

Just when he stretched out his hand to touch the fingerprint, a strong wind suddenly blew up in the tung tree forest, mixed with moisture, and the leaves rustled.

Dong Zheng was so blown by the wind that he couldn't open his eyes. He looked up at the sky, and the dark clouds gathered at some point, and he could faintly see lightning running like a dragon swimming among them.

"It's going to rain!" he reminded them both.

Xing Ji tried to use his spiritual power to block the increasingly manic wind, but to no avail. At the same time, it began to rain heavily, hitting people, bringing the icy cold that hadn't subsided in mid-spring.

You Miao's hair and clothes were quickly wet, he wiped the rainwater off his face, his eyes were steaming, this was the first time he was exposed to rain since he became the Demon Emperor.

Stretching out his hand to feel the cold rain dripping from his palm, he threw off his robe to cover Dong Zheng, and said to Xing Ji, "Let's go back."

When they ran to the entrance of the village in the rain, they ran into Old Dong who was looking for someone, "You didn't bring an umbrella, I'll come out to pick you up."

You Miao took the oil-paper umbrella that Old Dong handed over, opened it, and her wet hair stuck to the sides of her cheeks, making him very uncomfortable, "Thank you."

"Young Master You are too polite." Old Dong pulled his grandson under his umbrella, "It's easy to catch cold in the rain, so go back and change."

clothing·······

You Miao and Xing Ji looked at each other, they didn't seem to have any extra clothes.

Back at Dong's house, Old Dong dug out some clean clothes from his two sons, "Coarse linen clothes, put them on first."

You Miao hesitated for a moment, but Xing Ji on the side moved quickly, and took it before Old Dong handed it to You Miao, "I'm sorry."

When Old Dong left, Xing Ji took the clothes and stuffed them into You Miao's arms, "Come on, we can't dry the wet clothes just by raising our hands."

"I don't, I don't need it, sneeze!" You Miao's nose soured, and she sneezed suddenly, and she froze all of a sudden.

"・・・"

Xing Ji smiled ninja, turned his head and took off his soaked robe by himself.

You Miao watched for a long while, rubbed her nose with a depressed face, turned around and changed her clothes.

Looking back, I found that Xing Ji had changed his clothes at some point, and was leaning against the pillar with his arms crossed and looking at him.You Miao paused as he buttoned his buttons, and he narrowed his eyes, "When did you turn your head around?"

Xing Ji's expression was dangerous, "Just now." It was obviously unbelievable.

"······", You Miao said lightly, lowered her head and straightened the corner of her clothes, and there was no other reaction.

Xing Ji's expression didn't last long, when he heard someone coming from outside, he walked over to open the door helplessly.

Outside the door, Dong Zheng raised his head, still maintaining the posture of knocking on the door, "Grandpa asked me to call you to eat."

"Okay, we'll go right away." Xing Ji rubbed Dong Zheng's head, turned his head, and found that You Miao had come behind him.

"Let's go and eat." You Miao said.

At the dinner table, the Dong family was much more natural than at noon, at least they were no longer so reserved when facing the two of them.

Among them, Dong Zheng's changes are the most obvious. His love for You Miao is almost written on his face. Even when eating, he has to sit next to You Miao. Come look.

"Young Master You, try this." Mother Dong pushed a plate of fish in front of You Miao, smiling all over her face, "I made the sauce by myself. It's a unique secret recipe that no one else knows about!"

The color of the fish is bright, and it is covered with sauce-yellow soup. You can smell the strong aroma as soon as it arrives in front of you. It really looks delicious.Under Dong's mother's gaze, You Miao stretched out her chopsticks, picked up a piece of fish and put it into her mouth.

"How is it? Is it delicious?" Mother Dong couldn't wait to get feedback.

But You Miao didn't seem to hear anything, after tasting the taste, he just stared blankly at the fish on the table, without saying a word.

He is very familiar with this smell.
