Chapter 70:

Although the boy escaped very quickly, he was quickly overtaken by Nan He.
Just as Nan He's hand was about to grab his shoulder, a palm protruded from the side and intercepted Nan He's hand.
The person who came was a young human man. He and Nan He fisted against each other. They bounced a few steps apart, then rubbed their bodies, and slammed into each other quickly.
By the time Yuan Xianger and others arrived, Nan He and the man who appeared suddenly had fisted each other, and it took ten or so to recruit.
Yuan Xianger stopped and took a closer look. The man who fought Nan He was a human, with shabby clothes and sharp eyes. His messy temples were scratching the back of his head, and there was a striking scar on his left eye.
Yuan Xianger is still very familiar with Nanhe’s combat mode. After finding Nanhe’s position with the apostle contract, she often followed to take a peek in the Tianlang Mountain, knowing that she would fight with her soft Nanhe on weekdays, but she always didn’t care. Recklessly fierce. Perhaps he grew up in a dangerous environment and grew up in a hostile spirit. His battles were often cruel to the enemy, and he never cared about himself.
In many cases, the enemy was frightened by his desperate style of play for the first three points, and even escaped directly with his tail sandwiched.
But the human-like man in front of him seemed to be the same as Nan He.
When the two collided with each other, they were all killer moves. After a thumping punch, the man took more than ten steps back. He fell on the ground to remove the inertia, reached out his hand to wipe the bloodshot from the corner of his mouth, took a stop, and rushed to Nanhe again.
"Is this also a human?" Wu Yuan hesitated for a moment, "No, no, I can see that he is not a pure human, he is mixed with the blood of demons."
"I dare to challenge my brother Nan when I steal something and watch me scratch his face." Wu Yuan wanted to jump down and join in the fun.
Yuan Xiang'er quickly grabbed the kitten's back neck with his eyesight, "He doesn't seem to be Nan He's opponent yet, so let's just watch."
"A half-demon, who can fight Nan He in close combat, is quite powerful." Hu Qing also stopped and stood beside Yuan Xiang'er to watch the battle.
Yuan Xiang'er didn't know enough about the battle between the monsters: "Is this very powerful?"
"Xiao Nan's melee combat is very tough." Du Shuo watched the battle with his arms folded. "Leave aside the spell. If I only talk about melee combat, I have no confidence in winning against Shangnanhe."
The battle seemed fierce, but Nan He had obviously not done his best yet, so everyone just stood by and watched the battle, not planning to help.
But the next moment the battle situation changed sharply, at the moment when Nan He knocked down the man and prepared 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 white sticks around it gently swayed, making a glass-like collision. Countless plants and vines squirmed crazily on the ground, and quickly wrapped Nan He's legs and body tightly, restricting his movement, layer by layer of plants covered it, desperately trying to bind Nan He.
"A Jun, run."
While trapping Nanhe, the man no longer wanted to fight, greeted him decisively and began to flee.
"It's not that easy to run." Du Shuo chuckled lightly, stretched out a finger, and volleyed forward.
The galloping man seemed to be pressed by some invisible force in the air. He fell from the air and rolled around on the ground, but then quickly turned over and continued to run towards the depths of the jungle.
But just such a momentary delay has made him lose the opportunity to escape. An angry wolf howl sounded, and a huge silver Sirius appeared among the vines that were flying apart 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 Xianger's purse ran out from the white bamboo forest,
"I'll give you things back, don't hurt my brother." He wears a demon skull on his head and animal skins behind him, flying all the way out of the jungle like a little monster beast, holding Yuan Xiang'er high in his hands. Purse.
"Asshole, Jun, you run first, they are demons, run!" The brother who was bitten by Nan He struggling to stretch out his arm from Nan He's mouth, while ignoring his injury, broke out and tried to resist Nan He, while opening his mouth to prevent his brother from sending him to death. .
The little boy named Ah Jun has ran to Nan He regardless. Under the huge size of Sirius, his small body looked very thin, but he still threw himself at the feet of Nanhe, buried his head in the soil, and raised his hands on top of his head with trembling hands, holding the purse.
