The whole world thinks I'm inscrutable

Time flies by like a shuttle.

Yin Chen, who was much taller than two years ago, just stepped into the land of the demon world, when he saw the little black and white beast squatting on the ground in front of him, quietly and obediently looking up at him.

Smiling habitually, he stretched out his hand to hold it in the palm of his hand.Weighing the weight, Yin Chen said regretfully: "Little Sijin, you are really a little Sijin. Why haven't you gained weight at all after so long? If I use you as a food reserve in the future, I will starve to death." .”

Si Jin was held in Yin Chen's hand, and he stuck out his tongue and licked Yin Chen's wrist, and then let out a sweet cry of "nia~".

"Oh, my little baby, you are so cute, how could I be willing to eat you." After finishing speaking, Yin Chen held the four catties in front of him and rubbed his face affectionately. After playing and kneading for a while, he finally Putting him on his shoulders, he walked towards his territory.

Not long after walking, a group of densely packed little hamsters ran over, and a few bold ones even climbed up along Yin Chen's clothes, occupied his other shoulder, and said to Yin Chen: " Brother Jiuzhou, you're finally back—have you brought anything delicious?"

"Here." Yin Chen took out a few bunches of candied haws from his bosom, and said, "Take it and share it with everyone——Qiuqiu, where's your Brother Doudou?"

"Brother is in the tree hole!" A ball-like monster that was obviously bigger than the other monsters jumped on the candied haws, licked it first, and said, "Brother Kyushu, there are so many delicious things in the world." It's fun, I want to go to the world too!"

Yin Chen said: "Have you forgotten what I said? Monsters cannot go to the human world."

Qiuqiu laughed with an embarrassed "hehe" and said, "I remembered."

Yin Chen put the candied haws aside, and the spiritual power flowed up his legs.The talisman patterns engraved on the boots glowed faintly, and the next moment, the whole person floated into the air, carrying four catties and flew towards a towering and huge tree in the distance.

In the center of the trunk of this big tree, there is a tree hole with a width of one foot. When you walk into the tree hole and look inside, it is a spacious hut with the trunk of the big tree cut in half. For some small monsters , already like a square, wide enough.

Doudou, who was a small hamster two years ago, has now grown into an adult mouse. Not to mention a few laps in size, her temperament has become much more stable.Standing at the table, he was discussing the big and small matters of the clan with a group of other monster leaders who joined later.After seeing Yin Chen appearing, everyone greeted him one after another with a very earnest and respectful attitude.

——Two years have passed, and everything has changed.Everyone has grown up well and safely, but Xiao Sijin is still the same as before and hasn't changed a bit.Unknowingly, from the original "Bai Ge", he became a "little brother" loved by all monsters.

These newly added monsters are basically weak monsters that Yin Chen has accepted and protected over the years.They heard that somewhere, there was a human being willing to protect them, so the whole family moved here. Slowly, the number increased, and it reached the point where the leader alone could get together to play football.

Because it is in the demon world, the gathering of monsters does not have much impact on Yin Chen who lives in the human world.Being able to help some weak monsters and find a way for them to survive is something he is happy to do for Yin Chen, who has always been a hero and likes to do justice, so he doesn't find it troublesome to deal with it .

The only negative effect is that in recent years, due to the growing power, more and more monsters worship him, and his reputation has become wider and wider, which has caused some big monsters in the demon world who heard his name to be slightly dissatisfied.

In the eyes of those monsters, human beings are their enemies and prey.It is impossible to get along with humans on an equal footing, let alone obey human commands and let humans control them.So I look down on those monsters who turn to Yin Chen for survival.

But those monsters have stayed in this place for a long time after coming here, and got along with Yin Chen a lot, so naturally they won't have the thoughts of outside monsters.Yin Chen would never order them to do anything, let alone oppress and arrest them as food like other monsters. He is very grateful to Yin Chen who is "kind-hearted and does not ask for anything", and he wholeheartedly wants to protect them. Their thoughtful "lord" serves him faithfully.Whether Yin Chen is a human or a demon is not important at all.

But Yin Chen actually just wants to do something good, and at the same time, there is a place where he can study Taoism with peace of mind, and a partner who keeps collecting special items from the demon world for him to help him improve his skills.

Nothing complicated at all.

He came here today because he suddenly saw a boy playing hide-and-seek by the side of the road. When the "ghost" was interacting with people, he suddenly thought of whether it is possible to obtain the ability to perceive the existence of the other party without relying on eyes or ears like monsters. .Even if he couldn't awaken that ability, at least he could shield his presence and aura so that monsters couldn't find him.

So I came to find Doudou and the others to discuss countermeasures and see if there were any experts in concealing aura.

