Chapter 267 Something Is Not Right
"How about...let's stop here for today, my lord princess?"

Without a trace, before Taketori Ong came over, he completely disappeared the dim light curtain around him. This time, Mu Xiu took the initiative to take a step back and spread his hands, expressing that he did not have any malicious intentions, but he and Penglai Shan Huiye The relative distance between them remains unchanged.

His expression was peaceful, his eyes were calm and serious, and he didn't exude any dangerous aura such as murderous hostility caused by locking on to the "target".

But even if there is malice, there is actually no way for Mu Xiu to really threaten the princess in front of him.After all, the other party had been avoiding him before, and only now was willing to show his face. Naturally, it couldn't be an impulsive choice.

Normal people will definitely choose to try their best to get through their weak period. After recovering, they will be sure to ensure their own safety before doing something that may be risky. exception.

— After all, now is the most desperate time in her life.

And the brief skirmish just now is enough to prove that Penglai Shan Huiye may not be so amazing in direct combat, but the conceptual ability she has mastered is extremely troublesome, at least relatively speaking, it is absolutely self-sufficient. Guaranteed.

What's more, she is still an immortal Penglai native, and she was exiled to the earth precisely because of the fruitless execution on the moon.

"..."

Seeing this, the long-straight girl obviously hesitated for a while, and finally withdrew her eternal power, but her black jade-like eyes were staring at Mu Xiu closely, and she was still very vigilant.

But the result finally let her breathe a sigh of relief, until the old Sanuki walked up to her a little slowly and stood still, Mu Xiu did not do anything out of the ordinary, and there was no such thing as rioting.

In fact, at this time, Mu Xiu had already bid farewell and left.

After all, because of Taketori Ong's appearance at this time, it is obviously no longer appropriate to say anything, and in Mu Xiu's opinion, the appearance of Sanzaki Zoumaro is actually a good thing for him——

Because with the help of such a thing, I have proved to a certain extent that I really have no malicious intentions through actions and sincerity.

At least there is no need to think of any excuses to resolve the misunderstanding caused by the previous mistakes. You must know that Penglai Shan Huiye's suspicion is not unreasonable. If he changes positions, Mu Xiu must feel that the whole world will harm him.

So the boy almost wanted to praise his grandfather as a "god teammate", and he also sent a five-star praise and ordered 32 likes.

Therefore, he hardly hesitated at this moment, and after he said goodbye, he turned around and left without procrastinating at all, appearing very straightforward.

"..."

"..."

Watching his figure disappear in silence at the end of the snowy field back to the village, Sanzaki Somaro scanned Horai Kaguya's body for a while to confirm that she had not suffered any harm, and then he was obviously relieved. Take a breath.

Then he hesitated and said——

"That's the one, that person I told you before. Didn't you keep avoiding him before? Why are you meeting him again now? How is it? Didn't he do anything?"

"Don't worry, I'm fine..." Penglai Shan Huiye stared in that direction, and said softly: "This person is indeed very dangerous and inhuman, but he can't hurt me. And he's not the one I want to meet, There is nothing I can do if he comes to the door by himself."

"..." The old man sighed, hesitated to speak, and couldn't help shivering in the cold night.

"You don't have to worry about Zaomalu, just tell your mother-in-law to relax when you go back. Since he can't hurt the concubine, the only thing that can get him is you who are close to the concubine."

The black, long straight girl tilted her head slightly, and said indifferently: "But he hasn't done anything these days, and he didn't do anything to you just now, so he must not be a madman..."

Taketori smiled wryly and shook his head, then asked with expectant eyes: "Girl, I didn't mean this question... I mean, he called you "Master Princess" just now, does he know you?Were you really a princess in heaven before? "

"..."

"..."

An imperceptible strangeness flashed in the depths of Penglai Shanhuiye's eyes, but she just shook her head slightly, and said in a low voice: "I don't know either... Zaomaro, let's go back first, don't worry my mother-in-law too much , the weather is too cold so you don’t always come out.”

Taketori Ong's disappointment was almost all written on his face.

And the girl with long black hair turned her head, glanced at the gradually freezing lake behind her, thoughtfully.

……

……

After returning to his current house, Mu Xiu closed the door and sat down on the animal skin felt on the floor.

At this time, the flames in the fire pit in front of him had already weakened a lot, so he threw a few pieces of firewood into it, and smashed the rune stone that had just been made before he went out, and there was a dull muffled sound of "Peng", The flames rushed straight up, and the majestic heat radiated out.

He didn't have any special expressions, anyway, this kind of low-level rune stones basically had a single effect, and he was purely used to practice his hands to improve his proficiency in making rune stones.At most, it is the explosive power of a fireball technique. It doesn't hurt to suppress the power now and simply use it to ignite the fire.

After all, the raw material is just stone, which can be found everywhere. Even if high-level rune stones require a lot more material, they are not too difficult to find.

Even if you lose your mind and go crazy and exchange it directly from the big light sphere, you only need tens or hundreds of reward points to exchange for raw materials that may not be processed in a lifetime.