"Return things to you, sir, forgive me once, please."
Nan He squinted his slender eyes and looked at him for a moment, then vomited his injured brother on the ground, turned into a human form, reached out his hand to take his purse, and handed it to Yuan Xiang'er.
Yuan Xianger opened the purse and saw that the Fulu was neat and tidy, but the few sweet-scented osmanthus candies in the purse were gone. She glanced at the little boy who stole her things and said nothing.
At the age of six or seven, the boy was walking around in the market. He was very pleased when he should be pleased. When he should beg for mercy, he did not hesitate to kneel down and beg for mercy. He was already very sophisticated. A child who can be so mature at this age must have a difficult life. Although she doesn't like it, she doesn't plan to mention a few candies.
The elder brother who was helped by A Jun seemed to see something from Yuan Xiang'er's subtle expression.
"What do you still owe others?" He asked in a low voice, Shi Jun, who worked hard to support his brother.
Shi Jun lowered his head, reached out his hand in his pocket for a long time, spread his dirty palm, and placed a sweet-scented osmanthus candy carefully wrapped in sugar paper in his palm.
"Yes, I'm sorry. I ate it all, only this one is left. I wanted to leave it to my brother." He apologized to his brother pitifully.
His elder brother looked at him for a long while, then turned around and took out a piece of unremarkable spirit jade.
"We use this to offset." he said.
After all, Shi Jun was still young, so he shouted out, "But brother, this is what you got by winning the game desperately."
He narrowed his mouth, tears quickly filled his eyes.
After my father passed away, the family owed a lot of money, and life was not easy. Although his brother Shifu is very good, he is unwilling to mix some quick money in the market to pay off his debts like him. Every piece of jade is very hard to earn. But every time he steals something, if his elder brother finds out, Shifu always teaches him severely. Shi Jun didn't understand it in the past. Until today, his brother almost lost his life, and he was a little scared after paying a heavy price.
Shi Fu didn't look at him, just at Yuan Xianger,
This is the spirit world, with a lot of aura, and the less conspicuous spirit jade is not very valuable, but a few candies are always more than enough.
"No need, just a few candies, take it back." Yuan Xianger said.
Shi Fu took the hand of his younger brother who wanted to go forward and retrieve Lingyu, watched Nan He and Du Shuo slowly backing away with vigilance, and finally pulled his younger brother back and disappeared into the depths of Bai Zhulin.
After the two brothers were far away, Nan He looked at the white woods and said, "It seems that there may be villages inhabited by humans nearby."
After the separation of the spirit world, a small number of humans were left behind in this world for general reasons. The Baizhu trees here are delicious and easy for humans to fill up. The humans who stayed in the last life like to live in groups near Baizhu Forest. It is said that the vast Baizhu Forest will give birth to tree gods and guard the people living around them.
"Really? Will you meet humans?" Yuan Xianger looked forward to it.
They have been in this world of monsters for some time, and they have been seeing all kinds of strange creatures, which brought her a feeling of homesickness. It is possible to see some of his own companions, which makes Yuan Xianger very happy.
Sure enough, after passing through the Baizhu Forest, a canyon made of red rocks appeared.
The narrow valley is surrounded by mirror-like red stone walls on both sides. Walking through the canyon, you can clearly see the reflection of a group of people on the rock wall.
Yuan Xiang'er looked sideways, her appearance was the same as in reality, but Nan He walking beside her was obviously in human form, and what appeared in the stone wall was a majestic Sirius. Behind Nan He was an elegant shape. The demoiselle crane is walking with long legs without hurries.
Hu Qing, who looked like a fox, followed the demoiselle crane with nine long tails behind her.
Wu Yuan, who was squatting on Yuan Xiang'er's shoulders, spoke milkily, as if he was a little cuter and younger than his transformed appearance.
"Impossible, I am not so young." Wu Yuan said unhappily. He tried 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 red blood stone can naturally reflect the original appearance of the birth spirit. Any magical changes will have no effect in front of it." Hu Qing explained to Yuan Xianger, "It is a pity that the stone after cutting is Lost this peculiar effect, so it can only be seen on the spot, which is of no use."
