In the nearly sixteen years that followed, it returned to its peaceful appearance, flowing forward gently along with the stream in the valley, without knowing where it came from or where it was going.
But Meng Yu's appearance changed day by day.
I often ask Cang Li, before, they all claimed that demons have no mothers, but how can I give birth to a demon. Then I realized that this demon is not that demon. Because the demon world has escaped from the world thousands of years ago, so,
The demons that everyone mentioned later were all demons that had been cultivated into spirits in other dimensions. Real demons with pure bloodline like Nuwa and Grandma Anian were races whose power was comparable to that of gods and demons, and they also had the same characteristics.
The ability to reproduce. Then I had more doubts. For example, if the demons in the Yuyu Forest really returned to the demon world, would they be accepted by the real demon clan? Or, if the demon world reappeared, what would happen again?
What kind of turmoil will it bring to the six realms?
Although Meng Yu is a demon, his character is more like that of his father. He doesn't speak much, but he is very deep. At such a young age, he always gives people a very solid feeling.
Cang Li treated him very well, so much so that I sometimes had the illusion that they were the real father and son. And Meng Yu did call him father, even though Can Li had personally told him that his biological father was a mortal.
There is only one thing, Can Li does not allow Meng Yu to leave Yifeng Valley easily. Therefore, in sixteen years, Meng Yu only left the valley three times, and each time he was escorted by Can Li. I don't understand why he is so cautious.
But I was not at ease in my heart, and was afraid that Meng Yu would encounter any danger outside, so I did not interfere with it. But Cang Li was indeed very attentive to other matters, and he followed the agreement he made with me, never doing anything to me.
Meng Yu has too many interferences and restrictions.
Apart from Cang Li and I, the only person who has accompanied Meng Yu in these years is the fish demon Shui Ling. When Cang Li taught Meng Yu, he also let Shui Ling come with him. Therefore, even if it is a demon that was cultivated the day after tomorrow, the spirit of Shui Ling
The force is not weak either.
But these days, Cang Li began to gradually become more alert. Of course, I also had a lot more thoughts. If we go by mortal terms, Meng Yu is about to reach adulthood.
In the afternoon of this day, Cang Li suddenly pushed the door in without knocking, frowning, and changed from his usual calm demeanor.
"Has Yuer ever been to your place?"
I sat up from the couch and said with a blank look on my face: "No."
"What about Shui Lin? Have you seen her?"
"nor."
"I have searched all over the valley, but there is no trace of them."
Only then did I seem to realize the seriousness of the situation.
"Have you found the cave in the west hill?"
"Not here."
"Where's the cave to the south?"
"Not here either."
The more I asked, the more panicked I became. As I asked, Cang Li and I quickly walked out of the bamboo house.
He went east, I went west, and after searching again, we returned to the starting point, both with sad faces.
"When did this child leave the valley? He didn't make any noise."
"There's still half a month left, we have to bring him back as soon as possible."
There is only half a month until Meng Yu's sixteenth birthday. It turns out that the adult time of demon clan is the same as that of mortals.
"Where will he go?"
I tried hard to recall and guess, but couldn't capture any useful clues from my memory.
Cang Li thought for a while, and then said as if to himself: "A few days ago, he seemed to ask me about his biological father..."
I frowned and my thoughts suddenly became confused.
"He went to Suining." Cang Li said with certainty.
Although Cang Li is a god, he has also practiced the art of space in the Demon Realm, so within a moment, we were already in the town of Suining.
Things have changed, but there are still lively markets and familiar houses. People seem to have forgotten the terrible accident many years ago. Many young faces show joy and vitality, but I don’t know what happened to those old people.
.
At this time, Cang Li also transformed into a mortal, wearing a ginger robe, walking forward with me on the bluestone road in Suining, heading in that familiar direction.
Even though many new houses have been added around, the main road has not changed much. If you go around the intersection in front, you can see the pond with hanging willow trees.
The layout is the same as before, except that the courtyard wall is much older, and the sign with "Mengjun Villa" engraved on it has been replaced by "Bo Mansion". The servant cleaning the door has also disappeared, and the door is quietly closed.
Then, I suddenly stopped, a little hesitant and a little scared.
"What?" Cang Li asked softly.
"nothing."
I took a deep breath and continued walking forward.
I raised my hand and knocked on the door. Everything seemed natural, but my heart was already filled with turmoil.
In fact, we also came to investigate the night before, but we found no trace of that person, nor did we find Meng Yu or Shuiming.
Meng Yu learned some space techniques from Cang Li, and it shouldn't take long to get here from Yifeng Valley.