Fortunately, Mu Xiu's current mental state is normal, and the signs of dizziness are not particularly serious.

So he just exhaled a long breath, and then stretched out his palm, a faint flame ignited in his palm.

Then he tried to control it, but found that all the basic effects of the light of the soul, such as body protection and object control similar to telekinetic power, currently only have the former item, which can only be said to be an incomplete soul. Light.

But this has made Mu Xiu very satisfied, because if there is a more excessive performance, I am afraid that he will not be afraid.

Slowly closing five fingers, the flames also slowly disappeared in the palm.At this time, Mu Xiu couldn't help closing his eyes slightly, thinking about what happened just now.

He always vaguely felt that something was wrong, that something went wrong in some link, but he couldn't tell the reason anyway.Because there was no mistake in Penglai Shanhuiye's approach, but it was impossible for him to make any mistakes unintentionally...

The problem shouldn't be with Taketori Ong, right?
After thinking about it to no avail, he gave up the idea.Anyway, on the whole, it's going well? ——At least I finally met the legendary NEET Ji.

"And it's my favorite black long straight type..." Tucao.

Just thinking about it for a while, Mu Xiu couldn't help feeling amazed. This was probably the most astonishing black long straight he had ever seen.Not just before, he had a premonition that it would be difficult to see such a person again in the future.

Although he used to talk nonsense and said that he was the direct control of Hei Changzhi, Mu Xiu didn't really control Hei Changzhi, but now he always feels that maybe that's not a bad thing? !

However, this feeling from the heart did not last long, because the north wind suddenly began to howl outside, and the snow that had been quiet just now suddenly turned into a blizzard, which woke up many people from their dreams.

Mu Xiu's smile froze immediately, he sighed, reached out his hand to poke the firewood a few times, and turned to look out of the window with a melancholy expression.

I really picked a good time to come here. It seems that there is nothing else to do besides staying here all winter, right?Once Yakumo Ziyi hibernates, she will definitely sleep through the whole winter. She is transmitted in through the big light ball, and there is no way to directly pass through the gap to attract her attention.

Maybe when his hallucinations attack, something will change?
But at that time, Mu Xiu himself was no longer in this world, so what if he caught Yakumo Zi's attention... This is really a situation that can't be worse.

But no matter how depressed he is, it’s okay to rely on emotions alone to change the climate and season, so the cold wind outside the house is howling, and the blizzard is still falling, as if to cover up all the unnatural traces on this ancient land. .

A cold current poured in through the open windows, and the firepit in the house was also shaken by the blowing.

Mu Xiu could only stand up, closed the window, then turned back to sit by the firepit for a while, feeling a little absent-minded.So he decided not to stay up all night to practice immortality, he just lay down on the animal skin blanket next to him, and began to rest for the first time in these days.

……

……

A few days have passed since then.

Finally, on this day, the Sanuki old man came to visit early in the morning with some restraint.At this time, the dawn had just passed, and the sky was only slightly bright.

But this is also normal, if it is later, Mu Xiu will go out as usual, and if he does not come back in the evening, it will often be late at night before he will come back leisurely.If you really need him for something important, the day lily will be cold by then.

Following behind Taketori Weng, he walked halfway through the village, and greeted the villagers he met along the way very friendly. Mu Xiu came to Taketori Weng's home again.

Taketori Ong's family was not very well off. Like other villagers, he had a house with a wooden frame and a thatched roof. He just asked the villagers to help him build an extra house before winter.

As for what is said in "The Tale of Bamboo Cutter" handed down by later generations, "After that, every time the old man Taketori went to cut bamboo, he would find a lot of gold in the bamboo tube, so the old man quickly became a rich man." The statement is simply nonsense.

Even if Penglai Shanhuiye wanted to help the old couple, he would not take such a rash approach.What's more, gold and silver are originally the circulation items that can only be used by nobles. Even in the era before this, the commodity exchange in the eleventh district has always remained in the original state of barter.

Anyway, for ordinary common people, food and other goods are in circulation, and they may not know gold and silver, and there is no place to use them in remote villages.

In front of a house behind the old couple's house in Sanuki.

"...a name?" Mu Xiu stood in front of the house and asked with a strange expression.

"Yes, it has been three months, and my daughter has no name yet. So although the old man is not his biological father, he still wants to ask someone to give her a name worthy of her..." Sanuki old man said to He arched his hands and said in a deep voice.

"I think, my lord, you should be a rare and talented person in the world, so I would like to take the liberty of asking you to try it."

"...Then let me try." Mu Xiu stared at the old man for a long time before nodding in agreement.

He could see that the old man was actually very unhappy in his heart. I am afraid that it should be the idea of ​​the princess who asked him to come. On the surface, he wanted him to name him, but in fact it should be the princess's further temptation.

She wanted to confirm how much information she knew about her——

If Mu Xiu could tell her real name, it would prove a lot of things...
