Chapter 5 Things Are Not Going Right
"Or... let's stop here today, Lord Princess?"
Before Takeo Weng came without a trace, he completely hid the dim light curtain around him. This time, Mu Xiu took the initiative to take a step back and spread his hands, saying that he did not have any malice, but the relative distance between him and Kaguya of Penglai Mountain still did not change.
His expression was calm, his eyes were calm and serious, and he did not exude a dangerous aura such as murderous aura caused by locking in the "target".
However, even if it is malicious, Mu Xiu actually has no way to truly threaten the princess in front of him. After all, the other party has been avoiding him before and has not been willing to show up until now. Naturally, it is impossible to make a choice made on impulse.
Normal people will definitely choose to try their best to survive their weak period. After recovering, they will be sure to ensure their own safety before they can do things that may be risky. In this issue, even Princess of Moon is no exception.
——After all, now is the most down-and-out time in her life.
Moreover, the brief conflict just now is enough to prove that the direct combat power of Kaguya Penglai Mountain may not be amazing, but the conceptual ability she masters is in great trouble, at least relatively speaking, she has absolutely the power to protect herself.
What's more, she is still a Penglai native who has an immortal body. She was exiled to the earth because she was ineffective in execution on the moon.
“…”
Seeing this, the girl with black long hesitated for a moment, and finally withdrew her eternal power, but her eyes, which were like black jade, were staring at Mu Xiu, still looking very alert.
However, the result finally made her feel relieved. Until the old man Sanqi walked slowly to her and stood in front of her, Mu Xiu did not make any extraordinary moves, and there was no such thing as a sudden attack.
In fact, at this time, Mu Xiu had already said goodbye and turned around and left.
After all, at this time, it is obviously no longer suitable to say anything more. Moreover, in Mu Xiu's view, Zanzaki's appearance is actually a good thing for him-
Because with such a thing, I proved to a certain extent that I really have no malicious intentions through actions and sincerity.
At least you don’t have to think of any excuses to resolve the misunderstanding caused by previous mistakes. You should know that Kaguya’s suspicion in Penglai Mountain is not unreasonable. If he changes his position, Mu Xiu will definitely feel that the whole world will harm him.
So the boy almost praised the old man for a "god teammate", and gave him five-star praise and thirty-two likes.
Therefore, he had almost no hesitation at this moment, and then turned around and left after saying goodbye, without any delay, and seemed very straightforward.
“…”
“…”
After watching his figure disappear at the end of the snow back to the direction of the village, Zazaki's eyes glanced at Kaguya Penglai Mountain and confirmed that she had not suffered any harm, so she was obviously relieved.
Then he hesitated—
"That's the one I told you before, that person, haven't you avoided him before? Why are you meeting him again now? How about it, he didn't do anything, right?"
"Don't worry, I'm fine..." Penglaishan Kaguya stared in that direction and said softly: "This person is indeed very dangerous and inhuman, but he can't hurt me. And it's not that I want to meet him, so I can't help him coming to the door by himself."
"..." The old man sighed, wanted to speak but stopped, and couldn't help but tremble in the cold night.
"You don't have to worry about mahru. When you go back, you can ask your mother-in-law to relax. Since he can't hurt me, the only thing you can get is you who are close to me."
The black-long straight girl tilted her head slightly and said disrespectfully: "But he hasn't taken action these days, and he hasn't attacked you just now. I guess he is not a crazy crazy guy..."
Takeotomo smiled bitterly and shook his head, then asked with hope, "Girl, I'm not talking about this question... I mean, he just called you "Master Princess". Did he know you? Did you really be a princess in heaven before?"
“…”
“…”
A strange color flashed deep in Kaguya's eyes in Penglai Mountain, but she just shook her head gently and whispered: "I don't know... Zao Malu, let's go back first, don't worry my mother-in-law too much. If the weather is too cold, don't always come out."
Takeo Tsubaki's disappointment was almost entirely written on his face.
The black straight girl turned around and looked at the lake that was gradually frozen behind her, thinking about something.
...
...
Back at his current house, after Mu Xiu closed the door, he sat down on the animal fur felt on the floor.
At this time, the flames in the fire pit in front of him were much weaker. He threw a few firewood into it and smashed the rune stones he had just made before he left. With a dull and muffled sound of "pang", the flames rushed up and the majestic heat radiated out.
He didn't have any special expression. Anyway, this kind of low-level rune stone has basically a single effect. He is purely used to practice hands to improve his proficiency in making rune stones. At most, it is the power of the fireball explosion. Now, suppressing the power is simply used to ignite the fire.
After all, raw materials are just stones, and they are everywhere. Even if high-level rune stones have many high requirements for materials, it is not too difficult to find.