While talking, Hu Qing quietly looked at the stone wall and touched his pointed cheek with his slender forelimbs.
Isn't your original shape neat and beautiful? The hair is also very clean and shiny, shouldn't you be ashamed in front of Lord Dushuo?
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 him.
"Our Nanhe's hair is so beautiful, shiny like stars, both inside and outside the mirror. Our Wuyuan is also so cute, even cuter than the real appearance."
I really hope Master Dushuo can touch my head like Axiang. The nine-tailed fox rolled up nine long fluffy tails, thinking jealously.
Soon after he walked out of the gorge, his eyes suddenly opened up. To Yuan Xianger's surprise, inside the gorge was a small town that was very different from the human world outside.
There are neat and uniform roads in the small town surrounded by mountains. The houses built on the roadside are strange and weird. They have roof beams made of monster bones, windows made of special colored films, and huge shells. roof.
The human beings walking on the street are handsome and well-proportioned, and the clothes they wear are vaguely 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 depicted on wheels with precise spells, inlaid with spirit jade, rolling forward on their own.
The lanterns hung under the eaves do not light candles, but are planted with plants that can absorb the aura of heaven and earth.
A small shop on the street sells a variety of peculiar monster masks. The skulls worn by Shi Jun, the little boy I met before, turned out to be only common styles here.
All in all, the lives of human beings who have lived in the next world where demons have gathered for hundreds of years seem to be very different from the floating world.
When the pedestrians on the road saw Yuan Xiang'er and his party appear, they all showed a curious look.
They watched Yuan Xianger and her shadow reflected on the stone wall from a distance, whispering and discussing with each other, but for a while, it seemed that no one wanted to approach the huge red stone wall at the intersection.
After a while, a graceful, enchanting young lady separated from the crowd and carefully leaned in to greet her.
"The girl doesn't look like a local? I don't know where is Xianxiang?" The lady was full of smiles, warm and kind, with a look and curiosity.
Yuan Xiang'er blinked and couldn't help but looked back and forth towards the stone wall several times. The beautiful and slim little lady who appeared in front of him had a very short and squat shadow on the stone wall with patches of different colors on her face. The markings of her are very different from the image she appeared in front of Yuan Xianger. So that Yuan Xianger was distracted and could hardly catch her words.
"Ah, I'm from the floating world." She barely suppressed her surprise, and did not appear to be too rude.
Hearing these words, the crowd burst into excitement.
"Humans from the floating world? Haven't heard of people from the floating world coming here for hundreds of years?"
"It's a purebred of the same race, it's so rare, there is no magic to change the appearance, it is exactly the same as the shadow on the red rock."
"Girls of the floating world, are they so beautiful?"
"She also carries the demon's apostle, so amazing."
People gathered around one by one and talked about it. The people here seemed to be more rare for the companions from the floating world than the demons like Nanhe. They even enthusiastically began to invite Yuan Xianger to visit their home.
"It's rare to have guests from the floating world. The little lady went to my house to rest. My house brews good deer fetus wine, just to entertain the guests."
"It's better to go to my house. My house is equipped with heating instruments. The room is like spring, so you can have a good rest."
"Don't fight with me, my courtyard is bigger, you can enjoy tea and snow, it's best to go to my house."
Yuan Xiang'er was overwhelmed.
Everyone in front of them can be regarded as handsome and handsome in the outside world.
But it is very different from their reflection on the stone mirror. Obviously, it is very popular to use magic techniques to change the appearance and shape.
In a mess room. A group of brightly-dressed servants cleared the way to separate the crowd, and saw the tan-hued chariot, the canopy and the zhu wheel, without horses, coming on their own.
The handsome servant lifted the curtain to help the next gentleman who was as graceful as a jade.
"The county guard is here."
"I have seen the county guard."
"Little lady, this is the county guard who shepherds our world."
The people onlookers saluted and introduced Yuan Xianger to the manager of their small piece of land.
This young and beautiful, handsome county guard 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 of the stone wall.
