17, the seventeenth beep(1/2)
The night is deep and the moon is missing.
Sesshomaru sat under a tree and took a nap with his velvet tail on his back.
A gentle breeze picked up a few strands of his silver hair; the frost covered it, diluting his indifference a little. It seemed that only when he closed his eyes and said nothing, the moonlight could take the opportunity to get close to him and melt away his sharpness.
However, rest must come to an end.
Sesshomaru opened his eyes, and it was even colder than before. He didn't look back in the direction of Inuyama, he just stood up and walked away.
Not long after, he breathed out from between his lips and teeth: "Idiot."
The person he was scolding was the ignorant half-demon.
In fact, he said "if you can find me alive", but Sesshomaru did not leave Inuyama very far. He just found a random forest to rest and wait for the result.
Waiting to see if Aizen will fight back and whether the half-demon has the courage to leave.
If he leaves, it means that the half-demon has voluntarily cut off contact with humans and chosen to follow the bloodline and follow the path of a monster.
In this way, as long as the half-demon is willing to abandon his human heart and prove his courage, then for the sake of his bloodline, Sesshomaru would not mind taking him for a while and teaching him how to use his claws and sharp teeth.
And staying here means that the half-demon cannot give up the bond with humans, chooses to obey emotions and rot among humans, and will not be the same person as him.
Just wait, wait...
The funny thing is that until the moon was at its peak, except for him taking a nap in the forest, there was not even a stray person who came to the door.
He overestimated him.
A half-demon is still a half-demon. Even if the blood belonging to a monster flows in his body, he cannot become a real monster. He even has no desire to become a monster.
It's really sad.
The half-demon's choice was reasonable, but it was also beyond his expectation. He originally thought that the half-demon would have some backbone, but he didn't expect that he was wrong.
Idiot, immeasurably stupid.
Sesshomaru was convinced that if Aizen approached the half-demon for the second time, the half-demon would not be able to survive.
However, this has nothing to do with him anymore. From the moment the half-demon chose a human, it was a destined knot... huh?
There was a soft sound of "ta da da da", which was the sound of trotting footsteps. Stepping over the rocks in the creek, splashing clear water, the ups and downs were accompanied by falling leaves and branches, which seemed very brisk.
Rarely, Sesshomaru opened his golden eyes slightly, turned his face and looked behind him. He saw the three-headed half-demon pushing through the grass and emerging, and his eyes brightened slightly when he saw him.
"Brother." Yuanyi stood up, patted his sleeves, raised his head, and saluted with a straight shot, "I was late and kept you waiting."
Sesshomaru:......
The big monster looked down at him with a cold expression: "How did you do it?"
The reason is unclear.
"Smell." Sesshomaru said calmly, "Why doesn't your body smell?"
It's not too far from Inuyama to the countryside, and it's not close at all. There are no big demons but also miscellaneous things along the way. Even if the half-demon is lucky enough to avoid all dangers, can it still prevent the smell from leaking?
However, he really didn't smell anything at all. Why?
"Is it the smell?" Yuan Yi knew everything, "That's the effect of the breathing method, brother."
"Breathing allows the exchange of qi inside and outside the body, and allows the exchange of internal and external forces, and even fusion. As long as you can breathe, there will be no smell on your body."
As long as you can breathe, there is no smell?
As long as you can breathe?
Sesshomaru:......
Yuan said everything, but the level of communication was not very high: "Brother, if you need to breathe, I will teach you."
Sesshomaru:......
Listening to the half-demon's chattering, Sesshomaru felt his knuckles itching. For some reason, he wanted to use his fingers to knock on the half-demon's head and cut open the water that was sloshing around his head.
But as an adult dog demon, it would be outrageous to argue with a cub.
Sesshomaru was silent for a moment, then turned and strode away.
Now that the half-demon has found him, he will naturally fulfill his promise. He just keeps him with him for a while, so he won't be unable to keep a half-demon.
However, how long and how to carry a half-demon depends on his mood. But now, his mood is very average.
Therefore, Sesshomaru did not slow down because there was a cub behind him, nor did he choose a relatively smooth road.
He expected that the half-demon would fall down and complain and cry, or get up and move forward with gritted teeth, or beg him to walk slower. But what he didn't expect was that the half-demon would not only keep up with his pace, but also...
…Easy?
Yuan Xiao ran beside Sesshomaru: "Brother, where are we going?"
My breathing is not disturbed and I am still in the mood to chat.
