Self-cultivation in the world of monster hunting

Xingyuan slept until midnight, and vaguely sensed that the beads made of his petals were approaching.

He only gave away two beads in total, one for Lu Xiang and one for...

Just as the appearance of that person appeared in Xingyuan's mind, the real person also appeared in front of Xingyuan.

Xingyuan was speechless for a while, looking through the window at Meng Xi'an sitting on the tree branch outside the window.

The two looked at each other without speaking. Xingyuan turned over and faced the wall and closed his eyes, but he couldn't fall asleep anyway. He counted with his fingers. Meng Xi'an followed him silently, already There are 570 nine days.

Xingyuan is Wanyang who left after Meng Chengyan's funeral.At that time, he accompanied Meng Xi'an to organize Meng Chengyan's funeral, and accompanied Meng Xi'an through a difficult time.

Meng Xi'an didn't have time to participate in Ming Zizhen's new round of "battle against demons". It's not that he didn't want to avenge his elder brother, but when Meng Chengyan's funeral was over, Yu Luzhou was already dead.He had to learn to let go of the resentment and hatred in his heart and come out from the past.

According to his promise, he made public all the truth about the battle of killing demons that he knew, and then dismissed all the disciples of the Meng family, and returned everything that belonged to Yumen.

Even if Lu Xiang didn't want it anymore, he didn't want to occupy it ignorantly.

From then on, there is no Wanyang Meng family in this world, and there is no second son Meng. He has nothing, but he has gained real freedom.

At that time, Xingyuan had been quietly by his side, giving him silent support, but when all the dust settled, Xingyuan left quietly, not even saying goodbye to Meng Xi'an.

It's just that the rope that Meng Xi'an tied to Xing Yuan's wrist prevented Xing Yuan from escaping from Meng Xi'an's side. As long as this rope was there, Xing Yuan would be found by Meng Xi'an no matter what.

Xingyuan reached out and touched his wrist, although there was nothing there, Xingyuan could feel that the constant connection between him and Meng Xi'an was here.

So Xingyuan couldn't fall asleep, and couldn't help but think of a long time ago, when he just opened his mind.

Xingyuan was originally just a wild flower growing on the mountain. Because of good luck, the place where it grew was a blessed place with abundant spiritual energy. In just a few decades, Xingyuan developed spiritual wisdom.He remembered vaguely that Meng Xi'an was very young at that time, about ten years old, and when he went up the mountain to play around and saw him, he dug him back and raised him in the yard.

Later, Xingyuan gradually developed human facial features, and when he opened his eyes, the first person he saw was Meng Xi'an.

What happened later was very simple, Meng Xi'an gave him a name, so they grew up with each other, became intimate with each other, and regarded each other as the most important friend.

At that time, Meng Xi'an protected Xingyuan very well. He didn't know that in the eyes of the rest of the Meng family, even though he had a human appearance, he was still just a lowly monster, no different from a captive animal. .

As the days went by, Xingyuan gradually realized that years of staying together and being with him gave him a different feeling for Meng Xi'an.It's a pity that he didn't come to think clearly about his intentions, but Meng Chengyan saw it first.

Naturally, Meng Chengyan would not allow him, a lowly monster, to have anything to do with the Second Young Master Meng, so if he made it difficult for him a little bit, the rest of the Meng disciples were also instructed, and they still had trouble with Xingyuan.At that time, Xingyuan was young and vigorous, and he refused to obey them, which annoyed many people.

Later, the Meng family stole some pills and spirit weapons for no reason, and a disciple guarding these things died unfortunately, so they pointed the finger at Xingyuan, and almost everyone insisted that he, a lowly monster, was responsible.

Xingyuan didn't have anything to fear at all, but when Meng Chengyan insisted that he was the one to kill, Meng Xi'an hesitated and didn't immediately express his trust in him.

At that time, Xingyuan only felt that the sky was falling and the earth was falling. Although Meng Xi'an promised that he would find out the truth of the matter, Xingyuan no longer trusted him, and then he took the opportunity and ran away.At that time, Xingyuan had been seriously injured by Meng Chengyan, if he hadn't been picked up by Lu Xiang, he might have died.