But I still don’t understand how Cang Li knew that that person was in Suining. Could it be that it was also my ravings at night? But for more than ten years, we have lived in separate rooms.
At this time, we no longer care to delve into the reason. We just want to find Meng Yu as soon as possible.
Not long after, the door of Bo's Mansion opened, and a boy poked out from inside. He seemed to be only a teenager, but he was about the same age as Meng Yu.
"Who are you two looking for?"
"Excuse me... is Boyi here?"
"You want to find my master? He doesn't see any strangers. You two should leave as soon as possible."
After saying that, the boy wanted to close the door.
"Please tell me something, we are not strangers, we are old friends."
"Come on, let's go, my master is not here at the moment." The boy urged impatiently.
Just when the door was about to close, a soft voice came from the crack in the door.
"elder sister?"
The boy looked back, stopped closing the door, glanced at us, and opened the door again.
Only then did I see clearly the person in the hospital. She had a delicate appearance, a simple bun on her head, long hair reaching her waist, and was wearing an apricot-colored gauze skirt. She was stopping to look at me from a distance.
"Are you a sister?"
She hesitated for a moment, and then came over to us. There seemed to be a trace of joy and a lot of doubts in her eyes.
"Ying'er?" I called out the name hesitantly.
She suddenly smiled and nodded vigorously.
"Sister, do you still remember me? My sister has really not changed at all after all these years!"
Her uncontrollable excitement was quickly interrupted by someone coming from behind.
"Of course she won't change, because she's not a human at all."
I walked around Ying'er and looked around, and saw a man with a few strands of white hair on his temples. Even so, he still had a tall and straight figure, and there was a bit of heroism between his eyebrows. However, compared to the past, he was
Really much older.
"Brother Boyi."
I took two steps to the side and shouted calmly.
Boyi said "hum" without making any other response, then turned around and walked into the courtyard.
"come in."
When the boy was hesitant to comment, he just dropped this sentence.
The boy stepped aside and Ying'er led us into the house.
It seems that everything in the mansion has been completely rebuilt, and even the layout has changed a lot. Many of the previous gardens and courtyards were abandoned, and were surrounded by new courtyard walls, and the courtyard doors were locked. Therefore, the courtyards in the mansion were The space was much crowded. We followed Ying'er all the way to the small courtyard in the southeast. The buildings in this courtyard were still the same as before. On the other side of the courtyard was the inner courtyard where You Ruojun once lived. And this courtyard, That person originally lived there.
However, Ying'er took us in, and together with Boyi, we entered the main room of the other courtyard.
"Sister, please take a seat first. I'll ask someone to bring you tea." Ying'er asked us to sit down at the guest seats. Seeing Boyi's expression, she cautiously left.
"What are you doing here again?"
Boyi sat down and looked at us with a very serious expression, but he deliberately moved his eyes elsewhere. Finally, he looked at Cang Li, who had transformed into a mortal, and gave a fierce "hum".
"Brother Boyi."
"Wait a minute!" He interrupted me and said sternly, "I can't afford to be called you. I'm just a mortal and my lifespan is only a few decades. I definitely can't afford for a monster to call me 'big brother'."
Cang Li frowned at the side, and I shook my head at him.
"Do you know where Yunzhong is?"
When he heard the name, he turned his head suddenly, his eyes even more angry.
"He? I don't know."
"Didn't he come back?" I remembered the last time I saw him at Quexian Waterfall many years ago.
"Back. Gone again."
"Where has he gone?" I became a little anxious.
"How do I know? Shouldn't you know better than me?"
He slapped the coffee table next to him, looking very angry.
"I thought... he would come back, and Miss You Ruojun..."
"Shut up! Don't mention her name!" Boyi got angry and glared at us.
Cang Li stood up slowly, and I immediately felt a chilling air around me.
I quickly stood up, walked to Cang Li, and grabbed his sleeve.
"Huh!" Boyi sneered again, seeming to be contemptuous of us.
"Then let's say goodbye first." I pulled Cang Li and turned around to leave the main hall. I happened to meet Ying'er walking in with a tea tray. I smiled at her and turned around to leave.
After leaving Bo Mansion, I felt quite emotional for a while.
What exactly happened in these years?
Cang Li and I walked around the familiar mountain road and returned to the wooden house near Quexian Waterfall. Originally, I wanted to go back to Zhuoyun Xiaozhu, but I saw that Cang Li was reluctant. Maybe there were many sad memories. I was led out consciously, but he still didn't dare to face it. Therefore, I waited with a bit of luck when he arrived at this wooden house that was far inferior to Zhuoyun's small house.