Probably because his "brother" was used to being a half-demon and couldn't change his words, Sesshomaru didn't bother to correct him and just said: "Find a place to spend the night."
"A place to spend the night..." Yuanyi was a little curious, "So do monsters also need to spend the night?"
Sesshomaru:......
He paused, Sesshomaru was not a talkative person, and he had no intention of chatting. But now, listening to Yuichi's idiotic question, he frowned.
"Stupid half-demon, what do you think a monster is?"
Yuanyi really doesn't know what monsters are. He only saw evil ghosts in his previous life, and all his knowledge of monsters in this life comes from Mingjia.
Yuan Yishi said sincerely: "Grandpa Mingjia said that monsters are monsters that don't sleep at night and specialize in catching human children to eat. Brother, is that true?"
Sesshomaru:......
His knuckles began to itch again, and the big monster who had never dealt with cubs found that it was a stupid way to explain that monsters were not that boring, or to bluntly tell Mingga that he was talking nonsense.
Because explanations will cause new doubts, and new doubts require more explanations.
Sesshomaru didn't want to cause trouble, so he simply said: "Shut up, half-demon, and follow quietly."
There was indeed no sound behind them, only the soft sound of trotting. They walked like this for a long time, with the big monster leading the way domineeringly, and the half-demon following briskly.
The moonlight poured down, elongating the two shadows. There were little monsters clinging to the shadows. They stared greedily at the back of the half-demon, but they were afraid of the big monster's momentum and did not dare to approach.
Wandering and wandering, they waited for the half-demon to be alone. Unexpectedly, they were greeted by the slowed-down pace of the big demon.
After walking for so long, the half-demon's breathing is still steady and his speed has not slowed down. It seems that the so-called "breathing method" is indeed true. Sesshomaru thought so.
Suddenly, Sesshomaru asked: "Who taught you the breathing method, Aizen?"
Yuanyi shook his head: "I was born with the breathing technique."
Sesshomaru:......
The big youkai calmly stared at the hair on Yui Yi's head, but in the end he didn't lift his finger. This half-demon had no room to continue being stupid.
The night is getting darker.
Yuanyi couldn't tell what time it was, but he only knew that the wind was getting colder and colder. Only then did his brother stop and tell him that he had found a place to spend the night.
It is not a wine shop or a farmhouse, nor a palace or residence, but a windproof cave made of huge rocks on three sides.
His brother didn't mind the roughness of the place to stay. He chose a place of his own accord and leaned down on his velvet tail. A large part of the long, snow-white velvet tail was leaking out. Yuan Yi picked up the package and wanted to get closer.
But he was stared at by his brother.
Sesshomaru: "Half-demon, find your own place."
Yuanyi's dog ears drooped slightly, he gently put down the package, raised his feet and ran out.
The half-demon had been following him for a long time, and his scent was on his body. Sesshomaru was not worried that the half-demon would be captured by the bastards. However, he ran away angrily just because he refused to approach him. It was indeed a bad lesson from humans.
Oh, in human cities there are fine clothes, fine food, and warm bedding, but there is nothing outside.
Even if the half-demon is not used to it, he has to get used to it. Unless he runs back to Inuyama Castle, don't think that he is a child and that he has to take care of him.
There is no so-called kinship between monsters as humans, and most of them are blood relatives fighting each other. His decision to take him for a while was a great kindness.
If you don't come back, you'll die outside.
Thinking like this, Sesshomaru closed his eyes and rested his mind.
However, he didn't expect that Yuanyi didn't leave because of his temper, but came back carrying a large bundle of firewood.
Then, under Sesshomaru's gaze, Yuan piled up dry firewood in a row and used his spell to light a fire. Under the bright light, he took the hay next to the firewood and spread it on the ground, and spread it neatly into two large sheets.
"Brother, the smell of hay is not pungent." Yuan Yiyi said, "Please rest on the hay for a while."
Sesshomaru:......
After all, he was a man who ran away from home in his previous life and still had to support himself. Yuanyi's ability to survive in the wild was simply off the charts. He surrounded the campfire with stones and blocked the excess firewood outside the hay to prevent the straw mat from being blown away by the wind.
After doing all this, he took out the Encyclopedia of Kidō as a pillow and covered himself with another set of sleeves and hakama in the package.
Yuanyi lay quietly outside Velvet Tail and yawned a little: "Brother, don't stay too far from the fire, you will catch a cold."
Sesshomaru:......
Bonfires and straw mats are superfluous things for a big monster, but they seem to be necessary for a half-demon.
To be continued...