Unexpectedly, Doudou recommended an unexpected monster to Yin Chen.

"—four catties?"

Yin Chen looked at Sijin who was licking his hair contentedly beside him in surprise, and said, "Why?"

Speaking of this, Doudou had a bitter expression on his face: "You don't know, every time we found out that he was gone, we went all over the mountains and mountains to look for him, and after searching for him all afternoon, we found that he had come back a long time ago feel."

"There is no monster who is better at hiding his aura than Sijin."

Yin Chen asked strangely: "Why did he hide in such a good manner? Did you abuse him?"

"You abused him!" Doudou said angrily, "Isn't it because of you that you didn't say hello to him every time you left, causing him to follow you out to find you, and to get angry with us when he came back."

Yin Chen spread his hands and pretended to be innocent: "If I told him, he would have gone to the world long ago."

After going to the human world, if other Taoist priests see it, it will not be a joke.

Even Yin Chen couldn't guarantee that he could save Sijin's life.

Human beings' views on monsters have long been to the point of killing them when they see them, and hating them to the bone.Far more than in the demon world, monsters have a stricter and harsher view of people.

Even Yin Chen, usually in the human world, must restrain his sympathy for monsters, and he must not say anything about pleading for monsters, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable.

At most, it means not thinking about it, not looking at it, and ensuring that the monsters you cut under the blade of your sword are all people who should be killed.

That's why he keeps emphasizing that he must never go to the human world, let alone harm human beings. Otherwise, even if it is him, he may not be sure when the time comes, whether he can guarantee that the other party can continue to live.

So Yin Chen held Sijin in doubt, went out to find a quiet place, and started a one-sided communication with big eyes and small eyes.

Basically, Yin Chen was there to talk, and Si Jin was there to listen.If you can understand, please cooperate, if you can't understand... Yin Chen can't help it.

Yin Chen pushed Sijin who was stuck to him and refused to move for half a step, and said, "Sijin, find a place to hide."

Sijin yawned lazily, laying his forelegs on Yin Chen's hands, rubbing his belly against his palms, showing a coquettish look of trusting him wholeheartedly.

Yin Chen almost wanted to hold Sijin and play with it on the spot again.

Hastily shook his head, cleared his mind, and said to himself several times, "Don't be greedy for beauty, don't be obsessed with touch", this is not known what kind of revealing words, saying: "You hide, let me come and find it, half an hour I didn't find you, so I won't go back today."

Sijin suddenly flicked his two small ears, and looked at Yin Chen with his big black and watery eyes.It was an unprecedented clever appearance, as if asking him "really?"

"Really. So you have to try to hide, and I will use all methods to find you, understand?" Yin Chen said: "'All methods' oh."

Sijin moved his little head, twisted his chubby little buttocks, took two steps back, away from Yin Chen's side, then turned his head, moving nimbly and quickly, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Yin Chen looked at the extremely swift movement that was almost impossible to catch with the naked eye, and finally confirmed that Doudou had said the phrase "four jin is very powerful" countless times these years, and it turned out that it was not a lie.

After standing still and waiting silently for a few breaths, Yin Chen started his search journey.

The first is the search spell, which is the most common method used by Taoist priests to search for monsters.Yin Chen made some changes on it, so that he can specifically find and track the whereabouts of a certain monster.Yin Chen twirled a snow-white hair that he had just taken from Sijin's body from his fingers, and burned it together with the charm. Looking at the gray smoke floating in the air in front of him, Yin Chen began his journey of hunting for monsters.

……

Si Jin is indeed a sparring partner strongly recommended by Doudou, and his ability to hide is really first-class.

Yin Chen wondered if he had set too high a goal all of a sudden, so after half an hour, he walked around the forest several times without thinking, but he couldn't find any trace of Sijin's existence at all.

He obviously used no less than a dozen methods to find Sijin's whereabouts. If it was normal, he would be able to find out the approximate area and direction where Sijin was located, but he still has no clue now. Exactly the same.

Is it really necessary to use that trick?

It's a bit too shameless...

But he said "all methods", so it is not considered opportunistic.Thinking of this, Yin Chen found a cleaner tree root and sat down.Putting down the Jiuxiao in his hand, he took down a flute from his waist, lightly twisted the body of the flute with his fingertips, pointed his thin lips at the blow hole, took a long breath, and a thick, soft, fresh and mellow tune came out of the flute hole.After a while, the sound spread throughout the forest, attracting countless nearby monsters, who ran here in groups, enjoying and quietly stopping to watch and listen to Yin Chen playing.

In the demon world, apart from a few bird demons, no one knows what a "music" is.

I just feel that the magical sound that has never been seen in this world can always easily grab their attention, make them addicted to it, and forget the passage of time.