"It's useless to hide so far. Don't look at him as a human being. In fact, he is short and fat with lumps on his face." Wu Yuan quietly told Yuan Xiang'er the picture in her eyes, and stuck out her tongue, "Yes. The ugliest one here."
"The guests come from afar. The locals have not received anyone from the floating world for hundreds of years. Treat them as distinguished guests, and ask them to come with me to the county mansion to rest."
The handsome and young county guard smiled and invited him.
Yuan Xianger wanted to decline, but the county guard had already summoned the soft sedan car, and the group, together with the people along the way, enthusiastically surrounded Yuan Xianger and others to the county guard house.
The land in the canyon is no more than the size of an ordinary village in the floating world, and the number of residents is not that large at a glance, but because it is a lost world, the local official sealed himself a high position like the county guard and built a momentum. An extraordinary county guard house.
The mansion, Xuan Ang Majestic, built on a large red stone is the most beautiful building in the entire town. In the center, a tall white phoenix tree grows out of the courtyard. Under the tree is a table censer and prayer flags hung on it. Very conspicuous.
The county guard personally welcomed Yuan Xianger all the way into the mansion and hosted a banquet under the white bamboo tree.
"My surname is Lu, and the head of the family is a close minister of the Zhou royal family. The girl came from the floating world. I don't know what the situation is today. Do you know whether the blood of my clan in the floating world is still Antai?" Lu Junshou introduced his life experience and asked Yuan Xianger about the floating world. Situation.
"It's not the Zhou Dynasty anymore. After Zhou, the dynasty has been changed several times. The Lu family is still a big clan and dominates the Northeast."
When Lu Junshou heard that the world had changed dynasties for a long time, he couldn't help but sigh.
With a ribbon of lun scarf and picturesque brows, the son of Shijia Jia, bowed his head and sighed for the lost homeland. If Wu Yuan kept quietly brainwashing Yuan Xiang'er with an apostle contract, Yuan Xiang'er had almost been blinded by his appearance.
(I can see that he has a bit of lizard blood. You see that his forked tongue is spitting out. I don't like lizards, and half of them do not like lizards.) Wu Yuan said in Yuan Xianger's mind.
Yuan Xianger's cold hair stood tall. She was more afraid of this cold-blooded animal. She had goose bumps on her back, and she reluctantly faced Lu Junshou's fair and beautiful face.
"Are these all your apostles here? The girl is really amazing. She can use demons as her apostles. No wonder she can walk here alone."
"They are all my friends. It is indeed thanks to their help that I can get here safely."
Lu Junshou was not afraid of demons like the human beings in the floating world. He even offered a glass of wine to Nanhe and Dushuo.
But Nanhe Dushuo and the others were very indifferent to him, and he had to toast in awe, and did not dare to provoke him again. They seemed to understand the power of monsters and their character.
"I have seen from ancient books that the human beings in the floating world are purebreds, and are unwilling to work at a demon's house?" Lu Junshou added wine to Yuan Xianger.
(Half of his hands are scaly and slimy. Ah, I don't want to drink the wine he poured.) Wu Yuan continues to complain.
"Yes. Most people in the floating world are afraid of demons, or rarely come into contact with demons." Yuan Xianger listened to Wu Yuan's complaints in her mind, and put on a smiling face to entertain Lu Junshou, feeling very bitter.
"Is that so? What a pity, the income of purebred humans working in the demon lair is very high, and the welfare is also very good. The people in our town can get a lot of gold if they find a good master. Lingyu, there are fixed rest days every month." Lu Junshou seemed to introduce the situation in this world casually, gently raising his beautiful eyes to look at Yuan Xiang'er.
"It sounds like it's really good." Yuan Xianger doesn't think it's good. No matter how good the treatment is for her, she is not willing to be adopted by others.
"The ancient book records the life of the floating world, which is very different from mine. It is very curious. I heard that your lanterns are made of open flames. Wouldn't they burn up like that?"
"It seems that there is no white stick in the floating world, and there is not enough food at all times. Will the people starve to death because of food shortage?"
Lu Junshou was very curious about the floating world and asked a lot of questions. The beautiful and huge white sticks in the courtyard were swaying with the wind, and there was a sound of broken pieces, like a dream.