I still pushed open the door of the wooden house with a bit of nervousness. After a brief hesitation, and when I was sure that there was indeed no other life in the house, I crossed the threshold and walked in.
Familiar furnishings, I just flicked away the accumulated dust yesterday. This place has been deserted for a long time.
"A mortal actually lives so close to the entrance of the Demon Realm." Cang Li walked into the house immediately after him and said casually.
"He doesn't know about the entrance to the Demonic Realm, or even the existence of gods and demons."
Cang Li suddenly stopped and turned to look at me, then nodded and said nothing.
"If he hadn't met me, maybe he could have lived a normal life without having to experience so many things beyond his knowledge."
"Or maybe he was killed by the demonic energy at some point." Cang Li added abruptly.
I was speechless for a moment and stopped replying because I remembered the scene when Zhi Fen became a demon. Probably he was not in the cabin at that time.
At nightfall, I couldn't help but return to Bo Mansion. Cang Li didn't follow me, because he really wasn't used to having too many mortals around him.
I knew that person was not in the house, but I suddenly wanted to see another person.
I first sneaked into the sealed courtyards and walked around. Except for the dilapidated scenes overgrown with weeds, there was nothing else. Even the flower beds and walls that were damaged during the original fight had not changed much.
Then, I walked around Boyi's courtyard and found the inner courtyard where many shrubs had been planted. It was also a dilapidated scene, but the courtyard door was not locked.
Not here?
I went to Boyi's former residence and several other courtyards, but found nothing new, except for the courtyard where Boyi lives now. Could it be that he would place her in his own residence?
After making random guesses, I had sneaked into the small courtyard to the southeast. The lights in the main hall had been turned off, and only the east wing still had a glimmer of light. I approached carefully and quietly leaned against the window that was not completely closed.
Although I have cast a concealment spell, I still don't want to make too much noise.
I saw the furnishings in the house through the gap in the window, but soon realized that this should be a woman's room. I turned my gaze, and sure enough I saw Ying'er sitting by the bed sorting clothes.
The east wing is actually occupied by Ying'er, so where does Boyi live?
Just as I was thinking about it, there was movement from the west wing.
I quickly ducked and dived in that direction.
I came to the window of the west wing, but found that there was no light at all, and I couldn't feel the breath of life. Isn't Boyi here?
"elder sister?"
The protruding voice from behind startled me, and I quickly confirmed again that I was indeed casting a spell. But as soon as I turned around, I met Ying'er's eyes, and she could obviously see me.
"Ying'er, can you see me?"
"It's so late, why is sister here?"
I simply removed the hidden curse, but the way she looked at me didn't seem to change.
"I want to come and see an old friend." I didn't know how to explain my intention.
"Sister, why don't you come back during the day?"
"Brother Boyi doesn't seem to welcome me, so I had to come quietly at this time."
"Who do you want to see, sister? I'll take you there. But there aren't many people in the house, including the servants."
"Can we come to your room and talk?"
Ying'er was a little surprised, but still nodded in agreement.
I came to the east wing with her and chatted for a while. She didn't seem to remember those things when she was a child. She only remembered that she was a wandering beggar who was picked up and brought back by Ruyuan and I. But I
I'm really curious as to how she could see me under the concealment spell.
"Ying'er, do you know where Yun Zhong is?" After going around the topic for a few times, I still asked with a bit of luck.
But Ying'er shook her head helplessly and said: "Master Meng left many years ago and didn't say where he was going. Before leaving, he only left me in the care of Master Boyi. I remember that they already had something to say at that time.
We had an argument, and when he left, Hero Boyi seemed very angry. But he was very kind to me, and always took care of me as a young lady in the house."
"Then who else is there in this mansion now?"
"Who do you want to meet, sister?"
"Actually... I don't want to see him, I just want to take a look from a distance."
"Then who does sister want to see?"
I hesitated for a moment and finally said it: "You Ruojun."
"You Ruojun?" Ying'er looked confused, "There is no such person as You Ruojun in this mansion!"
"Isn't there such a person?" I tried to recall the past scene. When Ying'er was sent back by us, it seemed that she had not really met You Ruojun. Could it be that You Ruojun also left?
"Then besides you and Boyi, is there anyone else living in this mansion?"
"The others are just the servants and maids who take care of our food and clothing."
This made me even more confused.
"What about Jishu? Have you heard of this person?"
Ying'er shook her head again. It seemed that this trip really achieved nothing.
