smile to heart

========================

During the rush, Fang Jin informed the next itinerary in advance: "Well, after a few more miles, we will arrive at the Cangjiang River. When the time comes, we will take the water route and avoid going around a few mountains. It will be faster."

Mu Yun, who was absent-minded, turned his mind back, looked at him squarely, and smiled slightly.

Fang Jin was inexplicably startled, stopped involuntarily, and looked back at him sideways, with an unidentified attachment in his gaze.

"It's all up to you."

It didn't take long for Mu Yun to realize that he hadn't replied yet, and he was a little impolite. He was afraid of hurting his goodwill, so he reacted first.

"... Cough. Good."

Fang Jin realized her gaffe, and turned around, her face flushed slightly.

Holding the hand of the horse, he loosened it unconsciously, and the rope almost fell to the ground. Before he could pick it up, the person beside him picked up the rein first: "Let me do it."

"Well, thank you." He nodded his head.

They walked to the deep forest in the outskirts, the grassy path twisted and twisted, the background of the luxuriant leaves was green, and the sky blue, light yellow, pink flowers of various colors sprang out from the shrubs, smiling against Mu Yun's figure , Refreshing and elegant.

I heard that the other party has returned to vulgarity. When he was on his way earlier, Fang Jin deliberately lent him his spare set of slightly larger light silver Chinese clothes. Not like ordinary people.

Looking at it carefully, Fang Jin felt ashamed, lowered his head, and praised: "Brother Mu Yun is really talented and handsome. When I lost my mind just now, I almost thought you were some kind of wandering fairy..."

Upon hearing this, Qi Zhong's voice and appearance suddenly appeared in Mu Yun's mind.

In the past, the old man broke a branch of red maple, hid it behind his back, and teased him.At that time, Mu Yun turned around and bumped into him by chance, and wanted to say hello.Qi Zhong raised the branches first and dipped them in the water. In the setting sun, they swayed like rain, and then tapped the maple leaf branches on his shoulders, teasing him: "Hey...whose family is a wandering fairy? Linshui takes a photo, sees Xiasi people Woolen cloth……"

At that time, Mu Yun only felt that he was too boring, so he made fun of himself, and politely laughed back at him: "Please read less scripts, brother Qi..."

"Hey you. Do you understand that I'm praising you? I don't care what books I read... Really..."

With the old man behind him, jumping up and down and shouting, he walked away full of joy.

……

In a blink of an eye, it's been a lifetime.

Hearing these similar words again, Mu Yun's heart ached suddenly, and he was powerless to lower his red eyes.

Seeing that he was absent-minded, Fang Jin didn't answer herself, mistakenly thinking that he didn't hear it, and she was a little relieved, wondering if she was out of her mind just now?Why praise a man's appearance?

Thinking about it, he couldn't help turning his eyes to Mu Yun, looking at his handsome side face and fair collarbone...He thought to himself: Before this person became a monk, he must have a beautiful appearance and a gorgeous side, maybe he is a girl What about the lover of your dreams...

It's a pity that he has his own heart, this person is still looking for an old friend who has disappeared, and he is going to promise a marriage, it is infatuated.Fang Jin sighed in her heart, feeling a sense of loss for no reason.

It was almost dusk, and the two rushed to the border of the Cangjiang River. Before they approached the pier to see if there were any boats watching, a large stone suddenly appeared in front of them, blocking the way.

Feeling a bad premonition, Fang Jin hurried forward to observe the inscription carved by the government on the stone: It turns out that there has been a flood in the past few days, which broke the river embankment and directly affected the downstream. Even if there is a waterway, the government ordered it not to be allowed, for fear of causing greater losses.

"Why is it happening like that……"

Fang Jin crossed his hips, sighed, unwilling to look at the path behind the stone, and saw the lonely and desolate pier in the distance. The mud and rocks that were washed away everywhere proved what the heavy rain did.

"Unfortunately, this road is blocked, we can't take the waterway."

He turned his head wearily, and sighed at Mu Yun.

Seeing his dejected look, Mu Yun asked, "Is it only by water?"

"Not really." Fang Jin pinched her chin, thoughtfully, "It's just that there is a hurdle in another road, and I don't know what to do, so I dare not go."

"..."

Mu Yun didn't answer the conversation hastily, he didn't know the place well, so he was afraid of making him feel disgusted, so he patiently waited for the next sentence.

"Hey, but that's the only way to go right now. But Yuanxia Ridge is a famous strange place in the city. People who pass by there either disappear inexplicably, or have incomplete bones...It's gloomy, and some people say it's because of Fengshui there. not good……"

Fang Jin trembled for a while, and became much less courageous.

This subtle gap caused Mu Yun to be disappointed for a moment, and he asked again: "Why did you say that?"

Fang Jin leaned over and said quietly: "This is absurd. Let alone the fact that there are many ghosts and ghosts there, it is not good to just talk about the name. Isn't Yuanxia Ridge a homonym for Yuanxia Ridge? Doesn't it mean that The heroes who pass by there should not even try to escape..."

As he spoke, he waved his hands and made expressions, as if he had been there himself.

Mu Yun smiled and remained silent.

"...How is it? Isn't it scary?" Fang Jin asked emphatically again.

Mu Yunlue nodded, looked at the burning clouds in the sky, and said rationally: "But didn't you say before that you would go to Kunlun Mountain to learn art from a teacher and kill demons? Now a story passed down by everyone makes you shy gone?"

"Huh? No, no! Who said I'm afraid? I, I... just think that road is too far away, so I don't want to go."

The more Fang Jin spoke, the more confident she became, but she was unwilling to stubbornly refute.

