Chapter 22 Three Water Flow Ice(1/2)
The boat flew to the hut, and Li Suo leaned half of his body out of the window, resting his chin on his hand and lazily looking at the crowds on the shore.
Yu Xinghe stood next to Mu Ban and said in a low voice: "Mu Ban, is Senior Brother waiting for someone? He has been looking around since he left the house."
Before Mu Ban could say anything, Li Suo turned his head, picked up the folding fan and hit Yu Xinghe, laughing and scolding: "Little brat, you don't know what the Taoist is behind you, so keep your voice down."
Yu Xinghe didn't feel any pain even after being knocked, and continued to say: "What Xinghe said is true. Senior brother has always been distracted. It seems like..."
He tilted his head and thought for a moment, then said a rebellious word: "...a young girl in love with spring."
Li Suo: "..."
Mu Ban: "..."
Mu Ban quietly moved to the window, so as not to affect him when Yu Xinghe was beaten.
After a while, Yu Xinghe covered his head with tears in his eyes and sobbed, "Brother, Xinghe realizes his mistake."
Li Suo was amused by him: "Does it hurt?"
In fact, it didn't hurt much, but Yu Xinghe always knew what kind of appearance would make people feel more sorry for him. He nodded and said in a sweet voice, "It really hurts."
Li Suo smiled for a long time and waved him over, and Yu Xinghe came over aggrievedly.
Li Suo rubbed his little head and coaxed him: "Does it still hurt?"
Yu Xinghe's eyes narrowed and he lay on Li Suo's legs, saying that it didn't hurt.
Mu Ban pursed his lips and caressed Shen Gurong's feathers carelessly while looking out the window. He didn't know what he was thinking in his heart.
Shen Gurong tilted his head and looked at it. For some reason, he suddenly felt that Xiao Muban seemed to be sad.
Mu Ban stared at the bright lights outside in trance. Suddenly he felt that the little bird that had been docile and letting him pet him was doing something wrong. It avoided his hand and flapped its wings and flew to the side.
Mu Ban's pupils shrank suddenly, and he could no longer hide the panic from his heart. He almost reached out and grabbed the bird in his palm uncontrollably.
His hands on the table were trembling slightly, and he probably knew that his idea was wrong. Mu Ban forced himself to suppress the rising violence in his heart - but that was not easy.
The rage that wanted to destroy everything that tried to escape his control washed over his mind, and Mu Ban's pupils suddenly flashed into dilation in an instant, as if he was possessed by the plague ghost before.
But it only took a moment, and the water-soaked pupils immediately returned to their original state.
Mu Ban suddenly felt physically and mentally exhausted, and even Shen Gurong, who wanted to escape from him, didn't want to care anymore.
"Let him go." Mu Ban thought to himself, "It's not mine in the first place, and it won't belong to me in the end."
He lowered his eyes slightly, unable to hide his tiredness.
At this moment, Mu Ban suddenly felt a strange touch on his arm.
When he looked up, he saw the little red dumpling struggling to climb up his arm.
Mu Ban: "..."
Shen Gurong's wings still hurt slightly. He was a spoiled young master, so he grimaced in pain whenever he moved.
Normally, when he climbed up to Mu Ban's head, Mu Ban would hold him and help him, but this time Mu Ban couldn't move, so he could only use one wing and two short claws to flutter all the way to Mu Ban's shoulders.
He was so exhausted that he took a few breaths on the spot, then pulled Mu Ban's hair and continued to climb up.
Mu Ban looked at him blankly.
Shen Gurong finally rolled up to Mu Ban's head, panted for a while, then flapped one of his wings and jumped lightly.
Mu Ban: "?"
Mu Ban felt the weak yet unignorable force on the top of his head, and his face was confused for a long time, as he didn't understand what it meant.
Seeing that he was still dumbfounded, Shen Gurong jumped up again anxiously.
"Chirp!"
After going back and forth three or four times, Shen Gurong was so tired that he almost stuck out his tongue, and then Mu Ban suddenly realized what he was doing.
Is he... is he comforting himself?
Because no one touched his head, this fat dumpling climbed on top of his head and jumped around. Does it count as... stroking his head?
Mu Ban was really stunned for a long time this time. It was so long that Shen Gurong was so tired that he rolled off his head and fell head first on the small case before he could react.
After being relegated, Mu caught him unawares, pursed his lips slightly, and a soft color flashed in his cold eyes.
He rubbed Shen Gu Rong's little head and whispered, "Does it hurt?"
Shen Gurong didn't feel much pain and chirped softly at him. He seemed to be well-behaved.
Mu Ban smiled, and the gloom just now was gone.
When Shen Gurong saw him smiling, he suddenly had a terrible thought.