Even if you lose your mind and exchange it directly from the big light ball, you only need dozens or hundreds of reward points to exchange for raw materials that may not be processed in your lifetime.
Fortunately, Mu Xiu is in normal mental state and his signs of dizziness are not particularly serious.
So he just let out a long breath, then stretched out his palm, and a dim flame light ignited from his palm.
Then he tried to control it, but found that all the basic effects of the light of the mind have, such as the body protection and object control of mind power, etc., but at present, there is only the previous item, which can only be said to be the light of the mind that is not yet complete.
However, this has already made Mu Xiu very satisfied, because if he really showed more excessive performance, he would probably not be afraid of him.
Slowly closing his five fingers, the flame light slowly disappeared into his palm. At this time, Mu Xiu couldn't help but close his eyes slightly and ponder what had just happened.
He always vaguely felt that something was wrong, and it seemed that something was wrong at some point, but he couldn't tell the reason. Because there was no mistake in Penglai Mountain Kaguya's approach, but he could not make any mistakes unintentionally...
The problem is not about Zhucaiweng, right?
After thinking for a while, he gave up this idea. Overall, it was still going smoothly? At least he finally saw the legendary Neet Ji.
"And it's the black long straight type I like..." I complained.
Just after thinking about it a little, Mu Xiu couldn't help but feel a stunning emotion. This was probably the most amazing black hair that he had ever seen. Not only in the past, he had a premonition that it would be difficult to see such a person again in the future.
Although he used to be verbally polite and said that he was a black-stop direct control, Mu Xiu actually didn't really control the black-stop direct control. But now he always feels that maybe that's not a bad thing?!
However, this heartfelt feeling did not last long, because the north wind suddenly began to roar outside, and the snow that was still quiet just now suddenly turned into a blizzard, which made many people wake up from their dreams.
Mu Xiu's smile suddenly became frozen. He sighed, reached out and plucked the firewood a few times, and turned to look out the window with a melancholy expression.
I really chose a good time to come here. It seems that there is nothing else to do except stay here, right? When Yakumo-Sui hibernates, she will definitely sleep throughout the winter. She is teleported in through the big light ball, and she has no way to directly pass through the gap to attract her attention.
Maybe when his hallucination occurs, there will be some changes?
But at that time, Mu Xiu himself was no longer in this world. What could he do if he caught Yakumo's attention... This is really a bad situation.
However, no matter how depressed he was, he was fine. He could not change the climate season just by his emotions. Therefore, the cold wind outside the house was howling and blizzards still fell, as if to cover up all the unnatural traces on this ancient land.
A cold current flowed back from the open window, and the fire pond in the house was blown to the point of swaying.
Mu Xiu could only stand up, close the window, then turn around and sit back to the fire pit for a while, feeling a little absent-minded. So he simply stopped staying up late to practice immortality. He lay down on the animal fur felt next to him, and began his first rest these days.
...
...
Since then, several more days have passed.
Finally on this day, Old Sanqi came to visit early in the morning with a little restrained attitude. At this time, dawn had just passed and the sky was lit slightly.
But this is normal. If it is a little later, Mu Xiu would have to go out as usual. If he doesn't come back in the evening, he will often come back late at night. If he really wants to ask him for something, the daylily will be cold at that time.
Following Zhucaiweng and walking half of the village, he greeted the villagers he met along the way very friendly. Mu Xiu once again came to Zhucaiweng's home.
Zhu Caiweng's family is not very wealthy. Like other villagers, they are houses with wooden and grass-roofed houses. They only asked the villagers to help build an extra house before the winter began.
As for the statement in "The Story of Bamboo Seeds" which was circulated in later generations, "After that, every time the bamboo seeds went to cut bamboo, they would find that there was a lot of gold in the bamboo tube, so the old man quickly became a rich man" is nonsense at all.
Even if Kaguya of Penglai Mountain was willing to help the old couple, he would not have adopted such a rash approach. What's more, gold and silver were originally circulating things that only nobles could use. Even in the era before this, commodity exchange in District 11 remained in the original state of bartering.
Anyway, for ordinary people, food is circulating currency, and they may not know gold and silver, and there is no place to use it in remote ridges.
In front of a house behind the old Sanki couple's house.
"...Name?" Mu Xiu asked with a strange expression standing in front of the house.
"Yes, it's been three months since my girl 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..." Old Man Sanqi bowed to him and said in a deep voice.
"I think you should be one of the few talented people in the world, so I want to take the liberty to ask you to give it a try."
"... Then I'll try." Mu Xiu stared at the old man for a long time before nodding to agree.
He could see that the old man was actually very unhappy. He was afraid that the princess who called him to come should be the idea of the princess. On the surface, it was to ask him to name him, but in fact it should be the princess' further test.
She wanted to confirm how much information she knew about her—