Mu Yun sighed helplessly. He wanted to persuade him to go home and avoid these risky things, but he couldn't bear to disobey his longing for the distant place, so he nodded: "Then, let's continue on our way."

"Well...you, are you still with me?" Fang Jin looked a little hesitant.

Mu Yun frowned slightly: "Is it not possible?"

"Ah, yes, of course. I'm just afraid that you think it's dangerous there, so you won't go with me. I didn't expect you to be so righteous. I really didn't make you a friend in vain."

Fang Jin heaved a sigh of relief, knowing that he could still be accompanied by a journey of mountains and rivers, he was inexplicably more happy.

……

"Cuckoo - cluck -"

In the dark old forest, a few pairs of blue eyes hid in the dark, and the hooting of owls rang out from time to time.

A gust of cold wind swished from the dark depths in front of him, rushing through Fang Jin's arms, and the moon-white clothes poured into the cold, making him shiver slightly.

Mu Yundan glanced at this detail, lightly untied the cassock in his hand, put it on his shoulders, and tied it carefully for him, saying in a light tone, "The night is cool, beware of the wind and cold."

Fang Jin's eyes brightened for a moment, and she was about to ask a question.Mu Yun went on to explain: "I have been traveling all year round, and I am used to eating and sleeping in the open air. You should pay attention to it because you don't often travel far."

"Ah."

Thousands of words were pressed back into her throat, Fang Jin took a deep breath, her intuition was moved and surprised, and she even forgot to express her gratitude.

The two walked silently to the center of the mountain. The big tree above their heads was like a canopy. Only the gaps between the branches and leaves cut the cold light from the lonely moon in the night sky into irregular pieces, which stuck to their shoulder sleeves from time to time. On the sleeves.

The further you go, the weirder the woods become.Coincidentally, a large black cloud passed over the head, covering the moon and making the forest even darker.

"Surther--squeak--"

There was a strange sound in the grass, and Fang Jin glanced there nervously, but there was no movement. Just as he turned his head, several black shadows crossed and drifted past the dense forest in front of him, only for a moment.

"what--"

Fang Jin yelled, Mu Yun stopped and looked back at him.

"How……"

Before the questioning was finished, the person rushed over first, grabbed his sleeve tightly, and looked up at him: "You, you go ahead, okay?"

Mu Yun coughed dryly, nodded and said, "Yes."

Fang Jin felt a little more at ease, and stopped rushing forward, and followed Mu Yun closely, never leaving her.

At the end of the forest road is a small path.

In the gaps between the dense branches and leaves, there are faint lights, and there is a burst of joking laughter from a woman in the distance.

Fang Jin stopped, and when he heard the human voice, he calmed down even more and calmed down: "Hey, there is a house with a light on in front, let's go and stay overnight."

Mu Yun frowned deeply and didn't answer. He keenly felt a monster aura permeating the surroundings, but Feng Mei borrowed most of the spiritual power, and the perceived power was much weaker, so he couldn't confirm it for a while.

"Let's go, let's go. It's good luck. Now we don't need to use the sky as a quilt and the earth as a bed."

Fang Jin pulled Mu Yun over excitedly, almost forgot to lead the horse, and ran straight to the lamp.

After pulling for a while, Fang Jin found that it couldn't move, so Fang Jin looked back.It wasn't that Mu Yun didn't cooperate, but that the horse he was pulling was backing off again.

Fang Jin plucked up his courage, reconnected the rope, and pulled hard: "Let me do it. What a cowardly horse, worthless..."

At the end of the path, a gorgeous cottage stands in front of you, brightly lit by candles, and the door is slightly open.

Hearing the knock on the door, a group of beautiful and brightly dressed women came out of the room, looking at the two meaningfully.

"Hello, sisters. We are pedestrians passing by here. It's dark and we have nowhere to stay. We saw that the lights here are still on, so we came to bother you. I hope you can kindly take us in for a night."

Hearing Fang Jin's question, the group of women stared at him and whispered to each other.

"Oh. Don't worry, we won't pay less for the accommodation."

Mistaking it for not mentioning the money, Fang Jin added another sentence.

At this time, a slightly older woman in white came forward and said cheerfully, "It's easy to talk about it. Please go among the two."

After the woman in white finished speaking, she gave the people behind her a wink, and made way twice.

A servant took Fang Jin's horse and walked to the backyard.Fang Jin didn't think too much, and even said thank you, and entered the house surrounded by a group of people.

Mu Yun stepped forward lightly, and said politely, "I'm sorry."

The cleanliness in her eyes and the righteousness all over her body made the white-clothed woman feel guilty for a while. She caught a glimpse of the shadow of a magic talisman under Mu Yun's sleeve. .Please come in."

After hastily pushing him into the house, the woman's expression calmed down a little.

"Sisters, don't treat the guests well."

With an order, the rest of the women understood the meaning and brought up a lot of delicacies and fruits.

"Cripple, watch tea."

The woman in white turned around and gave instructions to the old man behind the door leading the horse.

Mu Yun looked around and took a closer look at the faces of those women. It seemed that he was afraid in advance, and there was no unnecessary change.

When the lame servant came to serve tea, Mu Yun paid attention to him again, and found that his walking posture was weird, and he was not lame.

Like a...toad/toad.

Mu Yun suddenly understood that this toad monster is not very good at Taoism, and its real body is easy to show.

Now these goblins are good at disguising, and they have already coaxed Fang Jin.Mu Yun was thinking about how to ensure his safety, Feng Mei seemed to have received his voice, and hastily returned a lot of spiritual power to him.

The women surrounded Fang Jin and drank the ecstasy soup for a long time, trying to coax him into trusting him.

Hearing Fang Jin's thanks, everyone smiled at each other, and when they secretly looked at Mu Yun, they looked away in fear.
