Chapter 412 He is the Cannon Fodder Phoenix Man (52)
There are no surprises.
The place where He Shu lived back then was in Yicheng.
But he didn't live on Mount Yi with the old monk who picked him up.
In fact, no ordinary people lived on Mount Yi or at the foot of the mountain, whether it still existed or after its spiritual veins were flattened.
Because Xuanmen will not allow it.
They arrived at an ordinary mountain forest on the other side of Yicheng.
The small temple, which is now in a dilapidated state, is indeed called Moxu Temple. It seems that He Shu has not been back for many years.
As soon as they pushed the courtyard gate that looked shaky but was still strong with a rusty lock on it, the two wooden doors fell down as expected, causing a large cloud of dust to fly.
"Cough cough cough..."
He Shu looked awkwardly at Si Cen, who was coughing due to the dust, and said dryly, "I didn't expect it to be broken like this. I just tried to push it..."
Rong Jue reached out and stroked Si Cen's back, and handed him the thermos cup.
Si Cen drank two sips of warm water to calm himself down, then said to He Shu, "A house without people will decay quickly. This is your hometown after all. Don't you come back to visit every year?"
He Shu was even more embarrassed, "I'm short of money..."
Thinking that all the travel expenses for their return trip were paid by Si Cen, He Shu blushed.
Si Cen: "...It's really not easy for you."
I've seen poor people, but I've never seen people as poor as this one.
After all, there are no supernatural beings in this world anymore, which is why it is so difficult for He Shu to make a living by cheating and deceiving others.
But this He Shu was too obsessed with the esoteric arts, somewhat stubborn and one-track-minded. Apart from studying the esoteric arts in the notebooks, which were beyond his level of understanding, he had no other means of survival. For a man with healthy hands and feet, it was what he deserved to end up like this.
Si Cen couldn't say whether what he did was right or wrong. After all, it was the path he chose, and he had to bear all the consequences.
"Let's go in and pack up and see if we can settle down. It will get colder at night." Rong Jue glanced at Si Cen's fingers tucked into his down jacket and said in a low voice.
An hour later, they managed to settle down in the simply tidied room.
This place is even more remote than the wilderness, and He Shu has been away for many years, so it is naturally dilapidated and nothing is left.
The water they used was large bottles of purified water that He Shu had the foresight to remind the others to buy before they went up the mountain.
For dinner, I just had some bread and snacks that I brought with me on the road.
They agreed to visit the grave together after dawn the next day. He Shu tactfully went to his room so as not to disturb Si Cen and Rong Jue's rest - although he really wanted to ask Rong Jue to give him some pointers on the formations and mysterious techniques in the notebook that he could not understand.
Rong Jue originally thought that since Cen Cen was so pampered, she would definitely think that this place was too shabby and the conditions were too simple.
As it turned out, he seemed to be quite used to it. He didn't complain while lying on the hard wooden board. Instead, he comforted Rong Jue, "It's a little broken here, but at least there are walls and roofs to block the wind. Rong Rong, hold on a little longer. We'll go see old man Zhang's grave tomorrow. If nothing unexpected happens, we'll go down the mountain tomorrow afternoon. Then I'll take you to a hotel and have a big meal~"
Rong Jue laughed, "Do I look like someone who cares about these things?"
Si Cen pouted, "You look like a germaphobe! And I know all the bad habits you had when you were in Xiaolou. Just be brave and be yourself in front of me. I don't think you're a spoiled child!"
Rong Jue: ...
He just doesn't like his private residence to be disturbed by others. As for cleanliness, isn't that common sense for normal people? At most, he is just... a little strict about cleanliness. How come this little guy says it's a problem?
"Hey, come here!" Si Cen pulled him over, pressed him on the wooden bed, and laughed, "Come to think of it, no matter how small this little temple is, it was still a temple. Although there are no Buddha statues inside now, but... if it's in a place like this, wouldn't it be exciting?"
Seeing how eager he was to try, Rong Jue was speechless.
He is a member of the Xuanmen sect, so naturally he has a sense of awe.
In a place like this, it is indeed inappropriate and should not be...
He reached out to control Si Cen who was eager to try, and said in a gentle voice, "Cen Cen, stop making trouble."
Si Cen liked his serious look, hehehe, he stretched out his claws with a smile, "Hehehe, little beauty~ just obey me..."
Rong Jue: ...
Rong Jue subdued him with his backhand, and with a flip, the two of them fell upside down.
He controlled Si Cen's hands with both hands, and said helplessly, "Cen Cen, no."
Si Cen was just teasing him on purpose, but when he took it so seriously, Cen Cen's rebellious nature came out.
"Cen Cen, don't you know whether it's possible or not? I'll do it, ......"
Rong Jue knew Si Cen's abilities. Even if Si Cen seriously resisted him, he would not be his match.
Two people were quarreling in the dark room, making the bed creak. In fact, they were just fighting.
But it sounded different to He Shu who was sitting next door.
Although He Shu is not a regular monk, he is a regular single old bachelor!
The sound made his face turn red, and he thought that this was once a temple where Buddha statues were enshrined. He suddenly felt very sinful, so he had to close his eyes and recite scriptures continuously, praying to the Buddha and his master in the underworld not to blame him.
Si Cen, who was making a big fuss in the next room, naturally had no idea that He Shu was chanting sutras to help them alleviate their sins.
But he felt that Rong Jue, who was fighting against him, suddenly stiffened. He didn't know the reason, but he seized this opportunity, lifted his long legs and pushed Rong Jue off his body, then turned over and pinned the other party.
"Hehe~ I still win!" He put his hands on his hips proudly.
Obviously, he had forgotten the original intention of this "fight" and only remembered the outcome.
Rong Jue's face was hidden in the darkness, making it difficult to see his expression. For some reason, he kept one hand in his jacket pocket, and with his other hand he supported Si Cen, who was moving around in triumph, to prevent him from falling. He said in a low, hoarse voice, "Well, Master Cen Cen won, that's awesome!"
Si Cen looked down at him suspiciously, feeling that something was not right with him.
It was a pity that the darkness could not block Si Cen's sight, but Rong Jue suddenly pressed Si Cen against himself, forcing his face to be pressed against the side of his neck, blocking him from seeing his face.
"Stop making trouble. We have to get up early tomorrow. We have been riding in a car and climbing mountains today. We are exhausted all day. Let's rest early."
His voice was very gentle, and his gesture of stroking the back of Si Cen's head in a soothing and begging manner was very familiar, making Si Cen so comfortable that he quickly fell asleep. Finally, enveloped in Rong Jue's familiar scent, Si Cen finally fell asleep with his eyes closed.
There was silence in the darkness for a long, long time.
Rong Jue slowly pulled his left hand out of his coat pocket.
The hand suddenly flashed in front of his eyes and appeared to be in a virtual state. Even if it fell on Si Cen's hair, it went straight through and failed to grab even a single hair.
It's like being completely isolated in two worlds, unable to touch each other.
Although this state will not last forever, the hand will soon return to normal.
But Rong Jue knew that he didn't have much time left.
He is being rejected by this world. If he stays any longer, it will be like this, he will be erased bit by bit.
He was not afraid of dying in this world, but...
He has to go back and eliminate all the hidden dangers on Mount Yi so that Cen Cen can continue to live a stable and happy life in this world.
