burning lamp

Early the next morning, Xie Fengshu was woken up by the sound of laughter coming from outside the window.

The voice fluctuated loudly and suddenly, as if it was outside the window. He turned over and got out of bed, opened the bamboo curtain in front of the window and looked down, looking at the children downstairs.

The children wanted to sneak a look at this group of strange strangers, but they probably didn't expect to be discovered, so they immediately stayed where they were, looking up at Xie Fengshu stupidly.

Xie Fengshu smiled at the group of little monkeys and said, "Morning."

He wanted to say something more, but this greeting seemed to wake up these little things. The next moment, they turned around and ran away in all directions, screaming as they ran, as if they saw something terrible thing.

Immortal Ling Heng, who has always held the jade tree facing the wind: "...do I look so scary?"

Xie Fengshu closed his hands and went out without a word. Some pancakes that were the same as last night were placed at the stairway at some point, and no one touched it.Xie Fengshu copied a piece and went downstairs biting his teeth. Just a few steps down the stairs, he saw Jiang Chen was already standing outside the bamboo building.

His back was a little thin, but he was very straight. In the morning light, he seemed to be aloof from the world, but when he was illuminated by the rising sun, he seemed to be a little gentle.Xie Fengshu looked at it for a while, seemed to be thinking about something in his head, and seemed to be thinking about nothing, turned around, and finally came back - such a good-looking monk, unexpectedly failed to ascend, it can be seen that all Buddha forms are the realm of emptiness and form Sincerely do not deceive me.

He said that the whole world seemed to look at his face like him.

He suddenly felt that the appearance of holding pancakes in his mouth was really inappropriate compared with the other party, and he bent slightly to ease his footsteps, but unexpectedly, he stepped on a loose bamboo board with his next foot, making a loud "squeak" Yeah" sound.

Jiang Chen turned around and happened to see Xie Fengshu holding a pancake frozen on the steps, not knowing whether to go up or down.

In just a few days, Xie Fengshu felt that his old face had been completely lost in front of this monk. Seeing that the person had turned around, he had no choice but to pretend nothing had happened, and walked to Jiang Chen's side and smiled at him.

"Morning."

As the sun rises, the Wuchu people have begun to go out to work one after another.They don't have many farms, and they only grow some crops in front of and behind the house. Most of the men are holding bows and arrows or machetes, probably going out to hunt.

The light was not good last night, Xie Fengshu talked with Yannan all the way, but he didn't see the whole village.Only now did I realize that although there are many bamboo houses in the village, they are well scattered. There is a large open space in the middle of the village, where a group of children are playing around. In the center of this open space, there is a sculpture.

The sculpture is about two people tall, carved out of mountain rock, and happens to be facing Xie Fengshu and Jiang Chen with their backs.Xie Fengshu didn't see this stone statue last night, felt a little strange, turned his head to look at Jiangchen and said, "Would you like to go and have a look?"

Jiang Chen paused, and said, "Mr. Changzun hasn't come down yet."

His original intention was probably to ask whether he should wait, but he didn't expect Xie Fengshu to hear it, and replied with a smile: "That's really wishful."

Jiang Chen glanced at him, Xie Fengshu looked back confidently, and in the end it was Jiang Chen who took the lead to look away and walked towards the village.

It was only a hundred steps away from the bamboo house to the stone statue. Along the way, people secretly looked at Jiang Chen and Xie Fengshu. Jiang Chen looked ahead as if he didn't see it.Xie Fengshu didn't care even more. Occasionally, if someone stared at him for a long time, he would turn his head and smile at that person, which made the other person feel embarrassed.

The two of them were surrounded and walked all the way. When they reached the center of the village, Xie Fengshu finally saw the whole picture of the stone statue clearly.

It was a man in armor, barefoot, with a pair of horns on his head, holding a huge axe, with a ferocious expression, his head lowered slightly, as if he was patrolling the territory.Xie Fengshu was standing under the stone statue, and happened to be looking at the stone statue, so the fierce aura of the stone statue seemed to be directed at Xie Fengshu.

Xie Fengshu stared blankly at the face of the stone statue.

He was still looking around on the road, but now it seemed that all his mind was taken away by the sculpture in front of him. Xie Fengshu unconsciously suppressed his smile, looked up for a long time, and suddenly asked, "Who is this?"

Jiang Chen replied, "It should be Chi You."

By the way, when Jiang Chen came, he said that the Wu Chu clan believed in Chi You, the god of war.Xie Fengshu looked at it for a while before retracting his gaze, and sighed, "It's so strange."

Jiang Chen turned to look at him, and asked in a low voice, "What's so strange?"

"...If I say so, you probably think I'm not sober." Xie Fengshu pouted, "Especially that Xiaoxi."

But he paused, and couldn't help but look up at the stone statue, and finally opened his mouth slowly under the menacing gaze.

"I actually feel that the appearance of this god is a bit familiar, as if I have seen it before."

After he finished speaking, he felt a little ridiculous. Chi You died tens of thousands of years ago, and was almost the ancestor of Xie Fengshu's generation of immortals. If he wanted to meet him, he would have to be reincarnated tens of thousands of years earlier.He raised his eyebrows at Jiang Chen, and laughed at himself, "It's probably because I haven't woken up yet."

Jiang Chen didn't answer his words, nor did he laugh at him, but turned his head to look at Xie Fengshu.Xie Fengshu was not used to such a quiet scene, and was about to say something when a sneer came from behind him.

Xie Fengshu turned his head, Xiaoxi was standing behind him with arms folded, seeing Xie Fengshu turned his head, he said, "Have you seen Chi You?"