Mu Ban could show such a smile to a bird, but he could not call Shen Gurong "Master" in a friendly manner. Every time he saw Shen Fengxue, he was as scared as a mouse seeing a cat.
If he had always been a phoenix and stayed by Mu Ban's side, wouldn't it be more convenient than Shen Fengxue's identity?
Shen Gurong tilted his head and began to think wildly. In the end, he gritted his teeth and thought: If he can really pretend to be a phoenix for a while and go home, then he can consider continuing to tweet, and even tweet in a variety of ways.
As long as he can go home, he can accept anything.
At this moment, the boat suddenly began to shake violently, and with a harsh sound in his ears, the water outside the window instantly rose several feet high, as if it had collided with something.
Yu Xinghe screamed and almost fell off the chair, but was hugged by Li Suo.
Li Suo didn't know what he felt. He placed Yu Xinghe next to Mu Ban with a serious look on his face: "Mu Ban, keep an eye on Xinghe."
River water mixed with flower petals had poured in outside the window, splashing directly on Mu Ban. He was a little frightened. Hearing this, he forced himself to nod: "Yes."
After Lisuo finished speaking, he stretched out two fingers and pulled slightly from the veins of his wrist. Along with the blood marks, he pulled out a spiritual sword from the spiritual veins.
Yu Xinghe held Mu Ban tightly, and when he accidentally saw it, he almost lost his voice in fright: "Brother! You're bleeding!"
Li Suo's face had always been sickly pale. He touched his wrist and the scar disappeared instantly.
He smiled at the two dumplings and said, "It's a small matter."
After saying that, he opened the bamboo curtain and quickly climbed down the wooden ladder of Feilu.
Yu Xinghe was trembling with fear, Mu Ban patted his head and turned his head to look out the window.
There was chaos outside the boat, and the river seemed like a giant dragon entering the sea on a snowy night. Huge giants were tumbling in the river, splashing huge waves of several feet, and some small boats were overturned.
The boy was right. The boat really had the evil talisman of Liren Peak. It was such a mess outside, but the boat was not damaged much. Huge waves swept over it, and it was blocked by a transparent barrier in an instant.
Shen Gurong was shaken so much that he almost vomited. He glanced at the scene outside and kept tweeting with fury.
Mu Ban looked solemn, thinking he was afraid, so he stroked him gently and said, "Don't be afraid."
Shen Gurong: "Chirp, chirp - chirp!"
In the chaos, a pastry hit Shen Gurong's head, knocking back his unfinished message.
Seeing the stormy waves outside, Mu Ban silently mobilized his spiritual energy, trying to use his few spiritual energy to form a barrier to protect the two of them, just in case.
The spiritual power slowly gathered in the spiritual veins to form a gurgling stream. After eliminating the noise around him, an extremely recognizable voice suddenly broke into his ears, knocking him completely unconscious.
Shen Gurong shouted in a hoarse voice.
"There are water ghosts, water ghosts that can eat people!"
"Isn't it said that water ghosts can trick living people into the water to escape from reincarnation? I looked at him today, he... could he be here to catch me as a scapegoat?!"
"Brother Headmaster! Brother, help!"
Mu Ban: "..."
There was a blank moment on Mu Ban's young face. He stared at the little red bird lying on the table in disbelief, feeling that he should be in a ridiculous dream.
He was stunned for a long time. The rough waves outside had completely stopped. The riverside was as quiet as a deep pool. All the flower petals that were originally like a tapestry were blown to the shore. Even the lanterns set by the people were gone.
The entire Snowy Night River was calm as never before.
Li Suo walked up from the wooden ladder with his sword in hand and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the two of them were fine.
When Yu Xinghe saw him, he immediately rushed over and said in fear: "Brother, what happened just now? Is there a ghost cultivator?"
Li Suo coaxed him: "It's okay, it's just a little water ghost. Now it has been beaten away by Zhu Xie."
Yu Xinghe felt relieved now, but he was still so scared that he held on to Li Suo's hand and refused to let go.
Li Suo led Yu Xinghe back, and when he saw Mu Ban with a lost look on his face, he thought he was frightened. Just as he was about to comfort him, he heard a sound coming from under the wooden ladder.
"Sir! Sir, are you okay?!"
"I...I'm fine, no...he escaped."
"You have tried your best. If you were not feeling unwell, you would have subdued the water ghost with one blow!"
"Yes, yes, sir, let's get off the boat first."
"No……"
Then there was a sound of heavy footsteps coming down the wooden ladder, as if someone was coming up.
Lisuo was stunned.
When Shen Gurong heard that the water ghost had been beaten away, he immediately gave up.
To be continued...
