"Do you think it's suitable?"
The girl had the special style of a seaside fishing village, simple yet tolerable, like a sky full of stars — and the food in front of him was really fragrant, which made Momo swallow his saliva.
"Thank you." Momo nodded … Though he was hungry, he didn't gorge himself. Instead, he ate a few mouthfuls, "It tastes good, did you cook it yourself?"
The girl nodded with a smile, looking a bit shy … She was in the prime of her youth.
She seemed to recall something, saying, "Oh, I washed your clothes this morning and hung them outside. I'll take them back after they dry in the afternoon."
"I'm really sorry." Momo apologized, "The weather was fine when I came here yesterday, but it rained heavily not long after I got off the bus."
The girl tucked her hair behind her ear, telling Momo that this kind of weather was very common at the seaside.
She didn't continue to disturb Momo's meal, but started to clean up this family-run hotel — Momo inquired that the girl's name was Lui Yiyun, her father was Lui Hai, her mother was Luo Aiyu, and she had a sick grandfather.
A very common family in a fishing village … at least it looked like that.
After Lui Yiyun left, Momo spat out the food he had just eaten. He took out a talisman from his body, clamping it between his fingers.
The talisman burned instantly, turning into a spiritual light, scattering on the food on the table — for a while, there was no reaction.
'I hope it's a well-behaved monster.'
Momo murmured, suddenly feeling it was a waste to spit out the food — the taste was really good, simple ingredients could make such a taste.
This was the second day since he came to the seaside fishing village.
…
The small seaside place was very tranquil, with few tourists … or in other words, it was hard for outsiders to integrate into this isolated place.
Lui Village looked so lonely on the edge of the cliff.
Lui Yiyun's home was even closer to the cliff, and there were still several kilometers to walk to the village, which made it even more lonely.
Momo didn't forget why he came here — the legend of the sea monster.
After a few days, he still couldn't find any concrete clues. He only occasionally heard some taboo old stories from the villagers. Whenever he tried to get more information from the elders in the village, they would always turn around and leave or scold him as if he was an evil spirit and drive him away.
Within a few days, everyone in the village knew that there was a young man who came to inquire about the past. Therefore, when Momo walked on the small path, he always met strange and vigilant eyes.
When Momo thought that the legend was just a legend, a young man appeared in front of him.
He also came in the rain, awkwardly pushing open the door of Lui Yiyun's hotel.
Unlike him, who dyed his hair blonde and made it seem to be an outdated trend … This young man who was as young as him had long hair and casually tied it behind his head.
The moment he entered the door, Momo sensed the special thing of Taoist cultivators from his body — the wave of spiritual power.
The sky was completely dark, and the hotel halfway up the mountain seemed to be in the middle of a storm. The old door in the room was creaking because of this.
The young man with tied hair also noticed Momo who was eating at the table. His eyes brightened, coming to Momo.
"Can I sit down?"
Momo made a gesture of 'please'.
He even poured a cup of hot tea for the young man to drive away the cold. The young man politely received it with both hands. But when he held the teacup, he found the teacup in Momo's hands was steady, as if it had taken root.
The young man smiled faintly, gradually exerting his strength.
The owner of the hotel, who was dozing off in front of the counter, curiously looked at the hands of the two young men … At this moment, a bolt of lightning flashed outside the room. The owner of the hotel was startled and subconsciously patted her chest.
At this time, the two young men had separated — they just sat facing each other.
"Momo."
"Ye Fei."
They looked at each other and smiled.
When Momo was cultivating on the mountain, his favorite book wasn't the scriptures hidden in Dragon Tiger Mountain, but a martial arts novel that his master used as a pillow.
He didn't like the plot of killing people in the novel, but he liked the story of chivalry. He felt immortal cultivation was ethereal, and love in Jianghu was more down-to-earth.
Ye Fei was a master at the same age and cultivation level as him — the reason why he called her a master was because Momo thought he should be a master — otherwise, how could he travel in Jianghu?
Ye Fei's appearance was indeed what Momo had been dreaming of.
In the wind and rain, in the shabby hotel, the two masters inadvertently tested each other, and then introduced themselves.
Ye Fei was a disciple of a hidden sect. She had been out for training for some time. This time, she came here because she heard some weird legends in this remote fishing village, so she wanted to find out the truth.
"Tianshi Taoism of Dragon Tiger Mountain, Brother Mo, so you came from a famous sect. Sorry for my rudeness." Ye Fei was gentle and elegant, like a young master in a Jianghu novel.
"You flatter me, Brother Ye's sect is not bad!"
Even though the other party had only mentioned his sect, he really did not have any impression of it. Even though Daoism had declined, there were many branches of Daoism in the world. Even the older generation might not know all of them, let alone the so-called hidden Daoism.
While talking, Ye Fei suddenly lowered her voice, "Since Brother Mo chose to live here, have you noticed the monster Qi here?"
Momo knew what Ye Fei was talking about, then he smiled, "There's a little girl in this house with a bit of monster Qi, but she shouldn't be the sea monster we're looking for. If they are little demons that know their place and live an honest life, we will not care. "
Ye Fei didn't say anything, but asked the landlady to bring a bottle of local home-brewed wine to drink with Momo.
…
Maybe it was because there were only him and his master on Dragon Tiger Mountain, so he didn't see his peers.
Ye Fei's appearance seemed to make up for the lack of friends since childhood. Momo, who had a good tolerance for alcohol, was a little drunk that night. When he woke up, it was already late in the morning.
The sudden storm had stopped when he woke up, but the blue flowers in the garden downstairs were still wet with last night's rain.