Afterwards, it was an adventure with Lu Xiang. He had already made up his mind not to meet Meng Xi'an in this life, but now they are still entangled.

It has been more than 500 days, Xingyuan ran around, and Meng Xi'an chased him everywhere.

Xingyuan was really tired afterwards, because he didn't like the life of wandering around at all, he just hoped to find a piece of blessed land, build a small wooden house, and then not go anywhere.He is a flower in the first place, and it needs to be in a good place, and the roots of the flower should be planted in solid ground, so that it can grow well.

So he simply didn't care about Meng Xi'an anymore, he built a log cabin on this mountain by himself, and lived his life well by himself.Meng Xi'an also didn't mean to force Xingyuan, he didn't disturb Xingyuan, but always stayed by Xingyuan's side, as long as he turned his head, Xingyuan could see him.

Occasionally, if he hears that there is a monster somewhere, Meng Xi'an will leave temporarily to deal with it, but he will come back in three or four days at most.

A few days ago, Meng Xi'an left for a while, and came back in the middle of the night today, and then just sat on the branch of a tree and looked at Xingyuan.

Although their current situation is a bit weird, it seems that there is no better solution, because until now, Xingyuan has never been able to forgive Meng Xi'an.

Xingyuan realized that the problem between him and Meng Chengyan was not only that the death of the disciple of the Meng family caused them to distrust each other, but more importantly, Xingyuan discovered the inequality between them—such as the root in his hand now. The rope, and the first time he faced Yu Luzhou, Meng Xi'an protected him without asking him a word.

He understood his feelings for Meng Xi'an, and understood Meng Xi'an's feelings for him, but Xingyuan still couldn't pass the test in his heart.

He wants Meng Xi'an's love, but he doesn't want to look up to each other, don't harbor distrust, what he wants is a love that is equal and respects each other.

The current Meng Xi'an may not understand it, and Xing Yuan doesn't know what to say to him, so he spends it like this day by day.

The first snow fell, and the spring came back again. More than 500 days have passed, and they are still accompanied and alienated from each other in such a strange way.

Xingyuan couldn't fall asleep, so he simply got up and started tidying up the guest room.

A few days ago, Lu Xiang wrote back to him, saying that he would come to see him in the next few days, and brought him some gadgets bought along the way.This was probably the happiest thing Xingyuan had done these days, so he felt very happy even after tidying up the guest room.

Counting the time, Xingyuan stood on the top of the hill at noon and waited for the two of them.Meng Xi'an silently followed behind Xingyuan, like a tail that Xingyuan grew out of thin air.

Not long after, Xingyuan heard Lu Xiang's yelling from the forest. Lu Xiang hurriedly jumped up to the top of the tree to have a look, just in time to see Sijun flying towards him with Lu Xiang in his arms.

Xingyuan couldn't help rolling his eyes when he saw the two, and said loudly: "Lu Xiang, you can fly! Why are you hugging again! Don't you feel tired of crooked people?"

Lu Xiang didn't answer his question, but waved to him from a distance and called "Little Flower".

Xingyuan shrugged helplessly, but felt very happy.Waiting for these two people to fall in front of him, Lu Xiang couldn't help rushing over to hug him.

"Xiaohua, I miss you so much!" Lu Xianggang shouted, and saw Lu Xiaoji and Lu Xiaogu jumping out of the Qiankun bag, hugging his legs and acting like a spoiled child.

Xingyuan was almost dying of being hugged by Lu Xiang's bear hug, Sijun finally pulled Lu Xiang's collar away unbearably, and said, "Okay."

"Ghost Jianchou is still so stingy, hahaha." Xingyuan laughed loudly, lifted the two that were holding his legs with both hands and hugged them in his arms, and said, "Let's go, don't stand here anymore, go Let's take a look at the house, and I built it up bit by bit with my own hands."

Lu Xiang nodded, but paused for a while.

In fact, he and Sijun had already noticed Meng Xi'an not far away.