Xiaoxi looked disdainful: "Are you dreaming?"

"..." What did I say!

Xie Fengshu's mind was filled with doubts that seemed to be cleared away in an instant, and he thought that one day he would find a chance to put a sack on this long-suffering gentleman in front of him and beat him up.

Being interrupted by this, Jiang Chen also looked away from Xie Fengshu and looked not far away.

"Yannan is here."

Xie Fengshu and Xiaoxi followed his gaze.Yannan came riding a black horse, as bright as the sun and the moon.When he was approaching the three of them, he reined in the reins and got off his horse, and said loudly, "Are you awake?"

Xie Fengshu asked: "Are you going out?"

Yan Nan's eyes curved slightly when he laughed, with a youthful look: "I'm going to go hunting today, and there's not much meat left in the village, let alone you are here, I should hunt some big things to entertain you."

Xie Fengshu guessed that the big thing he was talking about was wild boar or something, and when he was moved, he quickly waved his hands: "No need, we eat the same thing."

He glanced at Jiang Chen, then added to Yan Nan: "Besides, we have a monk here."

Yan Nan blinked in a daze: "What is a monk?"

...Little brother, how can I explain this.

Seeing that Jiang Chen didn't want to open his mouth to say a few words about his identity, Xie Fengshu could only vaguely say: "People who can't eat meat."

Yan Nan seemed to understand, but he stopped asking, "Then I'll pick some wild fruits on the way back."

Probably in his heart, not being able to eat meat sounds like a very pitiful thing, Xie Fengshu saw Yan Nan comforting Jiang Chen: "The wild fruits in the mountains are also delicious."

Gee, what a simple child.

The three of them, one demon, one immortal and one Buddha cultivator, actually make no difference whether they eat or not, but Yan Nan is so enthusiastic that there is really no reason to refuse, Xie Fengshu can only say to each other: "Thank you."

Yan Nan waved his hand indifferently: "Thank you, you are guests. We will be back in the evening, if you have anything to do—"

Yan Nan stopped talking, and waved to the children not far away: "A Xia!"

A girl immediately got up and ran towards this side. It was the little girl who brought them pancakes last night.

She ran very fast, and the silver bracelets on her body collided with each other, making a crisp sound, when she reached Xie Fengshu, she couldn't stabilize her foot and was tripped by a stone on the ground, almost falling out.

Xie Fengshu immediately wanted to help, but before he touched anyone, a hand with well-defined joints was already stretched out beside him, holding Yan Xia firmly before him.

It's Jiang Chen.

Without saying a word, he held onto the other person's right shoulder, and only let go after the person stood still.Yan Nan immediately knelt down, looked around at his sister, frowned and asked eagerly, "Are you okay?" Because he was too anxious, he blurted out official words.

Jiang Chen was helped in time, Yan Xia was fine, but she was still a little girl, she felt a little embarrassed in front of the guests, she blushed and lowered her head, not daring to look at anyone.Yan Nan checked and found that the other party was fine, heaved a sigh of relief, then frowned and said a few Wu Chu words, probably saying that Yan Xia didn't know how to be careful.

Although it was said to be scolding, Yan Nan's tone was not fierce, but more like babbling. He raised his hand and gently patted the dust off A-Xia's body, then got up and smiled at the three of them: "Her name is A-Xia, is it?" My younger sister can also speak Mandarin, you can tell her anything you need."

Yan Nan got on his horse, raised his head and yelled something towards the forest, and then, the black eagle from last night came like an arrow and landed on Yan Nan's shoulder.Following this shout, dozens of men from the Wuchu tribe also came on horseback and followed Yannan. The leading man laughed and said a word to Yannan, Yannan replied with a rather dissatisfied expression After saying a word, everyone immediately burst into laughter.

All of a sudden, dozens of fine horses neighed, mixed with the man's heroic laughter, and ran towards the mountain together.

When they walked away, Jiang Chen said: "Just now that person asked Yan Nan if he could hunt a black bear this time, and Yan Nan said yes of course."

Xie Fengshu looked back and said with a smile, "They seem to respect Yannan very much."

"Someone called Yannan 'Sibu' just now, which means young patriarch."

Then it will be much easier to find someone.

Xie Fengshu thought so in his mind, but turned around involuntarily, and looked at the Chiyou stone statue again.

Holding a huge ax in his hand, his face was fierce, and his eyes were still staring at him, as if he was about to come alive and cut off his own head in the next moment.Xie Fengshu watched it for a long time, and even felt that he could smell blood.

This feeling has no reason, but it made Xie Fengshu very uncomfortable, and even gave birth to a little hostility in his heart for no reason.

This kind of emotion was extremely unfamiliar to Xie Fengshu who was too lazy to move on weekdays, but it made him involuntarily want to reach out and touch his own Feng Yuan.

As soon as his hand touched the handle of the knife, a hand suddenly rested on his wrist.

The tip of that finger held Xie Fengshu's wrist with a cool feeling, and at the same time, Jiang Chen's voice sounded.

"Thank you Fengshu."

Jiang Chen's voice was deep and deep, like the morning bell in the temple, instantly shaking Xie Fengshu's thoughts completely.Xie Fengshu turned his head to look at Jiang Chen, the amber pupils of the other party were as deep as the morning mist in the mountains.

Xie Fengshu was stunned for a while, then just like waking up from a big dream, he put down his hand touching the knife, and Jiang Chen immediately withdrew his hand.

From the beginning to the end, he didn't look up at the statue of Chi You, but only looked at Xie Fengshu, and said in a deep voice, "Let's go."