Playing is the second thing Yin Chen is interested in besides Taoism.So apart from slaying demons and demons, and researching new moves, he spends most of his time in taverns, teahouses, and even brothels and music halls.Because of this, there have been a lot of rumors and romantic anecdotes. Everyone always thinks that young talents and beautiful women are a pair of words that accompany each other, and they are indispensable.But the few musicians and friends who actually have a close relationship with him know that the "famous" "monster exorcist" Kyushu is actually just "apprenticeship" in the past to exchange music theory experience.

It's just because I have a suave and uninhibited personality and don't care much about these gossips, so I never deliberately explain more.No one believed that those tea house buskers and brothel prostitutes would not be moved by the graceful and elegant Yin Chen.So the rumor spread more and more widely, and became more and more popular, and it seemed to become a fixed label on Yin Chen that he couldn't take off.

If possible, Yin Chen would actually prefer that everyone call him a "famous scholar of Qu Zong" instead of calling him a "gentleman" or a "talented Taoist priest", which would make him happier.Because only when playing is the moment when Yin Chen really relaxes himself and enjoys it sincerely, which allows him to feel the purest joy sincerely.

After the song was played, Yin Chen slowly put down the bamboo flute, raised his eyes to look at the nearby scenery.

In the vastness of the forest, among the ancient and simple forests with tens of thousands of trees, there are groups of monsters of different shapes standing in rows.Compared with the literati, scholars and merchants with different ideas in the music hall, perhaps in the primitive and straightforward demon world, it is easier to meet a group of pure and pure audiences.

Yin Chen laughed, and flew towards the treetops somewhere in the east.With a palm, he grabbed a black and white animal from among the leaves, tapped his forehead, and joked, "I knew you would come."

Sijin let out a sad "wu~" and his ears drooped, obviously extremely disappointed.The nape of the neck hung in Yin Chen's fingers and remained motionless, with his limbs hanging down, like a helpless child who was taken from home by his elders to study in the academy.

Yin Chen skillfully put him on his shoulders, and then easily jumped down from a tree more than ten feet high, passing through the many monsters who looked up at him with admiring faces, walked back to the original place, and closed his eyes. Pick up his Jiuxiao and bamboo flute.

Yin Chen said: "I'm not happy with just 'winning'. Next, I will come to play with you when I have new preparations."

Sijin: "nia..."

Yin Chen: "However, when I was looking for you just now, I paid a lot of attention. How about this, let's play in reverse. If you find me during 'hide and seek', then I will stay today, how about it?" ?”

Si Jin's eyes lit up, and finally he hung on Yin Chen's shoulder weakly and remained motionless. He kept getting up, rubbed his head against Yin Chen's face, and then licked his neck several times.

Yin Chen said with a smile: "Want to leave a smell? This may not work."

That being said, in fact, he still let Si Jin move around around him, and even enjoyed it a bit.

After confirming that Sijin was ready, Yin Chen picked up the long sword, sat cross-legged on it, and said, "The time limit is still half an hour."

After speaking, the person sat on the sky and slowly flew away.

Sijin's small head was full of determination, and the unprecedented seriousness shone brightly in his eyes.The surrounding monsters suddenly felt an indescribable sense of oppression, and after being confused for a long time, they finally locked their target on the four-pound "brother" who either slept in the place where Yin Chen disappeared all day, or walked on his calf to find barbecue. "On the body.

I couldn't close my mouth in shock.

Si Jin ran up to catch up with Yin Chen in the direction where Yin Chen disappeared, and disappeared in the sight of all the monsters in a short while.

……

Yin Chen is not so easy to find.

Seeing Sijin whizzing away from him without looking back, Yin Chen covered his mouth and snickered twice, sitting cross-legged on the treetop, taking advantage of this spare time, he began to think about how to improve the convergence talisman even more. Effective.

The current spells are all on a yellow letter that is most likely to be covered by spiritual power, with various runes written in cinnabar.It is simple and efficient, but it is also a bit too straightforward and pale. It is difficult to do more than specifying goals.

Over the years, Yin Chen has been thinking about how to combine two or more spells into one spell to form more powerful and complex runes.However, due to the contradictory nature of the spells, they failed again and again.

A while ago, when I saw a piece of folk magician cheating, he used "Yin-Yang fish" as a fortune teller. For some reason, he was particularly concerned about the circular pattern.

If yin and yang can be combined, what about spells of different nature?

It was just such an unrelated imagination, but Yin Chen came up with a bold hypothesis.He drew a circle on the bark with his fingers, and then wrote a wind and fire rune in the middle of the circle. Looking at this strange pattern, he input a little bit of spiritual power uncertainly——because he failed Yin Chen, who has been trapped too many times by the various results of spells, has learned how to be on the safe side—and then stared at this "alien spell" that he didn't really hold much hope for.