Strictly speaking, Lu Xiang and Sijun have nothing against Meng Xi'an himself. It can even be said that they appreciate each other very much.But in fact, the Meng family and Yumen are already feuds, the grievances between them are unclear, and it is also unclear who owes the other.

After Meng Chengyan died, Lu Xiang let go of what the Meng family did to Yumen, and when Yu Luzhou died, Meng Xi'an also let go of his hatred of killing Meng Chengyan by mistake.

But that's the best ending between these two families: Both let go of their hatred, but they can never be friends.

Xing Yuanhe noticed Lu Xiang's eyes, tugged at his cuff, and said nervously, "Leave him alone."

"It's okay." Lu Xiang smiled at Xingyuan, and when he turned to look at Meng Xi'an, the other party nodded slightly to him and Sijun, which was regarded as a distant greeting, so Lu Xiang and Sijun also nodded to return the courtesy.

Then all of them stopped looking at Meng Xi'an, and walked straight to Xingyuan's cabin, as if he didn't exist, and Meng Xi'an himself didn't feel uncomfortable, and still followed Xingyuan leisurely.

The parting time was very long, and this time they only got together for a short time, so Xing Yuan and Lu Xiang couldn't help but keep chatting, telling each other everything that happened since they parted.They clearly felt that the time they spent together was very short, but for some reason, they stayed in Xingyuan's cabin for almost a month.

This month, Lu Xiang slept on the soft bed in Xingyuan's guest room, watching Meng Xi'an eating the cold wind outside the door all day, the more he felt that he couldn't bear it, he felt that if he stayed any longer, his guilt towards Meng Xi'an would be over. Drowned himself.

Lu Xiang bid farewell to Xingyuan, but Xingyuan didn't stay much longer.After all, they are close friends who have experienced life and death, and parting will not cut off the relationship between them.

The night before Lu Xiang decided to leave, Meng Xi'an, who hadn't spoken to Xingyuan for a long time, finally spoke to Xingyuan for the first time.

At that time, Xingyuan was about to rest, and when he really wanted to close the window, he suddenly found that Meng Xi'an, who had been sitting on the treetop, had disappeared.

In this situation, most likely Meng Xi'an wanted to leave to catch the demon.

Xing Yuan couldn't help feeling a little worried, just as he stuck his head out of the window to take a look, Meng Xi'an suddenly appeared in front of Xing Yuan again.

Xingyuan was startled, and suddenly froze.

Meng Xi'an frowned, stared at Xingyuan for a long time without speaking.Xingyuan also looked at Meng Xi'an, he was visibly thinner, a little more tired than before.

After looking at each other for a long time like this, Xing Yuan thought that Meng Xi'an still wouldn't speak, but Meng Xi'an suddenly called out Xing Yuan's name.

"Xingyuan..."

These two words were very dry, as if his throat was being pulled.

"I said I changed my name." Xing Yuan's first reaction was to pour cold water on Meng Xi'an with a cold face.

Meng Xi'an's face became gloomy again, and he seemed to be in a very bad mood.

The name "Xingyuan" was given to Xingyuan by Meng Xi'an. When he gave Xingyuan this name, the bond between them was formed.But now, Xingyuan has been trying his best to resist this name, to him it is like denying their past together.

The moment he saw Meng Xi'an's expression, Xingyuan suddenly regretted it again, but the words had already been spoken and there was no way to take them back.So Xingyuan avoided Meng Xi'an's gaze, changed the subject and asked, "If it's okay, I'm going to rest."

"I have something to do." Meng Xi'an took a deep breath, and said to Xing Yuan full of exhaustion and nostalgia, "I have to leave for now, this time it will take a little longer, so I think I should tell you."

Xingyuan wanted to ask what happened, but he didn't ask for a long time, and Meng Xi'an seemed to be impatient, and said again: "I can feel at ease while they are here with you. Let's go, wait for me to come back."

Perhaps because he was afraid that Xingyuan would say something nasty again, Meng Xi'an didn't listen to Xingyuan's answer, turned around and left.

Xingyuan stared blankly at his back disappearing into the night, and didn't recover for a long time.