But Momo didn't find Ye Fei. According to the landlady of the hotel, she went out early in the morning … Maybe she went to inquire about the news?
He didn't have time to tell her that he had inquired about a lot of things these days but got nothing — Momo patted his head with annoyance, thinking that he was too happy and forgot about the business.
He planned to go out to find Ye Fei, but he saw the little girl being scolded by the landlady at the door.
There was a red mark on the little girl's arm, and her eyes were red. Momo couldn't stand it, so he coughed and walked away. Then the landlady Luo Aiyu restrained herself and left quickly after scolding the little girl in a low voice.
The little girl lowered her head, picking up the things on the ground. She glanced at Momo shyly and turned around — She was going to dry the clothes, but she accidentally knocked them over and got scolded.
"This person isn't your biological mother, is she?"
Momo's voice suddenly sounded behind the little girl — — which made the little girl tremble slightly before stopping.
Momo walked up to her — Lui Yiyun's face was a little pale.
"What did you say? How could she not be my biological mother …" The little girl shook her head.
Momo suddenly grabbed Lui Yiyun's wrist as fast as lightning … which made her feel pain. Momo said in a low voice, "Believe it or not, I can make you show your original appearance right away. I'd like to see how an ordinary person with a bad face could give birth to a little monster. "
Golden light flashed in his eyes, his face was solemn like a dharma.
"I … I don't know what you're talking about, let go of me!" The little girl was scared and flustered.
"Still don't want to admit it? Then don't blame me. " Momo's face darkened, his voice cold … Though he just came down from the mountain, he had killed some man-eating little monsters and some ferocious ghosts, so he had some killing intent on his body.
"Don't …" The little girl trembled out of fear, "Don't … I, I didn't mean to lie to you. I just … don't know how to say it … "
"Then say it." Momo suddenly let go of Lui Yiyun's wrist, "But you'd better be honest. Because I'm an exorcist. "
"Don't … don't do it here." The little girl suddenly looked up at the attic behind her, "Follow me."
…
Golden Flower Aunt pushed the young man away in a hurry. She couldn't speak clearly, "Go, go, I don't know, I don't know anything!! Don't ask me!! Damn it, why is there another person asking?! Go!! "
Wasn't this the third one?
Ye Fei thoughtfully looked at the Golden Flower Aunt's expression. Then, she formed a seal behind her back and snorted coldly.
Golden Flower Aunt was stunned by the scolding, absent-mindedly.
Ye Fei asked in a low voice, "Old lady, just tell me what you know about that year, I won't hurt you."
The old man in front of him slowly talked about the past … the taboo things that the fishing village had done back then.
…
Behind the hotel on the hillside, there was a small cabin used to store sundries and firewood. Lui Yiyun took Momo to this place and then rolled up her sleeves to her elbows. Then, she saw some things that were different for looking for people.
Scales.
There weren't a lot of green scales, only a small area.
They didn't even look ugly, just like decorations on her fair arms.
"I … I don't know what happened to me." Lui Yiyun sobbed, "I was afraid at first, afraid that others would know about you … My mother isn't my biological mother, my father took her back."
"So, your father is a monster?" Momo frowned.
There were many problems in the union between a human and a monster … Momo realized that he hadn't met the boss of this hotel, Lui Hai, Lui Yiyun's father.
"I … I don't know." Lui Yiyun shook her head.
Momo thought for a while, saying, "If you don't mind, give me a drop of your blood."
Under Momo's serious gaze, Lui Yiyun had to find a wooden splinter, piercing her finger and dripping a drop of blood.
Momo took out a talisman from where the blood dripped. The little girl didn't know what Momo was murmuring, but the talisman suddenly shone magically.
"Well … you're a half-monster."
After a while, Momo took back the talisman, staring at Lui Yiyun, "You're a half-monster, your bloodline might come from your father or your mother … I'll know where your father is after I meet him."
"He drank too much and had a stomachache. Now he's recuperating in the clinic in the village. He hasn't come back for days." Lui Yiyun looked at Momo, asking nervously, "What … what do you want to do?"
Momo waved his hand, "A country has its own laws, and a family has its own rules. Don't worry, I won't kill a monster who knows its place. And we've made an agreement … But, if I know you've hurt someone, don't blame me. "
Lui Yiyun stepped back in fright.
Momo shrugged, "Don't worry, I've seen monsters living in the city who work hard to earn money to support their families. I'll say it again, I won't kill a monster who knows its place. Besides, I haven't fallen to the point where I need to get rid of a demon like you who isn't a threat at all to prove myself. "
"Re, really?"
"I'll tell you after I meet your father." Momo shook his head, "Maybe your bloodline comes from your mother? Then, your father might be a victim. "
The girl didn't speak.
Momo glanced at her, 'Maybe … she has thought a lot since she found her body was different from normal people?'
"Nothing for now." Momo smiled, "How about this, I'll keep it a secret for you for the time being. But you'd better pay more attention to it. "
“？”
Momo said seriously, "You're a half-monster, and you have more rationality than normal monsters. But you have the bloodline of a normal monster. When your rationality can't suppress the monster in your body, you'll probably lose control … For example, you'd better avoid your stepmother. Otherwise, she'll explode one day … But don't blame me if that happens. "
Lui Yiyun lowered her head, not daring to speak.
…
…
He wanted to go down the mountain to find Ye Fei, but he was delayed by Lui Yiyun's matter — An afternoon had passed when Momo told the girl about the rules outside.
At this time, Ye Fei came back.
"Brother Ye, I'm sorry, I didn't expect to be so drunk."
"Let's not talk about this." Ye Fei said, "Brother Mo, I found something when I went down the mountain today, please take a look!"
"What?"