The result was unexpected, and he was dumbfounded, his heart was beating, and he started beating unconsciously.

Wait, what's with this tornado-like flame? !

The flames were fleeting due to the scarcity of spiritual power, Yin Chen's face was so excited that he couldn't restrain himself, he quickly jumped off the big tree, and then ran in another direction without looking back.

After a few breaths, Si Jin suddenly appeared at the place where Yin Chen was doing the experiment just now.Squatting on the treetops, the little black nose constantly sniffed the air.In addition to smelling his favorite Yin Chen, he also smelled the smell of burnt wood, so he shook his little nose and ran away disliked.

Yin Chen is not here.

Yin Chen randomly found a secret cave, and covered the entrance with layers of charms.Then squatted on the ground with an excited expression, took out the yellow paper and cinnabar pen he carried with him from his arms, after thinking for a while, drew a circle, and added a few runes that he was used to .

Frost and flames were mixed together, and countless small sharp ice blades burst out, shooting in all directions, and some of them hit Yin Chen's body, scratching the skin, and sending out bursts of tingling pain.

Yin Chen didn't care, but became even more excited.He discovered that this seemingly ordinary little circle actually had an extraordinary effect!

So throw away the obsolete paper and move on to the next one.

The moment the talisman was activated by spiritual power, the golden light melted into the dirt below.The damp, solid ground suddenly became hard, revealing a pale, hard dry stone, just like the color of bricks tempered by fire.

Yin Chen cheered unconsciously, completely forgot about the hide-and-seek thing, sat cross-legged on the ground regardless of his image, and concentrated on studying.

"So, what effect will this have..."

This research is one day and one night.

The spell up to the entrance of the cave disappeared due to the exhaustion of spiritual power. Si Jin threw himself into Yin Chen's arms with a resentful and aggrieved face, and bit him gently but painfully with his canine teeth on both sides. After taking a sip of Yin Chen, Yin Chen was startled by the passage of time, blinked his extremely sour eyes, and looked at Si Jin.

Finally regaining consciousness, he unconsciously and skillfully stroked the four catties of hair with the palm of his hand, and said, "Oh, it's already half an hour, right? I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

Poor Sijin can't speak, otherwise there would definitely be a lot of complaints to tell Yin Chen at this time.

What "I've been looking for you all day and night", "I thought you left without saying goodbye" and so on.

Yin Chen saw Sijin's unusual anxiety, so he rubbed Sijin's head, laughed and said, "Idiot, as soon as the hide-and-seek is over, I will appear. That's how the rules of the game are!"

Sijin looked at Yin Chen angrily, with a look of "you are lying", and bit Yin Chen's finger again, but no blood came from the bite.

Yin Chen forgot the time when he was researching, he didn't even feel hunger or sleepiness, he just felt a little stiff in his body, so he hugged Sijin, picked up the talisman papers scattered all over the ground, and said, "Let's go. "

After drinking a few sips of water from a nearby stream, Yin Chen said to himself, "Is it because I have stimulated too much spiritual power? Why do I feel a little tired after half an hour has passed?"

Then he yawned and said to Si Jin: "Forget it, I'm not playing anymore, I'd better go back first."

Sijin was sullen, and scratched Yin Chen's paw, causing Yin Chen to yell "Ouch", and had no choice but to take Sijin again.

"What's the matter, I suddenly became impatient... Do you want to eat barbecue? My brother will make it for you."

Si Jin stepped on Yin Chen's face a few times with his soft meat pad angrily, screaming "nia~nia~".

——You look so sleepy, go to bed!

Yin Chen, however, patted Sijin's buttocks which were the meatiest to the touch in a consoling manner, and said, "Okay, okay, I understand, I'll go and catch one for you."

Si Jin shouted frantically: "Na!!"

As a result, not long after, he still enjoyed a delicious meal with Yin Chen honestly.

Yin Chen yawned, put Sijin on Doudou's place, then drowsily held the sword and walked towards the entrance and exit between the two worlds.

But Si Jin escaped Doudou's attention the moment Yin Chen turned around, and ran away with oil on the soles of his feet.He followed Yin Chen worriedly and looked at him from a distance.At first, it was only because of instinct, so I wanted to protect Yin Chen's safety. Later, I suddenly remembered that Yin Chen couldn't find him for a long time yesterday. Containing his breath, he quickly approached Yin Chen, and then quietly climbed onto Yin Chen's cuff.

Yin Chen was struck by drowsiness, his vision was dim, and his body was heavy.I never thought that there would be any accidents on the "own territory", so ignorant, with four catties, they left the demon world together.