Yuan Xiang'er looked up at the beautiful white branches like ice and snow. "This kind of tree is indeed very magical. With its existence, human life has become much easier. Why is the floating world gone?"
"This white stick is the patron saint of our Chishi Town, and what she gives us humans is not only food."
The young county guard 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 live in our Chishi Town for a long time, you will thank God Baizhu for the gift like me."
The sky full of white branches swayed gently, making a crisp sound, as if responding to what he said.
After hundreds of years of isolation, even though they were once the same ancestor, the lives of humans in the floating world and the humans here seem to have undergone great changes.
Lu Junshou and Yuan Xianger talked to each other for a long time, marveling at each other at the incredible world of each other. The delicious food, mellow wine, and fantastic scenery made the guests and hosts at the banquet enjoyable.
"In this way, life in the floating world is not as good as here." At the end of the banquet, Junshou Lu toasted to each other, "Axiang would like to settle here? I will definitely welcome him."
Yuan Xiang'er was a little drunk, and she declined her sleeves. "Everyone has a homeland plot. In my mind, the last world is beautiful and mysterious, but in the floating world, human beings are still free. After I finish my work, I will definitely go back."
The young county guard sat in the shadow of the white bamboo branches, the shade of the trees obscured his handsome face, and his voice was not heard for a long time.
Early the next morning, Yuan Xianger resolutely left, and Lu Junshou did not insist on staying too much, but personally drove Yuan Xianger out of the canyon, which made Yuan Xianger very relieved.
When leaving the canyon, Yuan Xianger saw Shifu and Shijun brothers in the crowd on the street. However, Shifu only glanced at the frame she was on, then turned to hide in the crowd and leave.
Yuan Xiang'er went outside the canyon, and said goodbye to the people who came to see off. Lu Junshou raised the curtain of the car, got out of the car, extended 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, it has become more and more barren along the way, except for the monsters that occasionally haunt the forest, nothing else.
The mountains and forests were very cold at night, Yuan Xianger and usual sleep on the warm body of Nanhe.
"Xiao Nan, although there are humans here, I think they are a bit different from me." She was trapped in her soft hair, looking at the stars in the night sky, "It seems a bit lonely to think about it this way."
"And I will be with you."
"Haha, yes, I still have Xiao Nan." Yuan Xiang'er rolled over and hugged Nan He's fluffy tail.
"Xiao Nan, do you like the floating world or the last world?"
"Floating World."
"Why is it a floating world?"
"Because I met you there."
Yuan Xiang'er laughed. In the quiet cold night and the sky full of stars, she fell asleep in the warm hair.
"Axiang, Axiang." She faintly heard someone calling her. Yuan Xiang'er opened her eyes and saw a big tree with a purplish red trunk and snow-white soft branches not far away.
The thick roots under the trees protruded above the ground, and Nan He was lying prone on those roots, raising his head to call her.
"What's the matter? Nanhe?" Yuan Xianger hurried forward, a strange sweet smell seemed to fill the air.
"Axiang, you help me." The man's long silver hair poured out all over his body, and a shaggy tail emerged from a place where it was not suitable to stay gaze, and swayed gently to meet Yuan Xiang'er's gaze.
"How...how to help?" Yuan Xiang'er felt a bit dry in her throat.
"You know, you always like to bully me like this." Nan He raised his upper body and whispered softly, "What can I do? I just like you who told me to."
"Axiang, come here quickly."
Yuan Xiang'er opened her eyes suddenly, and woke up from her dream blushingly, only to feel her heart pounding, as if she had forgotten something.
There is no white blaze tree at all, and there is no beautiful picture under the tree. Nan He curled up next to her, closed his eyes, and slept soundly. He vaguely felt Yuan Xiang'er's movement, and covered the infinite spring tail in his dream, tightly covering Yuan Xiang'er to prevent her Catch cold and wind.
Yuan Xiang'er hid in the warm hair and covered her red face, knowing that she was greedy with Nanhe, could it be that she was so trivial that she could dream a certain dream for no reason?
